I see what your saying but. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratter Member 6,793 Member For: 18y 7m 9d Gender: Male Location: @ my laptop Posted 15/05/11 09:42 AM Share Posted 15/05/11 09:42 AM I prefer the smaller turbo of the fg XR6T for a street car, they drive so much better, But I guess if you want dyno figures or chasing quick 1/4 times you need more power so will require a larger turbo, but you will loose power down low, The small turbo can push one of these cars into the 11's full weight,Work out what you want from the car and go from there.

F6mark's car for example, is making 322rwkw at 15psi with a totally stock zorst - including cat. An F6 obviously, so bigger turbo, however the car has only had a cooler swap and tune. It will make more and do it easier with a better exhaust - then his injectors will be maxed, it will need a flapper mod and on it goes. So again it gets back to proper planning and knowing where you want to pull it up. Together with my tuner, I've made a decision to do nothing with the zorst. For me, never planning to upgrade the turbo, I don't see the benefit for my level of tune but of course I respect where Ratter is coming from.

Adam Here since the start...

Sure it costs a little more, but would you rather save a few dollars while adding unnecessary stress to the engine and turbo or spend a little more and make your target with ease?

People do seem to dismiss the little turbo without thinking about the lovely bottom end they lose by going bigger. The lag some of these dyno queens have is rediculous - they would be ordinary to drive on the street. Edited 15/05/11 10:22 AM by bomber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
