![]() New user Posts: 20 Location: glasgow | Tremendous build!, just stumbled on this courtesy of a link drew posted on another forum ![]() one wee thing, i think one of your radiator fans is the wrong way around.. ![]() Access_denied - 10/2/2011 12:38 PM But at 3.5krpm and 15psi both engines will be the same or the small turbo will be better due to spooling faster, same container volume same pressure so you will only yeild more power by going for more revs which is engine N/A or turbo 101. Making more power with higher revs always needs a bigger turbo so saying a bigger turbo gives more power because it gives more air at a lower boost is rubbish, it gives more air at higher rpms at lower boost or the same air at the same rpms and the same boost. thats a bit nieve mate. a bigger turbo will allow an engine to make more power at the same boost at the same rpm level, this is because the turbine is free-er flowing, and more efficient on boost at turning exhaust gas energy into mechanical energy to power the compressor. the more efficient you extract power from the exhaust, the more free flowing the exhaust becomes, the better cylinder filling becomes, the better the VE of the engine becomes, and so you have a thripple whammy affect, more charge in the cylinders, less spent exaust gasses in the cylinders (promiting detonation allowing for a more aggressive tune) and a better flowing exhaust. All of which increase power without increasing boost. I have tried 3 different sizes of turbine on my k, and the affect is noticeable. The obvious trade off is the boost threshold moves further up the rpm band which isnt so good for a street car, but a non issue for a race car. | ||

Yeah but it wont give the same boost at the same revs until your using more revs so its a simple trade off. More power at the same boost or the same power with less boost (as long as turbo is spooled at the rev you want it) but not more air less boost. Edited by Access_denied 14/5/2011 2:58 PM | ||

Veteran Posts: 444 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Access_denied - 14/5/2011 7:37 PM Yeah but it wont give the same boost at the same revs it can, depends where you are. a lot of turbos can get 15psi boost at 3.5k revs. even the same size compressor with a larger turbine a/r would give more power at that level. as Evo said the trade off is the boost threshold which moves further up the rpm band.

Expert Posts: 2004 ![]() Location: Chepstow | Do you think the coil springs are worth doing? much improvement in handling? I guess there is quite a bit of weight to be saved doing the conversion | ||
