Very large turbo for just 130 ft-lbs of torque? Our definition of size is very different.
ok you are right. not very large is needed to ad 130 more. but a very large would certainly get the job done. for example, the greddy kit uses a small but decent size tubo and only puts out another 62 ft-lbs more torque. and if we look at sc bolt-on kits. kraftwerks high boost kit puts out only 78 more.

you wouldn't need a giant propane spooled turbo, but to get 130 more torque, you're going to need a big one.

If you don't mind moving your powerband to the left, you can pick up LOTS of torque with a "smaller" turbo. Big turbos on a small motor and centrifugal blowers aren't known for being torque monsters.

seriously? are we really here to discuss power bands and FI? i think we are missing the point and getting off topic. LOL

When someone can explain this too me like I'm a five year old. Then you are qualified to explain torque. Not trying to be that guy. Sorry...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque#Torque_multiplier
you know, i was going to try to explain the link you posted. BUT... if you can't even comprehend that, i cant go full retard for you to understand. I know that is offensive, but seriously... go buy your dumb stage 2 clutch with a 6 puck disc and then come back and tell us how it drives. it seriously ADDS ZERO TORQUE!!!!!!!! we want to help you, or at least, i want to help you. let me help you. there will be no benefit in adding a stage 2 clutch. if you are still in school, please go take some physics. any physics, will give you some basic knowledge.

Yes, yes we are. Topic is senseless due to the absurd nature of a clutch giving a motor/driveline more power. It is aparent that the OP can benefit from something factual.

ok i suppose. how would you go about adding 130 more torque? specifically. one does not simply move the power band. the op talking about doing something minor to add major power. so if it were a simple "kit" what would you add. true a big turbo on a small engine would cause an insane amount of lag.

Everyone uses big turbos on these cars. A smaller turbo that will spool at a lower RPM will result in a great deal of low to midrange torque. I know, that given the nature of the car, people like to have top end power.

even with a small turbo like the greddy kit, it still doesn't supply that much more torque.

remember, we are trying to add 80% more torque.

What size turbo and how much boost? It is relative, of course.

I don't build boost setups by a kit. I spec it for my needs and purchase parts I know will achieve what im looking for.


When building a good boost setup, 80% more power/torque over stock is not a huge feat.
