New Turbo!!! - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

herostar · 08-30-2004, 11:30 AM

well everyone... I just bought a new turbo for my ride (95 Eclipse GSX 5-speed).
http://www.slowboyracing.com/Garrett...BR-G-60-1.html

That's it. It's a T3/T4 hybrid using a 60-1 Compressor. It flows 60 lb/min of air and is good for mid-upper 500hp range. I should be able to spool 24psi of boost by 3600-3700rpm on my 2.4L stroker motor. I'm just excited so I thought I'd share, thanks for listening.

herostar · 08-30-2004, 01:31 PM

That is badass, quite a turbo, for sure.

TM875 · 08-30-2004, 02:31 PM

That's A LOT of boost for an Eclipse. Good luck with that.

What sort of bottom end reinforcement do you have to handle 24psi? also, what boost controller are you using?

herostar · 08-30-2004, 07:23 PM

I've got JE pistons, crower rods, and a 2.3L stroker crank, block is bored .040 over, and I'm using a manual boost controller as of right now. I'm running a datalogger and an safc II, and 720cc injectors fed by a 255lph pump. Everything is ported, and it's got a 4 layer metal head gasket. Compression is 8.5:1.

herostar that combo sounds pretty good. Do you have any timeslips?

herostar · 08-30-2004, 09:16 PM

not yet, I had the car together for 242 miles b4 my brand new clutch went out... I"m in the middle of fixing it and a big waranty battle w/ ACT. I'll have some in a month or so... I"m looking at between 450 and 500 whp, so the timeslips will be about mid 11 second at around 122 (+-6mph).
