Curious to know if a smaller charger on your set up will provide for a lower operating RPM.
Edit: I know you know much more than I do about this, but I am very interested in this setup. Almost have my dad convinced to let me build this for him. PM me if you'd like to carry this on elsewhere without all the BS. |
Oh no I must have misunderstood. Turbos light immediately but to try and make it live with aluminum pistons he doesn’t lug it. This is a stock aftercooled engine and neither water or egt’s get high which completely surprises me since the radiator is rotten. Just using this engine as a test bed before the replacement goes in. Could probably run the 1.65 housing on the manifold to lower boost and still not affect turbo lag. Gotta love 14:1.
