Home made Turbo kits.

wow, i didn't realise this thread was still active!

I'm looking at a wolf 3D to do the computing, but still undecided on turbo or supercharger. i may just do the computer and a set of cams.

Charger!

Sounds pretty useful if mainly just for the initial setup. You can't really avoid going to a dyno to get the most out of a tune.

The main differentiator between high-end ECU's and mid-range back when I was doing my research was the ability to accept a knock-sensor waveform as an input for knock-control. Maybe more of them are offering that now I'm not sure.

if science is still intent on turning his car into something rallyesque then it has to be a turbo sorry. And we should be able to hear the anti-lag from the other side of the forrest!

*CRACK! BANG! CRACK!*

TURBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Preen59]

TURBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BLOWER!!!

[twin eng, twin turbs]

BLOWER!!!

You slip a blower on your 16v bro and come race my turbo 16v and that will prove the point once and for all!!!

One day i will build a blown mechanically injected 16v on alcohol and blow you away buddy.

[Oneofthegreats]

You could have 10.5:1, Alcohol, blower, mechanical injection & throw nitrous in there just for the sake of it

My money would still be on this on PULP. Maybe even C16

Hell, all you would have to a 16V internally for a turbo is change the rod's.



Just out of interest, Valver's ABF 16V is only on 15psi & making 225kwatw! It's got a T3/4. Imagine what it could make on 25psi! That turbo will do that too!

I've read about a few of the blown 16V's 1.8 & 2L's & there nowhere near the same power level with the same boost level's. some can't even get near it with a 100hp hit of gas! Even with built engine's.

The BBM 16V blower setup is rated upto a whooping 300hp! Phwooooor.

I love blower's, the look's, the noise, the throttle response, but not on small capacity engines incl. the VR6. They don't make enough power as it is to bleed off more to drive something else.

Sorry Preen, I don't think a blower will get near it.

Screw you guys. You guys and your turbochargers. What's the point in having an extra 50hp if you are already getting wheelspin though?

[thestu]

i agree with preen...

but it does make for some phat noises from the engine bay i love the dump/vent

[Oneofthegreats]

More like 150hp.

There is no point other than say I've got it & you don't & you can never take it away from me.

Boost drop's the minute your wheel spinning whether your blown or turbo'd regardless.

Meh. I like beating people with inferior equipment.

Yeah that's true, because the load comes off the engine. But still.

you guys should really quit your silly argument and look at the new golf tsi.. i'm sure that by-pass valve could be done mechanically...

Don't even start on those crappy arse setup's. That's my opinion of them anyway.

Sorry to offend anyone who's got one.

Not interested one little bit in them.

Hahaha. I like the idea. Wouldn't own one though.
