Thread: thoughts on my setup - and power out puts

i am just worried about blowing up the aviner pistons or my b15 tranny

I am going to throw more than that at my stock b13 tranny. The b15 tranny will be fine. If the car is tuned right the pistons will be fine.

dont wry about blowing it up just gives you an excuse to get something better

lol if i blow up a de is going back in the car and calling it a day and then saving for evo

i would try and change that turbo, i assume you got it cheap.

14psi at the gate is fine, the only boost controller you need is the gas pedal

lol my foot will be boost controller, but why do u suggest changing the turbo..?

its a mismatched compressor and turbine combination. I have seen this turbo make 380whp on a rwd setup. Its not as bad as people make it out to be.

with it being a mismatched of compressor and turbine, is there a downside to this. can u give me some more insite on this....? this turbo is only really seen on rwd cars and not on fwd.
I thought it would be different and see how it turns out, but i have had a few ppl tell me to change it for a gt2860r and because the gt2876 specs, of the turbine a/r of .86 and compressor of .70 and boost will start to build around 4k.

I thought it would just be a good turbo cuz i plan to rev to 7500rpm and with the bigger compressor it will help when i am in vvl

that was my reasoning

cheers

I have a gt28rs and I am not going to use it because its too small for what I intend to do. The gt2876r has been around for some time it used to be the gt25/40. I have not seen it on a fwd set up before and I guess that would have to do with the large comp housing not clearing the block with out a custom manifold. Yes this turbo is considered to be laggy but I have not seen this on a vvl car. I would use it if you have it and see what happens. Like I said I have seen it on several rwd sr20's with good results.

like i got the manifold from asp and he said it will clear the block and he sent me pics, i just hope with factory jpipe it will match up to my down pipe. if not more money spent on modifying my downpipe. I will try this turbo and see what happends.
