I know there is a lot of info out there about the BBK Lite, but does anyone have experience, or more importantly, dyno information of the ported version? Thanks.

 

Ball bearing Lite, or journal bearing?

 

bbk turbos are no longer available anyway. fyi.

 

OP could be buying a used one. And there is plenty of info on those turbos just search around, thats what I did when I was planing on getting a bbk full. I am sure that there is info on the bbk lite

 

I actually just purchased a BBK Full! I can't wait to see how it performs

 

Where did you buy it from? And I heard those make some serious power

 

Bought it from a member here!

 

I have a BBK full ported.
Depending on what mods you have and fuel you use its a reliable 400-500whp turbo

 

The one I purchased has the FP 84mm anti surge cover. I'll post a dyno whenever I get around to installing it

 

I ran a BBK Lite on my EVO 8, made 409 whp on 93 octane with great response. Was an awesome setup. This was on a completely stock engine with HKS 280s. I can't find the dyno graph from my best pulls, but here's one from a previous day.

 

porting makes little difference on these cars most of the time- we offered it as a service because it was requested- I never saw a measurable power difference on the dyno-

we made 425whp on a bbk lite on pump gas on a well built 2.0 at one point- normally they were 375-400- not far behind a bbk full since they shared the same compressor- but less back pressure

glad to see someone else comment on that. from what I have seen the porting people pay for is a complete waste of money on this platform. contrary to early dsm turbo setups where some good port work makes massive improvements in spool and power.

 

Well my Full blew up on the dyno. Looking for other options now...
