Pictures of my XS Engineering 500 hp turbo - ClubWRX Forum - Subaru Impreza WRX and STi Community and Forums

I had my XS500 turbo off the STi this weekend, to clock it a little bit so it would clear the throttle connector a little better. I took a bunch of pictures and tried to make an estimate of the turbine nozzle area. Here they are. This turbo is basicly a GT3037-10 garrett, in a bolt on configuration with a custom cast turbine housing. It is also the exact same thing as an AVO500, and is made by avo.

This is vs. a stock wrx TD04:

Here's a couple measurement's of the compressor cover inlet. It is a T04E cover machined down to a 60mm OD inlet, from 2.75". The ID measures about 53mm, I couldn't get all the way in there with my dinky calipers. Notice the dual bladed garrett GT compressor wheel.

Here's a pic of the turbine inlet.

Here's a pic of a peice of paper I cut to fit the nozzle area. the Wastegate is right on the nozzle, and the paper extends into the wastehole a little bit, but it's not much at all.

Here's that peice of paper compared to a paper circle 3.2 mm in diameter, or 8 cm^2, the size of a large mitsu housing. Seemingly this turbo has a nozzle area in the range of 9-10 cm^2. That is very large.

Here's a dyno plot of my car running the turbo, at low boost, on the stock ecu and fuel, catless turboback and AVO inake pipe, Joe P MBC. Notice how it makes full power all the way to redline? With all the supporting mods, this turbo can support about 22 psi of boost at redline on the 2.5.

Red Rocket · 10-08-2003, 08:59 AM

And the A/F and boost.
