Boost designs turbo kit

[chad_KAT]

The turbo that comes with there kit says i can ether get a .50 or .57 compressor. i'll probly get the .57 trim. whats the maxium power this turbo can put out? 350+ 400+ 450+????? just would like to know and how much boost can it put out too.?

Thanks, chad

max power will depend on all kinds of other factors like your tune, compression ratio, drivetrain loss, etc etc. Max boost, however, can be estimated to probably around 25 or so pounds on the high end, depending on your setup's volumetric efficiency. This of course says nothing about what your engine will be able to actually handle-- just what the turbo is capable of putting out before it becomes too inefficient.

Check out the stickey at the top of this forum with the "great info" and read up about compressor maps, and welcome to NICO!

Well my goal is to get 400WHP with the boost designs kit(yes AEM EMS Build motor ECT...) im just wondering if the turbo that comes with the kit will support my needs and has a good quick spool. Thanks

I am at full boost 10psi around 3k(t3/t4). Keep in mind that daily driven that it is easy to get into boost. If you drive with a lead foot you will be in boost all the time.

If youre going for 400whp, I'd worry more about the 0.48AR exhaust housing. Its good for quick spool, but not the best for big power.

it should still be able to hit 400. That's right about max efficiency though.

Id say go with a bigger turbine side for 400whp

[Structure240sx]

i say go with a bigger, with a built motor and AEM EMS having 400rwhp is not much. you will have the engine and management to take it much higher so why limit yourself when you just dropped $6k for a standalone and built motor?

turbo lag is overrated a few hundred rpms is not very noticeable, even 1000rpms isnt that big of a deal

.48 AR is WAY TO SMALL, I can't stay out of boost with the T3/TO4E 50 trim .63 AR. That turbo is good for over 400whp and has no lag to speak. Buy it, you'll be very happy.

the stage 3 high flow turbine wheels we have in our ported out .48 turbine section will get you over the 400HP mark if you have the fuel management to back it up plus the lag is almost non existant. thanks

I'd be real interested to see anyone put down 400+ WHP with a .48 AR exhaust housing stgIII wheel or not.

What about with crower v3 cams? 50rwhp increase on Ivan's setup 342rwhp on 10.5 psi that's with his turbo though what is his turbo size in realtion to the T's?

[chad_KAT]

im still leaning towards ths stage 3 from BD's... i just rather use Arias pistons and a different fuel set-up....i'll have to e-mail BD's too see if this is possible.

The v3 cams sound sweet. but what about drivability....this will be my daily driver and i want it to run smooth. I know cams will give you a nice rumbely idel but thats fine...just waiting for some other people to review the V3 cams.
