supraspeed Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Ok i suspect my current turbo is a T60 or something simular (pushing around 450bhp) and thinking about replacing it once i get my 6spd gearbox put in. i will find out what my turbo is once i get the time to have a good look as theres lots of piping in the way covering everything. When swapping a turbo what exactly needs to be done. is it a lot of work and changing pipe work around. what would be a sensible turbo to get so i can use it every day with fast..ish spool. i mean 450bhp is quick but started to get a bit used to it after a while. maybe 500bhp or is that asking a bit too much?

RobSheffield Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 What sort of internal engine work has been done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraspeed Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 only injectors as far as i know for the engine but havent looked in detail yet. on my to do list. if i start needing forged pistons and rods i might leave it a while but i thought that was the kind of thing you only have when running on big power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 whys that? engine torque or something? No.You need lower than stock NA compression ratio to stave off detonation at higher boost pressure. You are unlikely to get 500 bhp on the GE with high CR.
