Turbo thoughts


Recommended Posts

Been awhile! Car is still running great, getting ready to have the motor sleeved etc. I want to keep the TMIC and I was thinking that the only upgraded turbo from my 1.5xtr would be the EFR7163. (49lb vs 60lb) Would be v-band and IWG. Still talking to full race about the issues people have been having hitting high boost without a dual port actuator and 4 port EBCS.

 

Would then be able to sell:

Catted Cobb DP with full blanket setup

Grimmspeed coated and wrapped up

Blouch 1.5xtr 10cm with blanket and heatshield

 

What are your thoughts and opinions? Catted or Not? Will be tuned for E85 on as much boost as it can efficiently produce. I am not interested in rotated. Needs to stay a sleeper.

Have you talked with a Tuner to see what they recommend. There are some good places in your state.

305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).  CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

I am working with my tuner Max, I just wanted to get the opinion of the "old heads".

 

What I want:

Full Race 1.5 scroll manifold coated

Full Race EFR 7163 Kit up/down v-band coated

Turbosmart Dual Port IWG actuator

4 port EBCS

DW440 brushless pump

DW 40amp pump controller (PWM)

 

Getting ready to put the money down today so the full race parts can be ordered. Agile will be installing the engine and doing all tuning.

 

Have to wait on Full-Race, but the car should be totally done in 6-8 weeks. Then I will be selling:

*6k miles on parts*

 

Perrin coated ELH

Catted Cobb DP with full blanket setup

Grimmspeed coated and wrapped up

Blouch 1.5xtr 10cm with blanket and heatshield

GS EBCS with larger ports

Turbosmart BPV

AEM 340lph pump

 

Hoping to have one of the baddest 4th Gens in the region!
