island, you still want those pistons?

 

Wow finally a topic I really know something about, turbos. I have over 8 years of experience running various turbo/Accel DFI setups on my race built civic (yea I know its an import 4 cylinder).

Anyway a wastegate can be set at multiple boost levels, which can usually be easily changed with different internal springs.

The BEST way to adjust boost levels is a manual or electronic boost controller. These use vacuum lines hooked up to the wastegate to alter the boost the turbo runs at.

With one of these controllers you can raise and lower boost levels to any desired setting as long as the levels do not exceed the boost wastegate ratings.

As far as intercoolers for a 6-8psi setup the larger the better. Now you will loose some boost pressure, anywhere from 1-1.5psi from a large intercooler BUT the larger intercoolers will allow more of the hot exhaust (from your engine) to cool off through heat absorption and air cooling during driving.

I run one large T04 turbonetics/xs engineering ball bearing turbo on my honda. This turbo can easily provide over 20psi of boost and because of its ball bearing design spools up quick and fast like a smaller turbo.

Personally I would think a single large turbo may be better for drag racing. Many of the fastest Nissan Skylines and Supras replace the dual turbo setups with one large turbo.

Since our V8s dont spin up as fast as a smaller 4 or 6 cylinder engine a twin turbo setup on a chevy V8 would probably be the best way to go. Running to medium sized turbos each set at 6-8psi would yield some serious hp gains, at least 120-160+hp.

 

Hey SlowV, PM me with the info again.

Thanks

 

It worked. Thanks Neil
