Doubt it will spool by then. My turbo is smaller than that and spools at 3500 in first gear.

You'll probably be at ~3000-3500 in first gear as well, seems to be a staple on this motor.

Oh well... as all m42 drivers know, the car spends most of it's life above 3000 anyway

At least I know the turbo will work for the application now... shooting for a very modest 180hp to the wheels. But I think that should feel awesome in this car as it's sitting at only 138rwhp now.

I did think about it, but because of my stand-alone megasquirt, I no longer have to.

That's basically what an RRFPR does. If I understand the question right that is.

Booster works fine. No worries about your english, I'm happy to help.

Thanks so much for your help! maybe when i will become enough crazy (think quite soon:D) i will start to make a turbo header myself!

Just a thought you can not gauge how quick your turbo spools by doing a pull in 1st gear there isnt enough load on the engine. if you want to see how quick it spools you should do a pull in 3rd or 4th from 2500rpm or less and then you will be able to get an accurate reading.

Oh ok.

Will do.

danny how do you think a T3 is? my friend got 2 in his garage, they were in a '90 audi 1.9 tdi, so i think with the smallest compressor, do you think it is too much big or should work?

Danny707 · « **Reply #231 on:** March 29, 2009, 06:59:05 PM »

Go for it.

Should be alright.

thanks danny, i'll get it for 50 euro, it seems in good conditions... however is a strange T3, it has a wastegate bolt on on the turbine, it's of an old golf 1.6 TD... now i will start building the manifold!

how's about your car?

Dyno sheets.

The lighter is my shitty tune.

Final numbers were 166/166 at the wheels. Puts around 191 to the crank.

How much PSI?

Danny707 · « **Reply #235 on:** April 24, 2009, 12:19:33 AM »

Seven.

ludiagsm · « **Reply #236 on:** April 24, 2009, 02:26:29 AM »

you have to do more work , that power is very low for turbochargered m42

Danny707 · « **Reply #237 on:** April 24, 2009, 11:43:34 PM »

Yes I know, its a daily driver.

I have a fairly restrictive exhaust and intercooler on it right now, also only running 7 psi as mentioned.

Danny707 · « **Reply #238 on:** April 25, 2009, 12:00:39 AM »

Also, Comp tested today, #1: 225 #2: 220 #3: 215 #4: 225

With 5-7% leak down!

ludiagsm · « **Reply #239 on:** April 25, 2009, 08:10:47 AM »

the compresiion is not the reason try to tune your afr ratios in boost to be 11,5-12 ,after that try with ignition advance +- and see what happen . That turbocharger is very smol but you must have 220+hp
