Dude, do you realise that around 350HP at the crank???!!! Bugger the turbo, what are you going to do to the motor and gearbox to put that out reliably?

I know that Very Happy
Cool huh!
Considering they are getting 294kw atw in a 4agte ke70 ( zoom issue 71. And they say it is " Easy and Reliable " ) I don't think that asking for 180kw is a lot!
I've got everything else sorted out, I'm just not that good with turbo's so i need one that will give me the power i want just without too much lag.

I've seen a Garrett GT30 put out 185kW from a 4A-G(T)E in a Celica.

Have you seen the guy's on here with the "Performance, reliable, cheap ..., you can only have two of the three" signatures?!!! I'd suggest their "easy and reliable" is backed by a well worn wallet!

For what it's worth, I feel a GT30 on a 4AG may very well produce the figures you quest after, however turbo lag would make it misearable to drive. Why do you want so much power in a car that weighs less than a tonne?

Number one my car actually weighs just over a tone!
And number two I'm not scared to spend the money!

You make it sound as though only people who do things on the cheap come to this site?
I'm building this car for my own reasons, if i wanted to hear i shouldn't do that to my car, I'm sure i can go and visit my mum!!!

Arent you supposed to be a car enthusiast?

SOARER:
Do you know if they experienced much lag? Also, I'm restricted by space a little bit, will it fit in my car?
Is that celica the green one with the yogi plates?

'easy and reliable' in ZOOM generally means "a lot of heartache and a number of girlfriends, about to reposess my house and half the build money wasted on R&D - but it runs sweet now!" Rolling Eyes
most of the dyno figures ZOOM print are oneoffs, eg lets put it up to 18psi for this run only, and then we'll set it back to 10 again for normal use. ZOOM are under the impression that once you have a dyno-printout /timeslip, your car is instantly that fast/powerful all the time.

and asking 180RWkW out of a 1.6L twincam fourpot is a lot to ask. my 1UZFE makes that much, and that 2.5x your engine in capacity with a similar redline. you can generally double the output of a factory engine without breaking it, anything above and beyond that you're looking at cams, pistons, rods etc.
the one that Soarer is talking about (180RWkW) has a fair amount of internal mods.

and 294RWkW out of a 4AGTE? that's approx 400hp at the wheels. that's 520hp out of a 1.6L, or 325hp per litre at the engine approx - or 2.5 times the power per litre output of a V8 supertourer.

there are only 2 engines that can take anywhere near this power on std bottom ends - and i'm talking theoretically here because i'm running on what i've seen the bottom ends put out (still not this much though) - is the 2.7L hilux engine (3RZ-FE) and the 1-2-3UZFE.

serious work will be needed, billet rods, forged pistons, ARP bolts, 20V head, individual throttles, lowlowlow CR (like 7.5:1).

you may produce the numbers, but i bet a stock 4AGZE with a GT25 off the side will beat you in a roll-on - because it will lack any kind of useable power and torque.

that said, if you just want a dyno monster then go for for it. who am i to tell you what you want...!

And just because people are using GT30's on their 4a's it doesnt make it 'good' as such.
Depends on what your after.. Do you want a car that can only go in a straight line?
Or do you want a car that will spool quick, hold to redline and still be able to fang it around corners which is what the mr2 was made for?
T28, or GT2530 are my picks

fatmr2, I'm not knocking your aspiration, but am a little bemused as to why you want that much power? I undestand the figure is acheivable, however personally I feel, as has already been quoted by others, it will not be a streetable package. Having said that, if your intention is for a dyno killer, go for it! Let us know what other mods you have plannned and how you go with the build?!

Like i said, I dont mind spending the money! Money really isnt an issue. I've already got a lot of the parts that i need. Im just looking for a turbo.

Put it this way.....My brother has a suzuki cappuccino which is 660cc, It put's out 104.5kw at the rear wheels, It weighs about 680-700kg.

There is my motivation!

I will spend what it takes to get my car to where it has to be.
I just figure that 180kw atw should be enough. Should it not be then i guess i will have to try again. In the mean time i like sprinta's idea of the t28/ gt2530.

Oh yeah, onejayzed, I thought these forums were here so i didnt spend all my money in r&d Razz and dont worry about the girlfriends, mine bought me a nice intercooler for christmas Very Happy

Thanks for all the help guys Smile

Thanks joshstix! I know the guy who owns that car, Ben. I forgot all about his car. I had the chance to buy his set up last year.
This just proves a lot of you wrong. That car runs standard internals. He's running a gt28 440hp turbo that comes on at 3200rpm. It runs something like 25-30 psi.
So my aim of 180rwkw is easy as. The bar has just been raised i think Smile

Re: Turbo size? Fri, 09 January 2004 06:20 Go to previous messageGo to next message
first thing to consdier if you think you're gonna get 400hp you will need to do this:

New pistons
New rods
New crank
Massive head work
All custom exhaust
all custom intercooler
New box
NEw diff
New clutch
New computer

Weigh it up you're looking at over 15k id think

To get between 4-500hp out of my v8 i need to spend around 12k...and thats out of 5.0L..but with the parts i have it is possible to make more with a blower or turbo, because i built the bottom end tough.

SO 400hp out of 1600cc isnt that easy. Whether or not its late model with a turbo it requires a lot of work. time. and money.

yeah i was talking about fatmr2's example, not his car.

rear wheel -> engine power is always sketchy. most people run off 30%, but i have seen figures as high as 40% (ie stock WRX - although that is 4WD, and most automatics...) and i have seen figures as low as 15% (good gearing, good oil etc).
