DARETT Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Is anyone running the SPL BB Version on here?.. I know some GTR owners are running it on RB30's with pretty decent results and spool. Just wondering how this would react on the Supra coupled with some cams (HKS 272). Wouldn't really push over 1.3bar, so around 600ish... Any experiences would be appreciated.

JamieP Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Whats the point of using such a large turbo for 600bhp? far better to go with one that matches your desired power output and will give better spool, T04-z would be my choice.

Ideally I wouldy go for a smaller one, however I am being offered the kit for a good price and a little cheaper than what a T04Z or similar would cost... My other project has taken alot of funds recently, and the credit crunch is beginning to kick in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a saying round here "buy cheap buy twice" TBH I know it might be cheap but if it spoils the drive of the car honestly you'll end up swapping it out. Just IMO!

Its a quality bit of kit but the SPL is a 1000bhp turbo that is going to be very laggy, i bet it wont make full boost till about 5000rpm where my T67 will make 600bhp and hits full boost around 3000rpm.

DARETT Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 Thanks guys, That's exactly what I wasn't too sure about. On the RB30's spool on the BB's wasn't too bad with boost at around 4500rpm. I was told that as it's the rare BB version spool is quicker than the non BB and full boost would be around 4-4.5k? However that T67 sounds more like my kinda turbo! What sort of boost threshold do these turbo's (T67) make that sort of power (600) at? Is anyone selling one?

Scott Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Get the T51 and sell it on for a profit... if its all above board of course. That way you could get a better suited turbo with the dosh you have made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
