The perfect ar for a klze?
hmm getting into this turbo business a bit deeper... now that its super easy to make ebay turbos work(ill post pics later about how its done)
ok so the turbo I had had a cold side ar .60 and hot side had an ar .53 that turbo ran greatr, boosted around 2700 all the way to 6000.
Ok so i came across some money and since that turbo had a bit of play i decided to buy another ebay turbo.. well
the housing in my pipes is for the ar.53 so I had to use my old hot side and the cold side now i have an ar.50 It sure makes the blow off valve sould likie crazy and builds nice boost all the way to 6k rpms. This one dies out a bit at around 6k but can still go.
Anywho.. what ars are you running for your boosted kl engines??

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Re: The perfect ar for a klze?
hec youd probably want a .63ar or larger in order to allow that ZE to breathe.

Re: The perfect ar for a klze?
Ok I already ordered the 4 bolt ar.63 exhaust housing for a new turbine that I have, I noticed today that my current set up runs out of breath at around 5000 rpms.
so i will be hot side ar .63 and cold ar .50
is that ok? thats what the turbo came like

Re: The perfect ar for a klze?
That's what you had before, right? (First turbo?)
Should be able to make modest power with that. You could always step up to the .7/.63 next for some bigger power lol. Ya, .48/.6 seems a little small for a ze, might be better for a k8.
