Jamesy Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 Might have a slight change of plans for this now - am in the process of choosing a new turbo. After spending time reading other projects and speaking to other members, i've decided i'd rather go for big power now rather than booking in again with Lee straight away for a new turbo!! My top 3 choices for turbo are currently between: BW 91/79 Billet 67dbb T04Z Would lke to get it up to around 700bhp, but i know to achieve that i'll need to upgrade the cams asap....... Decisions Decisions!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be great mate, i think much over that and the BL box may struggle - Lee's fitting 2 coolers on it already! Roll on Aug 14th at the Pod!! How much is the Billet. When do you have to make your mind up. Want to make my mind up within the next week or 2 really mate, even though its one of the last things to be fitted ...... the Billet 67 is top of my wish list but i'll have to see what pans out in the next week or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Things seem to be coming along nicely now eh Jamesy? I'll be eager, as I'm sure will you to see this run once completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate - yeah we're getting all the final bits in now!! Just need to decide between me and Lee which turbo is best for what i want which is 700bhp eventually once the cams go in! The BW turbos are rated to 720hp but so far all the results i've seen with people having them fitted are between 550bhp-620bhp. Again the cams are a big step in making it possible! The Billet turbo is the best mix of power and spool though but cant really stretch to a new unit. Either way i just cant wait to get it all done and enjoy the summer ... and Suprapod!!

Gaz6002 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Personally I'd want a turbo that isn't running at its maximum for the power level I'm after, so maybe go with something bigger than the BW units you mention just to over-engineer a little? I think the billet 67 would suit your build nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Gamers car was pretty insane on a 71 with bl auto, felt very fast back then, must of been about 700bhp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont remember that one - what 71 turbo was that mate? Apparently the BL box will make it feel nice and tight - just point and steer!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 Yeah spot on Rick Having some Further guidance from Ryan about the turbo choice. With regards to hks cams.....what are the differences or best options as ive seen 256, 264 and 272's all advertised in the past?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan.G Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Get some Titan or gsc cams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) Cheers Ryan, will have a look around today. What are the differences between the 256, 264, 272 and 280's though? is there a certain type better suited to what i'm after?

Frank Bullitt Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Cheers Ryan, will have a look around today. What are the differences between the 256, 264, 272 and 280's though? is there a certain type better suited to what i'm after? 256, 264, 272 & 280 is the duration of the cam. Duration is the angle in crankshaft degrees that the valve stays off its seat during the lifting cycle of the cam lobe. Increasing duration keeps the valve open longer, and can increase high-rpm power. Wouldn't look at anything over 264 otherwise the engine will become too lumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
