Thanks!

 

Well, they said that each turbo is good for 330 hp.

I´m hoping for around 480-500 rwhp to start with thus having the possibility to put out even more if/when I modify my fuelsystem.

That is if everything will work as planned, but you never know. Maybe it will be a huge disapointment, I really have no idea how it will work out.

Specs would be nice to compare with what we have available over here. Also, what type of dyno are you expecting 500 RWHP from ( what make & method of measurement).

Thank you!

Your and all others encouragement is very appreciated! :thumbs:

I don´t understand what you mean with what dyno. Do you mean what brand of the dynomachine itself? Please refrase the question and I´ll try to answer.

 

According to the company rebuildning them, the internal is the same as the twin turbos from HKS 2835-kit.

This is what frustrates me. You can't pyshically get 2835 internals in stock housings (Please correct me someone technically if I am wrong here). But if you could.......With such a small AR what is the surge going to be like? Is the cast header not a big restriction?

 

Sizes for the smallest sized 2835's ( 48 Trim)

Compressor

Inducer 49.3mm Exducer 71.1mm

Turbine

Exducer 51.8mm Major 56.5mm

 

Sorry for the confusion in my first question. What is the make of the Rolling Road being used, & what method does it use. I am trying to establish whether we are talking US RWHP or UK RWHP

I will check with the company that made them, when I come back from France in one week.

 

As for the dyno, we have a few places where you can dyno the car. I don´t know what equipment they have, but when I do dyno the car I will find out.

I didn´t know there was a US RWHP and a UK RWHP. What´s the difference?

Tom, firstly I have been reading the threads on Supraforums & must applaud you for the amount of effort you have gone to with your set up. You seem to be going much further than anyone over here has with Hybrids, ( Not sure it makes economical sense though:eek: ) with regard to the outlets & header. Please do check those sizes with your turbo builder & let me know what they say.

 

On the RWHP thing, VERY generally, US RWHP tends to equate to UK Flywheel bhp on a manual car, because of the methods used to measure it. We have already achieved over 500 bhp flywheel in the UK with hybrids, & Ian C only recently got 470 bhp at quite low boost levels.

 

Once again well done, your results will be very interesting.

I don't think I need to comment on the above...

 

Good luck with your hybrid venture though. If you are totally against big singles and twins then it sounds like you may well be seeing the next best thing. Be careful how much metal you take out of the stock manifold.....;)

Terry!

 

I´m going to dyno the car at this company, http://www.rototest.com

You can read about their dyno-equipment at their site.

 

I´ll soon be adding more updates to this thread, I hope

Tom as Alex said should be a good test. The figure depends on how they calculate the bhp. I will dig up some info for you to ask them questions about.

 

Best of luck.

Nice car!, i really loved your video and all my friends were glued to the screen.Good job!.

 

I would suggest to you to get some decent cams and a type R intercooler.The S can only cope to 450 maybe 500 with water injection...

 

Whats the fastest car you 've ever beaten?

 

What was the performance of that cossie? it looked like he kept up ok up to 200Km?

 

THat was my impression

Anyway keep us updated with your mods;)

 

Will you do the part 3 after your turbos?

:sex: THey ll never get you with this kind of performance

hhehe

Unfortunately GIS3 was a rather over-produced piece of glam driving (in an NSX) - nice car, but boring film compared to GIS2 - which was fast and raw.

 

I watched 2 on a Monday and fell in love with the Supra and it's naughty handling - and by the Friday was driving the one I own now :-)
