Don't know how I missed this thread before, but I'm glad it got bumped...it's been a great read.

Right now I'm in deep contemplation of single turbo for my 2.75L stroker (if you want to call it that).

I took the liberty of finding some dynos from both Joey and Simon's cars early on at lower boost levels. Albeit both on E85, they are both still at around 20 psi. Joey stated that his 8375 was pretty much out of breath on top and I used the dyno that is missing the 24psi midrange in this comparison (for fairness). I assumed his was standard cast wheel and I also found that his was the .91 housing and I saw where Geoff at full race recommended 1.00 for more power. For the money, I just don't think this turbo can be beat for a nice powerband and while Simon has made STUPID big numbers I think on a 2.6L and for $600 US, this is looking like a strong candidate for a pumpgas turbo. Of course I am not taking the EFR 8374 ($$$$$$$) into comparison yet.

Anyway hope this helps put things into perspective for others looking for information. If anyone finds a dyno of a low boost stroker build with the 8375 (cast) or 6266, let me know...I'd love to add them.

Thanks for the post Patrick.

Your right the 83/75 is one of if not the best bang for buck turbo on the market. As you would have seen on my graph it did nose over a bit. My comments in your previous thread were as a comparison to my own results

My new set up improvements consists of

2.9 stroker

Raised compression to 9.1

Cleaned up head

260 cams with 11mm lift with a very aggressive fast opening lobe

Ferrea valve train with duel valve springs to eliminate any possibility of valve float (a much better set up the the previous tomei gear I had, old springs had only 60 pound of seat pressure)

Ceramic coated exhuast side.

This combination will be a large improvement to response, but I'm also looking to really get the most out of this turbo by pushing it past 450rwkw

Fingers crossed

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
