That's my problem right now as well
Waste of time. Go .70 AR on the BW S258 ,you'll have the best of both world's(especially since you have a 2.4L) and alot easier on the motor which means more reliable hp and less back pressure. You will also make the same hp with less boost. Less heat,less wear and tear on the motor. It's common sense.On Topic:
I think I'll enjoy the extra flow of the S258 and the quicker spool of the .55 a/r. Yeah it'll work a little harder and I may have to add a pound or two of boost to make up the small A/R.... I think it's going to be a win/win situation. I want a nice wide compressor map so I don't get the surge I'm experiencing now - I think the S258 is going to be the ticket.
yeah except to switch to the A/R I'm looking at spending a whole hell of a lot more money to switch everything over to a T3 setup. It's something I don't have.
Off topic:
well maybe we can find some ways to prepare for this kind of abuse as well. I been working on locating evoIII tranny part numbers and finding low cost transmission parts that are stronger than ours.
I have a certified master tech as a close buddy who has built many many dsm/evo tranny's and will be building mine as well. Let me know if you're interested.
Let me know if you have any ideas on how we're going to hold our cars together for this - I'm battling a few leaks, but so far the car is currently taking the 400+ HP I'm making now.
I think launching is the hardest on the car... so I stay away from doing that. What's your drive train setup like? I'm still running an ACT2600 - looking to switch to a twindisc after this one begins to slip.

^^^ That is true, specially since I did everything DSM bolt-on. Now I have to switch to T3. I do not even know how much it will be to switch out the turbine housing. Any one know?

Bullseye sells the other housings separately if you're interested, but IIRC it was fairly expensive--in the 250 dollar range. I still have my .85 A/R T3 with the 6-bolt BW discharge laying around if you're interested in that.
Your mod list shows that you have a coated FP mani. You could easily sell that off for a couple hundred bucks along with your turbo and o2 housing. The ERL cast stainless T3 manifold is $500. The new turbo costs the same whether you get it with the .70 T3 or the bolt-on housing. JMF or Punishment can make you an o2 housing that'll bolt to your DP. You're talking about a difference of a few hundred dollars, tops. How much do you have invested in your car? Is it really worth skimping on a couple hundred dollars in an area that can give you the most gain per dollar spent?
2g, your .85 a/r housing, that's a twin scroll isn't it?
Maybe you've noticed, over on the evo side of the planet there is some twin scroll mania going on right now. Evolutionm.net. Full race is making manifolds. Geoff @ Fullrace is gung-ho enthused about them. They get expensive, 2 wastegates! Now I see they're making one with one wastegate. I think somebody is making them for DSMs too. Shearer or Kaizen or VIP or Full Race. Anyway, .85 a/r twin scroll should be kinda like .55 a/r single scroll spool wise but make a little more power, or something like that.

AWDer is using the .55 a/r DSM bolt-on housing. He says he's getting 50 lbs/min at about 33psi and E85. It's only a 2 liter and he's at a zillion feet altitude. S258 with .55 a/r sounds ok to me! Check out these crazy guys running only a .48 a/r 50 trim on a 2.4 liter SRT4:

Thanks for the info - actually gives me a little light @ the end of my tunnel for what I'm trying to do.

Good deal. I just finished rereading that SRT thread myself. It's pretty entertaining.
Didja notice they can use whatever they want for avatars over there. Wish we could do that here.
By the way, if you want to find out more about AWDer's setup than what's in his thread, check in with biglady112. He knows all about AWDer's car and is very helpful. He doesn't like to spend a lot of time writing but he is very helpful on the phone.

Or you could just ask me or pm me directly. I also own a phone. I may even know more about my setup than Steve.

Sure do. It'll be it's downside @ 500+hp.
But I'm going to run it right around 500-550. When I switch to an external gate, I'll more than likely switch to a T3 .70 a/r housing and a 44mm Vband gate.
