Been a while...
I've been MIA while forward deployed, but got a brief break from the grind with internet access. So taking this opportunity to ask the crew some long awaited questions.
I have a couple questions for the group regarding Xona turbos. I'm looking to potentially upgrade my 3052 with a newer Xona setup when I get back.
First, question 1 is: I'm looking for something very comparable in capability. I'd like to upgrade to the Xona to hopefully take advantage of the newer aero and bearing designs, which I'm hoping will increase spool/power delivery across the powerband. I'm NOT really looking to increase peak power, so I don't need something larger. I really just want to make around the same power more efficiently, if that's possible. Right now, I'm running my 3052 at a bit over 30 PSI peak, which from what I know is right on the ragged edge for my compressor. I'm looking to upgrade, but would even use a turbo that made slightly less peak power if it meant better transient boost response and a fatter powerband. Thus, I'm looking at the Xona XR61-57S, which according to the small amount of information available on it would be comparable (physical specs wise at least) to my 3052: https://www.extremepsi.com/store/Xo...P-61lb-min-ULTRA-HIGH-FLOW-TURBINE-WHEEL.html
That being said, Xona has a million XR model turbos a bit smaller and a bit larger, and I'm looking to find a good fit given the goals stated above.
Question 2 is twofold: First, does anyone know if the Xona XR supercores will/can be made to fit a FP30 bolt on turbine housing? And, if it can, it that a terrible idea efficiency wise? Which brings me to my final question: If the FP30 housing can't be used, or will kill efficiency, what turbine housing do you all recommend? There are a bunch of TiAL V-Band and T-3 turbine housing options and honestly, I'm out of my league here (and don't currently have the bandwidth to research for hours on end) trying to decide which of the two million housings would best suit me given the goals I've stated above:
Turbine Housing Choices (available for the Xona XR61-57S specifically...Some of the other models have fewer turbine housing options):
Of note, I likely may not reply immediately/at all due to my current situation. I'll appreciate the feedback even if absent. Thanks in advance.
