Doubt it. It only was that low cause I run out of pump.  You just peanut butter and jealous cause I got the best tuner.

15psi just isn't enough to make 400rwkw on 98 on a Barra (on a chassis dyno)

 

480 is also higher than anything I've ever seen out of a non-modified and non-replaced turbo on a Barra.

As I said, just because it's on a dyno sheet doesn't mean that the dyno wasn't set to make higher power (and your sheet is 100% from a hub dyno, it even says it on the sheet). Plus, saying "I have the tuner with the only billet block" means basically nothing as buying a billet block just requires enough money and inclination to spend enough money, not necessarily a thing that says "oh, my tuner can extract more power than anybody has ever done out of a un-modified GT3582R on a Barra"...

This is true. Besides Nizpro, my tuner has the most R& D in AUS.  And I didnt say the turbo wasn't un - modified, just that it is factory.  With stock compressor and turbine wheels. 

 

Keith, your car doesnt even run.  You just cant see outside the box. Its not all what you see on forums. Go talk to some high end tuners and you will understand the differences.

haha you're just big-noting yourself with no relevance to this thread due to your "higher figures"...

 

so you're saying your turbo isn't un-modified... so it has a 0.7 A/R front cover? that explains a lot.

 

and yes, my car runs... one of them doesn't, but who cares? it's not about me.

 

R&D doesn't magically make extra horsepower from the same turbo and boost level and engine setup.

Both my cars run factory compressor housings.

 

Of course R & D makes extra power. . What do you mean by engine set up... Do you think you make 400 with 15Psi with a factory head.....

He has the fastest factory-not-factory turbo to not go 250kmh

 

:stirthepot:

 

Edit

Arronm if someone is asking what power a factory turbo makes, you can guarantee they're interested in potential that doesn't required a modified head ffs

that's what I'm saying, with the same engine as everybody else (e.g. mostly stock, allowing for valve springs, head studs and oil pump gears) without actually doing a bunch of porting etc, then yes, that's what most people have and that's what I'm talking about with regard to figures in this thread (and any other unless other specific unusual modification paths have already been advised to have been taken). If you're going to quote unusual figures, then you should advise you've done other mods that are less travelled pathways.

OP wants 400. He doesnt need to change the turbo. Just have a good port job and large flapper.
