Here are some pics of my new turbo, with my rebuild engine :-D still waitting for it to get tuned tho :-\

 

Looks nice, but isn't that a big turbo for the tC? When does it spool up and how much lag do you have with it? Maybe these are dumb questions and I am thinking of a different turbo, but if not, let me know.

 

o nice, gt30 with the new internal wg option housing....nice upgrade still using the greddy manifold. time to upgrade the ic piping =)

 

Not at all, its actually a really good match

I am just being nosy but upgrade as in how?


Nice choice in turbo Did you go with the ported shroud option?

Don't forget the water lines ;)

Enjoy!

the greddy kit has pretty small ic piping =/ so by upgrading it it should reduce a small amount of lag and just a few more ponies =)

 

Interesting...........all I am going to say is bigger is not always better

But everyone has there own opinions.

nice set up! can't wait to see what dyno result you get once tuning is complete!

 

why not? upgrading from a 2" ic piping to a 2.5" shouldnt hurt=more air flow

 

why internally?

 

I dont want to "hyjack" this thread, if you want start another topic and we can discuss it in detail, but he is no where near maxing out the small piping with the boost levels he is running, changing to a bigger size only creates more area to pressurize.

that makes sense.. bigger the pipe more it takes to build up a pressure leaving less of the boost?! right?

 

To add to that you might have adverse effect since the air velocity will be slower with larger pipe.

Will any of this really effect his setup...doubt it

 

Bigger Piping=less Air Velocity

 

I can calculate velocities and such if anyone wants.. At least I should be able to cuz it's what I'm doing right now in Dynamics...

Anywhoos, sick turbo, and yea once it's tuned get some dynos, videos and some runs at the track when you are comfortable...

Keep it up.

Please do.

 

wait he said nothing about what boost level he is running, hes got a built motor too!

so your saying if hes running 12psi, the tiny 2" ic piping would be worse....give me a break.....

 

=faster spool up.....pushing more psi=more hp =P

 

What do dynamics have to do with this? Dynamics has to do with stuff like changing forces on a bridge.
This is fluid mechanics. There are too many variable to do any calculations on this.

What good would it do anyway? His setup is just fine.

 

yep this is fluid mechanics and you wouldn't be able to calculate it because in school you assume fully developed flow. This would be turbulent and would not be fully developed due to the turbo spooling. Thus you can calculate it but it'd be totally off

i know this bc i'm a mech engineer

oh and sexy turbo. any numbers yet?

 

Dyno sheets?
