I run a Turbonetics T66 (not ball bearing)

I made 410 rwhp 311 tq at 16 psi on what my tuner tells me is conservative on the timing. I run 13 psi on 93 octane and 16 on 100 octane. I'm still driving my FD almost daily, so I can't go all out yet and tune for having 110+ in the tank all the time. A link to my dyno chart is in my sig, (Brian, feel free to add it to you site. I tried to submit it a while back, but it wouldn't work). I definitely will be running 20 psi as soon as the weather "cools down" here in Florida. Tuning in a hot garage on a dyno with 90% humidity and 100 degree temps sucks for making power.

I'm hoping for 500 whp at 20 psi. Would anyone care to comment on that expectation?

 

my bud lays down 500 rwhp with a T66 @ 19psi.. on a Street ported 13BT S5 block.. very good number compared to many ppl on this board.. he is the best tuner ive found around here proablly in Canada

 

p.s - a few days ago he was running 11.2 in 42 Cel temps.. he has broken 10.8 a few times

 

well i have a great engine i bought for 4gs its all polished 13b re its just a great setup with the microtech fuel managment system so hopefully if i get a t66 i will be running more the 500hp becuase i know for sure this engine can handle way more then that.

 

more then 500hp...is it dowel pinned? who built it?
any 2 rotor is close to breaking when passing the 500hp mark

well not any, but the big hp numbers coming out of 13b's have a lifetime of 3-5miles before a rebuilt or teardown

 

I donnu which 13b your talking about. The right 13b's have way more life than that. My t78 running around 450 on pump has 6k now and still produces same pull numbers as freshly broken in.

Although 5k is at the limit of your suggestion, I would reckon there are many, many more single turbo enthusiast getting more than 5kmiles out of a 13b block.
Im counting on it that's for sure. And not one mishap, nor sign of anythin wrong is to prove me otherwise.

 

this is the engine

 

there is a t70 in the first pic but i didnt buy that becuase i wasnt sure what turbo was best for me.

 

new just in.. my tuner tryed a newer port type and got 440rwhp on 12psi.. street port T66 sweeeeeeeeeet

 

Link? Dyno? Magic Port?

 

its his secret he wont tell anyone what he does.. he has worked and trained/was trained by guru and they talk a lot.. I guess they called him the other day and said try this port and send him some specs.. he tryed it and gained 40 more rwhp @ 12psi.. he doesnt have a website.. Hes located just out of Vancouver, best tuner ive ever seen maybe he used Pixie Dust?

 

not bad 440@12psi I wonder what he would run at higher boost

 

anyone else have any suggestions on which turbo to go with?? im leaning towards the t66.

 

I have a t-70, and I like the way it performs, but if I gould do it over I would probably go for the t-66 because the t-70 has some lag. I've only heard good things about the t-66

 

Sounds unbelievable to me...let's see the dyno sheet! I would love to believe that it is true.

 

I don't like to call BS because there are lots of things out there that I don't know about... but I think I know the secret to 440 at 12 PSI... a 3 rotor.

Honestly, 440 at 12 is a lot of power unless maybe he's doing something strange like a peripheral port at 10k rpm or something...

 

true. Anyway i say go with the t-66. Gotham makes a great kit, although not on their website yet, so give them a call. or go to www.gothamracing.com Btw i was going to go with t-70 but didnt just because of the "flat" spot it has as well as poor compressor map.

 

hey slow wankle what kind of numbers are you putting out and is the lag really bad or how is it. And do you think its streetable??

 

yo,
440rwhp 12psi T66 just a special street port.. no bridge no PP porting.. On his old setup he was at 400 area at 12psi and 495rwhp @ 19 on C16. This guys a great tuner.. he wont let me in on his secret ports. Shops name is Force Fed in Langley, Vancouver. His name is marco give him a call and chat it up.

still no dyno posted bcty. you must have one to back the numbers up.

I put down 311hp at 12lbs of boost running extremely rich...about 10:1. I can hit 12 lbs by a little over 3000, but I just found that I had a pretty significant exhaust leak where my wastegate meets the header.

 

hes not the internet preson and i dont see him much.. but in a few weeks ill be taking my car over for a newer engine put in and a tune.. so ill post of ##'s then it will be a stock port but just wait and see what kinda numbers he brings out

 

ok sounds good

 

If you really are right about this being a street ported 13b then it making 440 @ 12psi is hard to swallow if your talking rwhp. You sure he didnt mean engine hp? That would come out to around 375rw which is MUCH more believable from a T66. Was he on race gas when he made this 12psi run? If he dynoed the car to get this power then someone should be able to get a sheet up here.....or is he just "estimating"?

On second thought I do happen to know of a Marco from Canada that is a very good tuner and has a 10 second car. His name is Marco Passante and he ownes a shop but its not the one you listed, as far as I know he ownes Magnus Motorsports.

Is this the same Marco your talking about?

 

mangus used to be his old shop i believe.. he also owned rotary motorsports but sold it went to AUS to train and stuff came back. He opened up right next door to his old shop. Eventually worked them outta business he made the 440 RWHP on 94 octane. higher boost he uses C16. He has been rebuilding the engine everyweek to figure new stuff out and hes on the dyno a few times a week it seems now. he does an amazing job. Another one of my friends is having his engine built up and ported by him. he just has the stock turbo so ill let you know him numbers as well. I know he has cracked 10.8 10.7 a few times but he has trouble launching. Its also a nice touch that this car is daily driven.
