2.6 smooth bore turbo... what’s the best to buy
 

As the title says.. who makes the best smooth bore chargers any input would be great. I don’t want to just buy something that’s over priced and not worth it..

Harts or Jeb .. none are cheap

Those seem to be the 2 common names. I know none are cheep just wanted to go in the right direction the first time

Oh how I wish James Barder was still doing turbos....... *bdh*

Nick Stamm @ nicks diesel and tuning has a nice one.

I'm finishing up on a single CP3 that will MAKE 1400+ and run 5000RPMs and yes , NOT blow up. I need to just finish some in House VOLUME/RPM tests and send it to Nick. He's going to test it on all his Turbo's Single / Multi.

I’ve never heard of Nick before. I’ll have to give him a call and see what he has to offer.

He been pulling for some time. 419 572-0674

Your making a 2.6 smooth bore turbo that will make 1400+hp?

I misread that post I get it now a CP3

Call Fair valley perfomance. 608-643-0200 ext 2 Dennis or drew will get you set up

Yep CP3 ...It produces way more fuel than 1400HP but Injectors play a big part in HP in the R/T rates so we are working with our Sources for COMP Injectors.. Its not the combustion fuel side its the R/T side that's Killing the HP HPCR.

instead of buying something twice i would do it the smart way and just buy a harts to begin with

You can't go wrong with harts

Ended up going with jeb it was a hard choice between them but Eric actually called me back.. must have took me 5 calls or better to get someone on the phone at Hart’s. I’ve heard great about both.

Hey what happened with james? Real good guy to do business with.

Gave up the turbo building, he's doing plumbing with his dad now as far as I know. Still a real good guy, always says hello.

On the setup we tested 7 chargers with. Harts was a solid 25hp ahead of the rest, although I do not believe it'll be as reliable as a couple others. I would like to see what the DPE unit does.

i never seen a dpe turbo personally

Performance Engineering 715-384-4422. We dynoed them against Harts, Jeb, you name it. Good turbo and good pricing.
