1600 EFI Turbo Build

[Clonebug]

I never dynoed my 1600 but it never seemed to drop off at 4500. It seemed to keep on pulling and my 1679 definitely will go beyond 5200 if I let it.

My estimate of your hp was pretty close to what you got.....

[MarioVelotta]

It would keep going I'm sure, but when the numbers are going down I didn't need to push it.

[Steve Arndt]

It sure sounds good.

That's not too shabby; roughly 112 hp @ the flywheel.

Try a T25, that'll fatten your TQ curve.

Originally we planned on a T25 for it but a T3 is more cost effective and for a brouder range of customers. Looks like we may have to build a special little T25 for it in the future.

[miniman82]

What's the spec on this turbo? Perhaps a T3 could still work, using the smallest hot side parts: .36 turbine, small wheel, ect.

[shag55]

Stg1 .36 a/r and 50trim

Have you like looked at the Garrett gt1548 or the gt2052(1) for this build? The flow map for that t3 seems too much for it.

[MarioVelotta]

It was picked for the ease of using it on a larger motor as well. I just thought it might work a little better on this little guy than it did

[Corysvdub]

Oh, I see. That turbos flow map would work on something larger a 1776. You don't want to do turbo options on these proposed kits?

[shag55]

I think it has more to do with available headers. There is no 1 3/8" with a T25 flange available. A custom one would add largely to the cost.

Yeah that was a major consideration. It would be great for a larger package. I just don't have anything like that here to test it with.

Since I pulled the turbo stuff off. I was ready to try some ITB's

Why did you pull the turbo off?
