How Much Boost?

[Room42]

Bed time now. I'll repost when there's a bunch of parts sitting on front of me.

[ARTZ]

I have read a few threads but most realize what a waste of time it is and find better things to do like attach a big single or go to the pub..

i dont think anyones saying dont do it, I'm sure we would all love to see results no matter how bad they may be..

If you got nothing better to do then knock yourself out but while your saying it wont cost anything your talking of building a stroker 3lt, Im pretty sure that will cost something and the most power i think you would make is a laggy 500-600hp at the absolute max if the turbos dont blow up first which most people think they will.. thats alot of f**kin around for the result when you could simply buy a Big single like mafia said which is proven to make over 500hp on a stock 2.5, you could have it up and running in a weekend if your good unlike this monster of a project which will take you so long that Im betting you give up on it before it ever gets finished because you realize how much effort it takes just to be lame..Im sure over the next few months we will get excuses like my missus had a baby and I smashed the car and I dropped a turbo on my babies head blah blah blah it will never happen..

Anyway GL..I eagerly anticipate your results

[SimonR32]

Prediction:

12psi at 5000rpm

280rwkw

and a whole lot of fail

[045HOW]

ok lets all admit it. now we want to see this happen no matter how fail it ends up aha

can mods please rename thread to "Ceramic Nightmare:in the build"

[wolverine]

^^ I am a yes

I want to see it...

...although it feels like the same reason I like watching Mundine fight.

[Room42]

If it sucks it sucks. I'll only be mildly disappointed if it does. I was kind of thinking 10 to 12 psi each at about 4000 to 4500. Haha... I just asked the missus " What happens if I do this twin turbo setup and it sucks arse"? She says straight up in a no nonsense tone "Buy a bigger turbo". Hey why do people think that a less stressed turbo is more likely to blow?

EDIT: No parts yet.

Ok blokes. Line up your I told ya so's. The twin setup is still going ahead but not with the stock turbo's. After consideration I've decided to use better quality turbo's. Bearing in mind that it will be on the rb25 first then swapping to a relatively stock rb25/30 (7000 rpm max) what are your suggestions for turbo choice? I'll buy new turbo's etc and as this will cost more I'd rather have it work the first time. It should be more suitable for the 25/30 than the 25. Also I have a couple of T3 flanges for the manifold so take that into consideration. Lemme have it

Why must it be twins?

[The Mafia]

to be like everyone else -

He wants to be "different"

lol

[Room42]

It doesn't have to be twins. Just seemed like a good idea cos the stock turbo's are so cheap and I can put it together for stuff all. Also I have the head flange and 2 T3 flanges paid for and arriving soon. I could always suck it up and eat my words and "look like a cock" but like I said its not hard to sort out and I already have most of the bits on the way or at work. I dont care about being different. Read my second sentence again.

[GTSBoy]

Actually, at this point, if you go ahead with brand new twins, you will look like a cock. If you go with twins using Mitsu turbos like I suggested you'll look like less of a cock. If you get a suitably sized single, you'll look smart(er than you have so far).

[Rolls]

Go a GT3076 with an external gate and 0.63 or 0.82 rear housing and external gate depending on what power/response level you are aiming for.

[045HOW]

i say go with the original idea. i wanna see what happens not hear about a normal turbo setup being normal.

boring thread will be boring.

[Hanaldo]

Yeh it's all well and good when it's not you spending the money lol.

[Room42]

Well I have 2 turbo's in the shed. Its just a matter of putting it all together when the flanges arrive. The reason I kinda shied away from the nissan ones is cos they're so old that the chra's will be rooted.

EDIT: The money is basically spent. Only gotta sort out some intake piping.
