Not enough Turbo??

815 Views 8 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  EJ257
Cracked a ringland, suprise suprise. Planning on having a stage 2 block built and at the moment im running a Blouch 20g-xtr (Rated @ 440hp) with 8500mi on it. Gunna shoot for around 400hp with the build. With that being said will that be pushing the turbo to hard?

Out of pure curiosity, did you have a pro tune on this? (I assume yes because of the 2 differences in modes)

and how many miles is on the car?
400hp, or 400whp? If whp, what fuel and what dyno?
Id like 400 to the wheels on 93. It was Protuned on a Mustang. I believe the the shop building it has a DynoJet

Looks like I was a little off on the current numbers...

Not gonna happen.. you would probably get close on e85, but not on 93 unless it's a really high reading dyno. Not sure what you mean by pushing the turbo "too hard".. it simply can't move enough air to make that kind of power.

You have a larger turbine wheel than the traditional "20G" turbos, and the better compressor wheel, but I still don't think it's going to be enough for 400whp on pump fuel. 20G turbos were always a "350whp" setup, give or take. I'm not sure how much of a limitation your stock block was on your ~365whp tune; I'd expect in the 370-380whp range for that turbo on 93. The BEST estimate for what you will likely see on that setup is going to come from the person calibrating the vehicle; they know their dyno and how the parts used typically react.

I didn't tune your car, so you'll need to consult the previous tuner, but I'm guessing that charge cooling (TMIC) was your main limiting factor last time. If you need to stay TMIC for some reason (e.g., you don't want to delete/replace your OE front crash beam), you can look into water/meth injection or E85, both of which in addition to adding octane (which allows you to run a more aggressive calibration alone), offer the side benefit of chemical intercooling as well.
