Turbo queston

[papa roached]

i know nothing about turbo stats or compressor maps, would this turbo be enough to push 5-6 PSI on a KL-ZE?

T Bird T3, 63/60 ar

if you can get the compressor map for us it would be nice so we don't have to search for it

no, that turbo is way small for a 2.5 our engines need right around 31 lbs/min @ 6500 rpm. the pressure ratio for 8 psi is 1.544. on the compressor map on turbonetis website look at the t3 60 trim. the point where the two lines cross would be way off the chart to the left. thats not a good place to be so that turbo would run out of air really early in our rpm range. get the turbo and bolt on a t4 compressor section on it. so be careful on your turbo choice's

oh yeah the pressure ratio for 5 psi is 1.34 and 6 psi is 1.40 and thats still off the chart. to get the pressure ratio just take 14.7 (atmosphereic pressure) and add the psi you want to run and divide that # by 14.7 and thats the pressure ratio. 14.7+6=20.7 then divide the 20.7 by 14.7 and you get 1.408 thats the pressure ratio.
