Holy rear wheels KW! This is one hot turbo.

So that's 290hp odd - Solid clean looking tune judging by the graph - Assuming it's on 98 too not eflex??

A bit of boost control bounce but yes it's very clean.

2L and a big turbo also.

That's a PWR Twincooler? Did you have any trouble fitting to the SE?

yeh that is a PWR twin cooler, only problem we had with fitment was the oil line fouling on the cooler pipe. I have turned the fitting towards the centre of the car more since that photo and clears happily

tuned on BP 98, not 2L though. Bought a brand new block after i broke a rod and is 20 thou over

it is taking some learning to drive

interesting, every online calculator i looked at does not take into account combustion chamber. my knowledge is pretty limited in this area but by using that method a standard engine size is 2046cc (as opposed to 1839cc factory stated) and mine is 2091 so a "gain" of approximately 50cc?

Postby **NitroDann** » Sat Jun 15, 2013 4:07 pm

What you are saying is spot on and totally correct. You are referring to swept volume not total capacity.
What's nice about cars with artificial aspiration is that unlike an n/a car the combustion chamber is also filled.

Regardless you have an 1850 nine it another 50cc it's damned close to 2L.

I wasn't trying to say you a are cheating or anything it just helps explain why the car does such a great job of spooling that big turbo as opposed to something like charlie's old car or pats car.

While capacity helps, it just looks like a well considered system build with clever things that I suspect were thought out rather than guessed at.

Short manifold with a heavy casting will keep the exhaust to the turbo hotter than many set-up and spool like a beast while not having a great effect on top end.

Intake generally costs these more power than exhaust manifold, and that looks well catered for here too.

Regardless of anything else, that graph looks solid, the boost bounce would likely be slightly improved on the road vs dyno, and could be attributed to a number of things, particularly a cheap boost controller (not sure what's on this car though).

Should have plenty more left in her too - But I'd bet my broken retaining wall it's a pleasure to drive
