I agree. I prefer a bit higher compression ratio and better quench. I don't recall what Mike is running currently. But I think he went with...
The head gasket quench vs compression ratio thing is a hotly debated topic. Some people prefer the Sti gaskets and having a better quench with...
Ah, ok, I thought Mike was running the RS gaskets to lower the compression down closer to stock. We will see how it compares to other GT30R...
Sonny is also running Sti head gaskets. But, I think as long as we keep it reasonable it should be fine. The key is cylinder pressure. We may...
There are a number of cars putting that down with no issues. But then some do. We can always do a compression test on the engine before we tune...
I think the S256 or the S259 will be the ticket for your build.
Yes, we are using a bracket to hold the turbo in place. I really don't think it will be an issue. But, on the off chance that any of our exhaust...
Just thought I would let everyone know how to get this going. You have to do a firmware upgrade. The software should have come with your APv2....
Welcome to the site!
I can post some logs when I am done if you like. As a note of caution though, these turbos are over a 30R and quite close to the 35R...but then...
You can come watch if you want. (Long drive though :( ) I am not sure if they have the sensor to log boost on there yet. I know the dyno has an...
The S256 are not as efficient under 7 psi like the GT30R, but they more than make up for it above...which is where we need it with 4 cylinder...
Sorry if it is a bit unclear...never really did any photo editing...best I could do with paint, lol.
I am not great at photo shop and all that, but here was the best overlay I could get of the S256 that is going on Sonny's car vs. a GT3071R [IMG]
Sonny's turbo does not really match up against the 35R so much as the 30R. Ghost's turbo is closer to the 35R, although it will flow more than a...
Just wait till you get it back...AC vent across the entire car! You did say it was ok to remove the entire interior right? Oh and we got in the...
Someone is offering a heck of a deal then. But I can still beat it with a turbo that should spool as fast or faster and outflow the 35r (73 lb/hr...
And just like the retail on the GT35R is $1500+- but you can get them for $1299, the retail on these is $1299, but I can sell them for less for...
Perfection takes time ;) Nice work on the car Doug! Can't wait to see the boost turned up some.
Very cool car. It is not often you see one that is used for what it was originally designed for! Welcome to the forums.
