What if...............

[kjpcummins]

A 2.6 turbo with nitrous will make an unlimited amount of horsepower. Dual gates wide open + 4 kits, I bet you could make 1800-2000hp. Be careful what you ask for.

A 2.6 turbo can do that fuel only.

With enough correction factor I'm sure it could

And the right engine dyno / operator with tinkerbell sprinkling pixie dust into the inlet.....

Correct!

 

[YoungDiesel27]

Depends what you call 2.6", just ask the full pull productions guys.

 

[jlibert]

The only true way to level the playing field is with traction. Nobody would have to do anything more than buy a set of tires.

Didn't we establish about 14 pages ago that box turbos will be run? not custom 2.6 puller garb.

Smartest thing you're said yet!

What safety parts would be required?

Cage? U-joint shields and driveshaft hoops? Engine diaper?

A cage will be needed for the speed we are running. Chassis needs to meet all safety specs.

Im sure all the normal NHRA rules will apply.

Cone on, give the 6k guys a bit more to work with than a box 2.6!! That'll be like watching paint dry now a days!!

I think 2.6, water only, 1/8th mile, and street tires would be fun for the 6k class.

Aren't you running like a s475 now?

Me? I have a 467 but in the process of rebuilding/upgraging everything. My Bruce Jenner had metal all up in it.

No correction factor. Just shows some don't understand what can be done to these turbos if rules aren't wrote correctly.

 

[Smokem]

The standard S467 is technically 2.66" and also in factory form has the hose discharge cover that was decided to be non desirable. The most common sense answer is to use Borg Warner 177248 which also has the same 0.63AR v-band discharge compressor housing as discussed earlier. This would be a 2.8" turbocharger and nitrous should not be allowed, only water injection.

Ahhh nothing like a good loophole to get the gold!

Truth to this one being a straight cheap easy plug and play option that'd suit the field on both power and ease of access from a cost standpoint that's draw more people into the mix. It's what like a $1000 for one, hell I bought a new one for $875 from a dealer couple years back. Good unit, good power, I hated it in my application at the time, but came to find out I had a leaking intercooler boot and was still making over 50psi.

Is it just available as an 83mm or is the 87 an option?

I am sure your friend Google can answer your question.
