ok so im in the stages now of boosting my del sol with a b16 a2 I swapped in over last winter, this winter its boost time baby, ive been researching any spare time ive had on what will work best, ive chosen to build my own kit seeing as how im quite competent being a licenced mechanic up here in the cold winter parts of toronto, SO im not going to go here and throw out my parts list and say what hp should i expect, ive just got a few question and want to see if my calculations are correct and im on the right path. so far ive started my turbo parts stack in my room and it consits of a turbo XS BOV , ARP studs and a lightened 9lb flywheel.
NOW im trying to pick my turbo and manifold set up, the external or internal wastegate option will depend on opinions i will recieve from some ppl who are more knowledgeable on this topic than myself.
ok so Pissedoffsol, from reading your links on reading compressor maps on turbobygarrett.com i did the math and after ressurecting all highschool math classes ( i really should have watched more of the blackboard than the blondes legs next to me) anyways im shooting for 300whp on a b16 a2 stock internals, ive seen it done on8.5 lbs of boost, with a t3/t4 hybrid so i know its possible but from what ive calculated ill need a compressor that will need to flow 33lb/min and my pressure ratio worked out to 2.8. what should i be lookin for? i understand most of this but what about this A/R ratio, what turbo should i be hunting for?? from what i understand a GT2860Rs which has a .60A/R would put me where i want on the map according to their advice? am i thinking straight or no??
i should also mention my tuner uses crome. while were on the topic of turbo choice, what manifold would you suggest, ive noticed these SS auto chrom mani's and for the price its seems like it should be considered, when i hear ppl rippin on SS A. C are they just insulting their cheap turbos, cause i dont plan on runnin a crap turbo. but if the manifolds dont crack then i would consider this choice for now and spend the saved cash on a good quality turbo. if ive missed some piece of important info feel free to bark at me and call me such names as NOOB etc.
thanx alot,
Paul
