Silvr's new setup...

SilvrEclipse · #1 02-03-2009, 01:00 PM

Ok guys some changes have been made to my turbo setup. The old turbo manifold kept cracking and warping and I couldn't get rid of the leaks so
I junked that one and went back to the stock 420a manifold. This manifold flows a lot better than the crappy log mani and I will be able to use the stock heat shield. Anyways I built an adapter to mount the turbo to this one and fabbed up the exhaust this past weekend. Took me 2.5 days to complete this mainly because I spent almost 2 days welding the downpipe. I would post some pics but right now I have to replace a bad gasket and get the intake back on so it looks like ass right now. Going to fix all that this weekend.

Now for the "secret" I have been keeping from everyone, here it is. My buddy is planning on turboing his beamer soon. Well due to some setbacks its going to take longer than expected so Im getting to test out the turbo he bought for it. Its a TD06 20g, I was wanted to have it on in the next week or so but still have to make the adapter plate for it so it may be a month before its on the car. Its going to spool a little slower but from what I have read it shouldn't be to bad. We will just have to see, anyways enough talk here is some pics...

Inlet on the 20g is 2.25" : S16g is 2" but tapers down to around 1.8"

Damn that thing is nice. I can only imagine what traction will be like when fully spooled.

I got a lot more tax money back that I expected so Im going to be getting some track times with it soon. Im kinda bummed that I didn't get to push the 16g past 18psi at the track. It had a lot more in it when you crank up the boost. Hoping to hit 12s with this turbo, maybe low 12s if I can get some slicks this summer. Going to try and dyno around 400whp with it also this summer. It would be way to crazy to drive everyday like that but I would my setup to be capable of it.

Huge difference. You could probably get into 12's, but low twelves.....thats tough. Gotta get some vids though. Also, what car did mitsu produce that ran that turbo?, or maybe I should say that housing?

SilvrEclipse · #5 02-03-2009, 02:39 PM

I have no idea what car this turbo came from. Several people have run into the mid to low 11s on a 420a with a 20g at around 25psi. With slicks of course

very nice is that a t3 hotside inlet? I am surprised you decided to upgrade so soon but why not I suppose the stars alligned

What do yo uthink the max you can push on pump will be thats the next limit there.

SilvrEclipse · #7 02-03-2009, 03:16 PM

Yea its a t3 hotside. I wasn't planning on upgrading till the summer at least but this was free so why not put it on. I need bigger injectors before I crank the boost up to high but Im hoping over 400whp on pump. It may not work out I dont really know yet.

Wow thats suprising. Im just not a very optimistic person

SilvrEclipse · #9 02-04-2009, 11:30 AM

Since the 20g will not be on the car for a month or so Im going to make another trip to the track with the s16g. Cranking the boost to about 24psi, hoping to trap 110 in the 1/4 and low 13s at the very least. If I can get a really good launch maybe break into the 12s. Im going to try launching in 2nd gear off the line. I have done this a few times on the street and I still get some wheel spin but no near as much. This would also save time on the 1-2nd shift. Looking at the last logs from the track my average shift from 1-2nd was around .45s which is a lot of time right off the line.

Silly Garret flanges, I was kinda tired when I first read this thread and was confused as hell about the T3 flange on a MHI 20g, then it dawned on me that you can just swap them out.

I'm kind of excited to see what you guys can do! I'm especially interested in how you and Dave do with MS, stand alones are something I kinda want to know more about.

Huh?

Oh, look at that cute little turbo...

I have been running MS for fuel and spark since July. Car runs awesome still. You have to understand that its not the factory ECU and the car will sometimes shutter at low rpms and stuff like that but its no big deal really.

Me too. It will be a while, but I'm ready to get my hands on LINK.

steviek · #14 02-04-2009, 10:40 PM

Link isn't technically a standalone but I know what you mean

david-b · #15 02-04-2009, 10:42 PM

Ya I'm looking forward to working with MSnS. Will I become a pro... no, but I want to have some fun with it.
