HELP: To4E turbos

[cosmo]

While we have this thread revived...I'm thinking seriously of trying to trade my whole turbo for a new one with the right turbine housing and a 60 trim compressor...OR stepping up to a T3/T04R, I'm only worried that the T3/T04R wouldn't spool up in time and would be a bit mismatched. It seems to be such a new turbo that I cant find compressor maps for it either What does team NICO think of this new badboy? http://store.yahoo.com/cheaptu....html

"The Big Kahuna" lol. Love the name, but I think I'd rather get that GT30. hmmm.....:ylsuper

Yeah and which camaro can outhandle a stock 240?????Dont get me wrong there nice cars but there FAT and clumsy

[Nathan]

Easy...a 1985 IROC can pull .92 G's, and run the 1/4 quicker than a 240. Check out the first on the list: http://sethirdgen.org/performance.htm Stock 240's reportedly pull ~.89 G's on a skidpad and we all know it's RARE to get one that runs in the low 15's.

Yeah ok thats good it has nice grip but its bigger and heavier stock for stock it wont out handle a 240 240's straight line are slow out the boxDifferent cars have different things there good at 240 - HandlingCamaro - Straight line performanceAsk anyone what each of these cars are known for.

[Nathan]

Tell me how if it sticks to the road better, AND has more power it wont outhandle a 240? It's almost close enough to be up to the driver...but still, dont be so close minded. Just because it has a solid rear axle doesn't mean it cant handle on par with a soft-suspensioned, understeering, underpowered stock 240

[C-Kwik]

Stock for Stock, the Camaro is pretty good. Put some tires that are of at least the same compund and the 240 is going to start putting out much better handling numbers.

That .92 for a 85 trans am doesnt seem right it looks like a typothe 87 has .85, the 88 is .82, there all in the .8 's but thats grip the camaro/firebird had wider tires (and probably better tires) on it and thats on a 200ft or 400ft skidpad, show me some Slalom times

[Nathan]

show me some Slalom times

I couldn't find good ones for both camaros AND early 240's I don't think the IROC having better handling was an anomoly though...I think it had a better suspension. I'd have to do entirely too much research to figure it out though

[Sil240]

WOW the 5.0 trans am made the same amount of hp as the Ka DOHC but tons more torque 245 The 85 weighs 3400Acceleration Manual Automatic 30 mph 2.3 2.4 40 mph 3.8 3.8 50 mph 5.3 5.2 60 mph 7.5 7.0 70 mph 9.8 9.4 80 mph 12.4 12.2 90 mph 15.4 15.0 100 mph 20.5 19.8 110 mph 28.8 26.1 120 mph 41.7 35.5 130 mph 51.4

couldn't find for the 85 i was too lazy too look more but here's the 86 datahttp://www.thirdgen.org/newdes...shtml

[Nathan]

Yeah, I saw that...it's similar in acceleration with just a bit of an edge. More proof that that 305 is craptastic. My whole point was just that you made a bit too much of a blanket statement, some Camaros (especially modified) can hold their own in handling. I didn't mean to start a big argument or anything...this thread is WAY off track now

[TrunkMonkey]

...this thread is WAY off track now

you got that right.

more t04e and less camaro, or else i'll have to close it.
