What setup would get me down the quarter the quickest and from a roll?

Hey all,

Just wondering between the s16g, e316g, and 16g with Evo X compressor wheel, which one would get me down the quarter the quickest and also from a roll on the highway.

I know that this is probably too close to call, but I think the e316g would take the cake.

Willing to turn the boost up as high as the turbo will support on pump to meet these idealisms.

I know that my goals are probably contradictory but still think the e316g would meet them.

My car is a heavier GVR-4 and has the shorter GVR-4 first gear which might make a small difference.

Which one would do it?

Thanks
 
Hey man just to chime in, what I plan on doing might work for you as well. I dont think your opposed to running a 20g if its cost effective? If you are then just disregard this but some freelancers on here can rebuild and convert your 16g into 20g for around 300 bucks

The one which makes the most airflow. That would be the Evo III 16G. :aha:

Drag racing and highway pulls have no regard to spool....so obviously the compressor with the highest airflow potential would be the clear winner.
 
Well thanks, but it is not cost effective for me. Add in the cost of bigger injectors and a 255 lph fuel pump if you don't have these items already and it is not cost effective to me. I am trying to do more with less because I find that just as fun.

Justin,

Thanks for your thoughts...could you please clarify this part...

"Drag racing and highway pulls have no regard to spool" What about when you take off during a drag race? Doesn't spool matter then?

I run my e316g on FIC 650s to around 28-30 psi with 93 pump gas and water-meth injection. My base fuel pressure is almost 50 psi, but my IDCs never go above 87-90% with an AFR of around 10.5-1.

I think you can get enough out of your injectors; you may want a 255HP pump though.

You are my hero! Great data....actually have a 255 pump handy but that needing a regulator (overruning it) or not thing has been dizzying me for years. Thanks for the IDC info...I guess that I can run it on the FIC 650s and see if I need to swap the fuel pump when I check my IDC.

Okay, just throwing out some options for you. You could always sell your injectors and fuel pump and buy larger ones. Not paying much of a difference.

Your set on a 16g it seems like so the evo 3 for sure. Definitely the flow rate winner
 
Dunno, you got me thinking now...already have the fuel pump. Could sell my injectors....part of it is lazyness too. ;)

If you drop below 5K at a drag strip...you're doing it all wrong.

If you're doing a highway pull while starting in a gear high enough that the boost can't come on like a light switch, you're still doing it wrong.


Besides- we're talking 300-400rpms of spool difference TOPS between the Small 16G and Evo III; both are still well below 4000 when full boost is reached so neither turbo is anywhere near being considered drag-only. That and I don't think I ever heard of a person who upgraded to an Evo III and went back because it was too laggy...the gain in top end airflow makes any additional lag worth getting used to.
