contractkiller Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 hello all, I just got in the mail today my BNR Supercars 18G turbo and was wondering if anyone else is running this turbo with otherwise stock configuration? What do you guys think? http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p226/XJHERO/turb-2.jpg http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p226/XJHERO/turb.jpg what did u mean when you said. it felt like i was driving a civic? did u mean the car felt like it was more dependable and it was getting better mpg's?

01rs25 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I have one but I'm far from stock. And I'm in Md! AVO inlet DW 850 injectors Walbro 255 Fuel pump Grimmspeed UP with EWG RacerX FMIC Invidia Catless DP Magnaflow CB Grimmspeed EBCS K&N typhoon Guess that's the majority of the important parts.

bmx045 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 wow! never heard of it! there are threads all about this turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
contractkiller Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 yeah, this was a necessity upgrade when I turned my factory unit into the equivalent of a blender full of nails... Im on a serious budget so I basically have the turbo and oil feed line from infamous and intend on just getting an e-tune until funds for a FMIC, injectors and a bunch of exhaust goodies are available... just outta curiosity, what kinda power are you making 01rs25? what did u mean when you said. it felt like i was driving a civic? did u mean the car felt like it was more dependable and it was getting better mpg's?

HDTurbo Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 i have a box of 18g, too. and with the fp, DWs, and Infamous tune I'll be pissed to let the Spec b sit en garage through the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infamous1 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Depends on your mods, if all stock currently you will not notice the hit in spool you would take if you were currently stg 2. With a tune alone typically I see stg 1 like midrange and stg 2ish topend. Essentially feel like a stg 1 STi in terms of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChruiSSer Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 With Supporting modifications I put down 300wheel on a mustang dyno. Very happy thus far. Wish I went bigger, but then again that always happens. VF40<VF52<16G<VF39<18G<20g<FPGreen<etc.... The 18g is the limit and about as far as I would go on a stock motor. From there up at least pistons are necessary IMHO. I'm looking at building a block I have laying around. With more HP comes more broken parts, more $$$ and much more aggravation.

01rs25 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I wish I went with something different as well. Spool up on the BNR 18 is late and power isn't what I was expecting. Slammed more than your girlfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChruiSSer Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Don't get me wrong, I love this turbo, it's probably one of the better DD turbos. I'm just never satisfied with what I have. This car is slightly faster than a stage II STi now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you end up making? I have road tuned more than a few of these I have yet to feel unimpressed. On E85 these things are really monsters...like just under 400whp.

Dotted line is my stage 2 protune that I had there. The car is fun, don't get me wrong but considering I only really picked up 50hp and 20ft/lbs. I'm not to terribly impressed. Maybe it's the tune or the gas that it was tuned on. I wish I had e85 available to me. Slammed more than your girlfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 320-330 range is about the norm, possibly 350 TQ. Typically should be about a 75whp bump give or take a few from stg 2. So your results are a bit down, even your graph is a bit odd as you are making peak power at the end of the pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infamous1 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Wow! There almost identical! What are your mods? Big differencce is one is a Dynapak and the other is a Mustang dyno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01rs25 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Either way, they are very similar in the way the graphs are. Peak power comes at about the same time as does spool up. Slammed more than your girlfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChruiSSer Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 For a ~$1,000 budget turbo, you can't beat it. It's reliable, effective, and half the price of a larger "brand name" turbo. Mods are essentially: BNR billet 18G Catless UP Cobb Catted DP Borla Catback AVO Top Mount AVO Inlet Hose SPT intake Walbro Fuelpump Deatschwerks 850 cc injectors Cobb AP tuned by EFILogics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balrock Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 No BNR, but another 18G. I so wanted E85 Infamous E-tunethis year, but that did not quite happen. Will have to wait the winter out now. For now I just burn corn in the furnace. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/infamous1-mustang-dyno-results-148268.html?t=148268 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01rs25 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Good numbers. Was it an STi style turbo? Slammed more than your girlfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infamous1 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Good numbers. Was it an STi style turbo? It was an old Blouch I believe... so no, it is LGT style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balrock Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 It is a Deadbolt, LGT style. One of the first avaiable upgrades. Bought this thing like in late 06...mid 07. Spool is bad, but mid range and top end are healthy. I am hoping E85 will help liven it up.....or atleast help me catch up to everyone else from the lag. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm beginning to think the 18g in the factory style housing is just laggy in general when running pump fuel. Wish I had corn available here!!! Infamous this generally what you've seen as well?

Remember he is TD06, I have had some spool at as low as 3000rpms. The billet variants really get moving. All the late spoolers usually are running headers and in most cases equal lengths. Generally the hit is felt at about 3800 while full boost is about 500 rpms before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
