In The Club

Huge thanks to Luke, Jet and those that have helped to get a turbo sorted.

 

Turns out, the future 'toilet roll holder' that I've been using for mock-up, is getting a rebirth as the turbine hadn't munched the housing. ProCharge Turbochargers in Vic have got the nod.

 

All the 66mm lovers will be disappointed but it's going to be GTX3582R spec. They're Garrett agents so it's getting a genuine .07 anti-surge cover; billet wheel of course, ceramic bearings and basically the gen2 spec cage etc shoved into the donor CHRA. Price is very competitive with no China spec.   

 

I didn't want to push the BF2 phoon donk too hard and Ben Smith (Gold XW barra ute) has run 10.40's at 142mph with a GTX3582R and near identical combo as I'll be running with about 400rwkw on tap. Plenty quick enough for me in the old bus.       

 

 

Not running this one but check it out. 69mm wheel - custom turbine. 1000hp in a 35 frame.

Looking forward to it buddy

Ive got a spare fg turbo floating around

 

That 69mm looks mighty tempting 

[OZYWALKER]

Twin FG turbo Matty, you know you want to.

[MattyP]

Yeah cause I feel like sending 10k of to nizpoo and get nothing in return

[Puffwagon]

Just send me 8 grand and I'll post you an autographed potato. That's at least a signed potato better than nothing plus it's 20% off!

[MattyP]

Yeah I don't get the twin turbo nizpoo at all, Whats the point?? apart from draining your wallet of course

[Puffwagon]

The twin vs single debate has been done to death. 

 

There are people on both sides of the fence. 

[MattyP]

With deep deep pockets

Initial contact with the company is A1. Very professional. That 69mm bad boy has their custom rear turbine to overcome backpressure issues where others have tried, but failed.

 

I'm not totally locked in on the wheel size. I've given them my requirements so will let them build what they think is the best combo. It won't be less than the 62 of course and might be a 6+6 configuration or 11 blade. I'd like a little bit of head room but don't want something that isn't really in peak efficiency until its got 20+ up it either. It's always a compromise so hopefully will land in the middle zone somewhere. 18psi and 400rwkw on 98 would be mint.
