Best single turbo for spool/power compromise

Recommended Posts

Thanx for all the advice guys.

 

Paul told me earlier the 88/75 is smaller than the 91/79 so not sure how thats making 700ish bhp. The 91/79 seems to produce 610-650bhp.

 

Went to see Lee today and saw gaz's bw300 unit which looks huge.

 

My ideal would be the billet 67.

 

After that something from BW producing circa 700hp, along the lines of the s366 with the larger .91ar.

 

Going to do some digging with AET for more info on the right unit.

 

What cams are you going for?

 

I don't think you'll get 610 bhp on stock cams with the 91-79 unit.. even with high boost settings.

Going off topic here a little i still think a correctly spec'd set of twins will out spool and power a ST setup, just needs somebody to get it right.

 

I was over at MRC the audi tuner a few days back, looking at some of there dyno graphs for 700+bhp RS4's they murdered my billet 67 graph for spool and power in the lower rev range and just beat my 730bhp graph for outright power as well , thats with less cc than i have as well, pair of porsche kkk turbos, the graphs certainly looked impressive and was from SRR.

:( im hoping for a lot more than 610 mate, more like 650+ hopefully.

 

 

Spoken with paul whiffin and AET today and all say this turbo can touch on 700hp.

 

Ive got stock cams but a greddy inlet manifold and Q45 TB.

 

I hope it does perform as i've been advised ... :search:

I will be supprised if you do 700bhp with stock cams mate, i could not get mine over 630bhp on stock cams, and that was strangled, if you want more than 550bhp cams is a good upgrade imo.

 

so when people selling these say the 91/79 is good for 720hp do they mean if you have cams, inlet manifold etc etc then mate?

 

tbh i'd like to hit as near to 650 as poss, even 630 would be great, anything above is a bonus for now.....

lol - that was the main reason for the thread tbh - trying to strike a balance between the two mate.

 

i know i can get a HUGE turbo with massive lag, but i would much rather a quick spool with as impressive bhp as poss. 650ish would be great. (700 is greedy!)

 

something like jamies billet 67 - best of both worlds

 

but the bigger BW turbos like the 91/79 seem a close match :thumbs:

this is my manifold here mate currently with Lee - http://www.obxracingsports.com/products.php?pk=1032

 

stupid quesion, but what difference does the divided/open give?

 

 

That manifold is divided, the T4 flange has two ports instead of one large open one.

 

You can run what ever turbo you want with that manifold, its not a good idea to put a divided turbo like the 88/75 on a undivided manifold, the center of the T4 flange gets to hot and breaks up.

depends whom you are trying to impress.

 

 

Good to see many choices on the market for all sorts of requirements and budgets. I am really glad with my choice as its perfect for a daily driver city car.

Thanks mate, good to know!!

 

i think the 91/79 comes with a .91 divided a/r - just hoping it would produce the kinda power its promising!!

Yup, i did hear they are bringing out a 1.10 divided ar for it, i think that may be a good turbo, whats putting you off using the GT35?

thanks mate - i believe Gaz6002 just had his dyno'd tonight with the same turbo - i'll let him reveal the results :)

 

You're right :) Lee text to say mine made 550bhp and 510lb/ft, will full boost at 4000rpm at 1.5 bar. That's at SRR, in full 'quiet' spec. I'll post up the graph when I get it.
