Turbo Adapter: How much power are you making with one?

[DTMbimmer07]

Ive been thinking about doing the turbo adapter from revshift for a while but i've been wondering if it will flow enough for my goals(400whp+) with my Gt35R(motor specs: Seta motor with Schrick 288 cam, VAC springs and retainers, HD rockers, nuke cam gear, eagle forged rods, mls head gasket 0.070 and arp everything besides main bolts).

What i really want to know is how much power are you guys making with these and what set up are y'all running.

A buddy of mine here (bobross) is making 440whp on a adapter.

Would u happen to know what turbo he is running and where he's getting full spool by?

He's running an hx35...not sure about spool time but this might help...

I'm not sure if it'll handle 400whp without cracking with your aggressive cam and other stuff, but anyway don't think about late spool since you have that cam!

My buddy was running an adapter and I think same as your turbo with .63 A/R, it was spool full boost at 3500rpm with the adapter, with full manifold it spools full boost at 3000rpm and better flow, no cam, nothing..

Intresting. It should be able to handle it just finished reading threw bobross's thread and hes making 4xxhp and 38xtq. My turbo is a .82 a/r though so might be a little later or maybe not cause of the cam.

Anyone else have any input?

bumping it

also depends on your ignition timing. running it really retarded will spool sooner but you wont have the power.

[DTMbimmer07]

trying to keep the spool time low and still have the power.

[euro2fast4u]

spool time is going to be a difference of like 500-700 rpms, you wont even notice it when your driving to be honest.

first tune i did i got 10psi at 1800 rpms.
my current tune its like 15psi at like 3700 much more power though

[DTMbimmer07]

and this is on an adapter? what turbo are u running?

[euro2fast4u]

nope dan pinder manifold. im running a t4 garret

[DTMbimmer07]

do u have pictures of ur manifold? havent heard of it before. how much did u pay for it?

[e30leigh]

id be interested as well as to what manifold you have. there isnt meny decently made full manifolds out there with wastegate ports. all the ones i have seen are rubbish.
