OK so a few people have told me a r34 turbo is not going to flow much less than a 2530 and the only difference will be that more boost can be run through the 2530.. Can anyone verify this or is the 2530 going to flow considerably more (to justify the price)?

Also, what gains are there with a high flow over a 2530? just the price difference?

Lastly will a remap work on a 2530/highflow or will a SAFC/PFC/wolf3d have to be used (although if a remap's not going to work i can't see a SAFC working)

thanks

Firstly the amount the 2530 will flow compared to the highflow will depend greatly on the stage of highflow you have chosen...

As for management options...don't compare the safc to a remap...a remap when done properly is a full tune equivalent to a tune from a pfc or similar...with timing and fuel maps and the option to run a different afm...a safc will never give you such flexibility...if you have a reputable tuner near you who can do remaps...go for it...they are the best bang for buck...if not...a proper management system like a pfc or similar will be your next choice...

A remap will definitely handle what you want...at a fraction of the price

As for the highflows...yeah...a slide highflow will get you to that power level...as for the difference over a hks2530...its hard to say...for the price and performance of the slide highflow i would be very tempted to go with that...when my hks2535 goes...i'm going to go with a slide highflow too...but if you can get your hands on a decent 2530...it could be worth looking at that too...

its a shame none of these hiflows have compressor maps

this would take away lots of guess work thats for sure

i dont think youll make any useful power past 15psi but good look

at you are doing is driving the compressor faster by increasing pressure

the gate opens later, pressure is higher, air temp is higher and turbine spins faster

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
