new turbo

Since everyone likes threads which involve delivery trucks and goodies...

I'm upgrading the turbo on my NX2000 to a GT2871R. With the boost dialed up, the new 800cc injectors can support well over 400 hp.

I don't plan on having the boost that high. The Tial Wastegate (with screamer tube!) has 7 and 12 psi springs. I'll dyno with both.





Screamin Type ARGH!

Re: new turbo

nice. haha "screamer tube", did the same on my fiero turbo, holy crap the sound was indescribable! just bounces right off the road under you lol.

but a couple of Nissan SR20's would pull a premium one week before race wars.

Re: new turbo

Good choice on the gt2871r. It'll spool fairly quickly but I think you're better off w 12 psi spring. What will you use for boost control?

Re: new turbo

Not sure yet. I'm just gradually acquiring stuff.

I want to dyno with both, just in case - if I won't be competitive in a class, I might have the boost dialed down to run in something else (not sure what the fields will be like in Alberta).

I have to show dyno charts to scrutineers.

Re: new turbo

Soon... I can't even install this stuff yet. I need to install fuel pump which will move more fluid - and a fuel cell.

There's a lot of work to do.
