Hello. Like it says. I am running the 4.4/level 9 all the time. Why would this make a stock turbo hard on my motor? Is it true my motor would be happier with a 62/14?

Thanx.

 

Drive pressure you are exceeding the limits of the stock turbo by oooh a mile!!! The 62/14 will exhale a lot better...

 

Thanx Shane. Does the smaller turbo not let the exhaust waste get out past the turbo fast enough?

 

The stock turbo is about a 9 cm housing. Even with the wastegate, it won't compare to a 14 cm housing with a wastegate. The exhaust pinwheel on the 62/14 is bigger also. This will allow for better flow and control the exhaust pressure better.

 

read my signiture, my new silver 62 made a huge difference along with an ats exhaust manifold and arc flow. i installed a fass at the same time so i dont know how much each mod made a difference but i have quicker spool up it seams to me. made the exhaust a much deeper tone also

 

Took the words out of my mouth!!!

 

Now I will sound really stupid. So the passage from on the exhaust side of the turbo, that does the spinning of the whole shaft, has more volume?

Thanx guys. I am still learning on these babies.

 

Yep, the bigger housing lets the exhaust escape easier, which lowers the drive pressure between the motor and the turbo. The only poblem is with a larger exhaust housing, the exhaust is moving slower as it passes by the turbine, this makes for a slower spool up.

 

That was quality info for my current state of turbo knowledge. Thanx.

 

You are putting 50 - 70 plus hp up in smoke right now with your stocker.

Go bigger!

 

Nuf said!!!!

 

50-70 hp associated with just a turbo? Would that be applicable to the mods in my sig if i were to add a 62/13 (and a fuel pump)?

Trying to decide on a turbo vs. lorenz susp....50-70 hp tilts me toward turbo....so just want to confirm.

 

That would be cool if smoke went down a tad.

 

It will.... you will be moving more air. On the bottom end, it might have a little more. The mid-range and top-end will have less.
