Do you know at what revs you get your specs?
Down here in durban my CA18DET with Big FMI and 76mm pipe is making 161.7KW @Fly And 285 NM Torque @Fly.
Ideal Turbo Size
Yeah they revved it up to 7000rpm. And i am running on 0.8 Bar Boost.
Sorry, On what RPM do you read your 285Nm?
Hey Peeps!
Just to educate PPL on turbos, esspesially on the "Danville" T3/T4!
Turbo's come in all different shape and sizes! Now there is misconception about the T3/T4! There is quite allot of companies that sell the "Danville" turbo now, which is around 3K-4K, which is usually a A/R 63 T3 exhaust housing with a Dash 2 T4 Turbine, Dash 25 compressor wheels in a A/R 60 T4 compressor(360 trust for higher boost). Now this is not a bad turbo for say a 2L, but not ideal! There is a sh!t load of turbo parts out there to build a turbo and I built a turbo to what I need! For a CA18DET, I would recommend a A/R 48 T3 exhaust with a Dash 2 or 3 T3 high speed turbine shaft, Dash 25 compressor in a A/R 60 T4 Compressor housing(360 Trust). We built this turbo for a SR20 and spoolup starts at around 2200rpm and say 1bar of boost is around 3300-3500, which is not far of say an Tb2808 turbo of a GTi-R, which is on 1bar at around 3000-3200! But the GTi-R turbo will start to fall of at around 5600-6000rpms, which the "Danville" T3/T4 will make past 7500rpms! A turbo like this will give u best of both worlds, low lag and top rpm power! Or buy a 10 grand ball bearing turbo if u have the cash! If u don't have the cash, this turbo will be a third of the price!
Don't just go and buy a turbo!! Build a turbo to u'r needs! There are PPL out there that will help u!
Phone Engine parts in joburg and speak to Marius or phone Chris at Stallion turbos in PTA. They will be able 2 build these specific turbos for u!
L8r 🙂
fokkit nad!!!
you've always amazed me with your turbo knowledge! well said! 😮 :!:
(there's no thumbsup smiley 😉)
It's been a while hearing someone use the "dash" word on turbine and comp wheels. It actually sounds good to know it's still being used. I think some of the new generation don't always understand it. LOL.
That combo is exactly what I used on my 16v toyota engine. A/R60 comp housing, "dash 25" comp wheel, Dash 2 wheel(O-trim) with a .48 T3 housing. But this was like uhmmm, 1998, Glad to see it's still a recommended combo.
