Sorry to hear about your off- at least it has spurred on another turbo vtec evolution!

Rob, I can top trump your with 40'000 bhp shaft power on some of the large gas turbines I play with :D
Work with a lot of MTU / Volvo stuff too, with lots of cylinders! We normally have about 40MW propulsion units, I think that is about 55,000bhp ish, but we generate upwards of 70MW for the whole ship. Usually V16/V14/V12s, run on heavy fuel oil, and just a PITA! |

That's a different decision of cat but yes the company does make them,
The factory I work for makes 4&6 cylinder propulsion diesel engines and the well know Perkins marine brand we are currently developing a 6.4L V8 sports boat propulsion engine tho with 500hp and 1200ftlb of torque and the flywheel :) That is a awful lot of torque!! The gearbox must be made of something pretty special, haha! |
On topic, this project looks awesome, the compressor blading in that turbo is really interesting, it looks like the pitch/shape of the blade changes from root to tip??
Do you know what the drilled holes around the inlet to the compressor is all about? Good luck! Graham |
Good luck with the build mate, but by the sound of things you need HPDE or suspension mods. If you can't handle 190rwhp how are you gonna cope with 500whp :eek:
Should be fun mind :thumbup: |
Plenty of things planned in terms of suspension to keep the car planted to the road. As I said in my first post I was stupid for pushing the car in those conditions. I dont imagine any amount of training would have helped me to control what happened, in fact had I not reacted as quickly as I did I'm sure the car could have been in much worse shape. I was just simply pushing the car up to speed to quickly. I'm normally very cautious in the wet.
The turbo I have features a machined billet wheel which really is a work of art and very very light. This aids spool as does the porting around the wheel which aids gas draw through. |
The ported holes on the housing are for anti surge
Is it journal, ceramic bearing, is it a sc61 or similar |
Its a V-band housing Journal bearing turbo. Precision 6262 .82ar with 3 inch inlet and outlet.
|
Are you going for a custom setup? That turbo might struggle to get 500whp will do 500 bhp just if I recall. At the end of the day it's Dependant on the setup etc
Good luck look forward to seeing it |
Hey Phil, yes I'm looking at a full custom set up with a 100% equal length top mount turbo manifold. 500whp should be achieveable at 13-15 psi if our calculations are correct. If its a bit less I wont loose any sleep as the response is probably a little more important too me than flat out power. We'll see how it goes.
