Too Many Turbos for Too Much $$$$

[DBR01]

Also, big turbos create tons of torque too... After all HP is always equal to torque at 5250rpm.

But of course I'm sure you already knew that

I see what you're trying to say but that's not the point I'm getting at. It's not completely about how much torque you have but more or less when you have torque applied. Of course there are many varying factors such as launch RPM, turbo style, gear ratio, etc. But lets say we're talking about your standard Big, slow spooling turbo.

HP does equate to Torque but at that RPM and speed(on a BIG Turbo) your tranny is not as stressed as it would be from a stop.

If you look at the power curve between a SC and a BIG Turbo'd engine you'll notice this:

-On the SC engine the Torque will increase quickly following the HP. This stresses the drivetrain greatly due to big torque from a stop.
-On the BIG Turbo'd engine the Torque will increase much later but will of course meet HP at peak. This doesn't stress the drivetrain much because the tranny and axles are already rotating to speed.

well let us know when you break that tranny, cause it sounds like you got it all figured out!

but your motor will probably pop 1st is my bet, seems like you don't have a clue what is going on

You are a moron.

It's a nitrous car and weighs nothing. FP claims to have went 11.82@119 in a full weight 99 GSX, a feat that no one else has seemed to duplicate.

A buddy of mine ran a 12.221 @ 112.76 with a '99 GSX & FP T28 back in the day (Summer of 2002 I believe). From what I can remember, his mods at the time were ACT 2600, S-AFC, 660s, 2.5" full Buschur exhaust, Greddy large FMIC & a Whineboro 255. Add a DSMLink, cams, and who knows what else and I honestly don't see why the 11 second barrier could be broken again.

That's a damn good time but going from 112-119 with cams and a little tune would be quite a feat.

An nitrous system with a identity crisis?

So now I need some help with specifics. I've been looking for a turbo capable of flowing 44 lbs or 500 hp.

You guys have all lost me with this comment here. You are aiming for 44lbs/min, however you are looking at massive turbos, someone please explain the logic. My FP Green has far exceeded this number already, as has my friend's 20g, both with very reasonable boost figures and pump gas. Why would you require or even think about turbos as massive as the ones I'm hearing? This isnt THAT hard of a figure to achieve guys, honestly. Hell the stock 2g airflow meter unhacked is WELL able to handle this airflow if that says anything.

Maybe there not trying as hard?
