Turbo

[JackF]

Over on the turbo forum is a description of a turbo motor Preyupy built using a Garrett turbocharger. For those looking for a bit more juice it might be worth a thought.

Here's the link for those too lazy to go find it

From all the research I've dug into a T25 with AR .42 is a good fit for our engine. For low pressure 7psi that is. It's basically maxed out but fits well with out inefficient engine. Most poeple seem to bypass it because its small and they want to go up to 12 psi or more so they want a bigger one. Everyone wants more more more. I've got a stupid dream of an under 7psi system... no more than that.

 

From what I understand .42 to .50 is a good AR to be at. A very common turbo is a T3 with AR .60 which gives a lot more room but probably spools a little slower, but of course, good for cranking boost.

 

But I'm 75% right most of the time.

I was a SAAB dealer when I had my Turbo, and since the KKK unit was shot, we modified one of our Garrett units from our parts department for use on the 2002. It worked very well.

7psi is the low setting on my boost controller. Good for 150 hp/tq at the wheels on a stock engine. It’s a fun level of power without having to worry too much about breaking parts.

 

A small T3 spools plenty quickly though, and will provide some extra headroom when you get power hungry.

 

So 50/50 this time

Lets face it the kkk used on the turbo is a 50 year old design, been just a few improvements in turbo technology since then. So if your restoring a turbo the kkk is a must if your building a turbo car you have much better tubros to pick from.
