Max Power from a VF30

[X]

well if u do both combo then u get a really good power, ichi ban's engine got kelford cams and gt28 turbo on a possum link got 250kw on a ver 5/6 sti heads

power fc is good but a newer G3/G4 link is more better and easier to tune by the tuner

[Guest]

hmm yeh but im not planning on going down the g3g4 road.

iwana use my car as a daily.and have good reliable power too.230 isnt to much to ask for,but i need to get the basics first.

i think a power fc and a decnt tune should be able to crack 230,but i dont think my turbo has it in it.

im not too keen on doing cams just yet.would rather go for new turbo.fueling mods and a good tune,then later work into a forged block with cams..

[funkytown]

a standard ej20k ( im assuming unforged) dont particularly like much over 200wkw.. just fwiw

[Guest]

yeh 200 220 stock

im hoping for 230 with support mods

im sure by pbms block should be ok.they said it would be good for around 220 when they built it.but the turbo will be maxed before then anyway.

im hoping the newer style bearings and modded oil pump will help beb not to hapen ether.but only time will tell

[Pappu1]

Did pbms tell u turbo will be maxed before 220?

Also have u thought abt front mount cos not sure how well the stock top mount will like to effectively run 230kw if u do get there on it

[Guest]

yeh they said they motors good for around 220kw but my stock turbo will be maxed out before that.

thus is the reason i wana upgrade.hmm duno,ihave but!ilove the quick response of the topmount.especially with the 23

My VF22 MAXED at 217KW on a V7 engine-

[Guest]

correct

ithink a setup including

vf22 vf30 td05 18g-20g-twitsed setup

headers with external port

power fc

rebuilt ej20k

silicone intake with ca

front mount

walbro with mayb a surge setup

that should see a good 220 230 kw imo.

...

I have-

VF22

FULLY TUNED headers with waistgate from turbo housing as above

LINK g4 with antilag

Front mount

Walbrough 500hp with pink injectors

3" DEAD straight exhast

Direct turbo intake

v7 engine

Tuned with VCT and AVCS

[Guest]

seems abit strange theres a few setup on here running avcs and v7 motor making more power.mayb your 22 is holding you back?

Yeah it definately is. replacing with a TD06 is the next step. Also tuned on a tourque performance dyno which reads a bit low

[Guest]

hmm yeh td06 i here is a good unit.

havnt thought bout going for a garret unit.gt30 or so?

lil bit more expenssive,but well worth it in the long run.im sure the v7 engine will help spool it up good.haha

Was almost thinking gt28R so theres minimal lag with good results. but the $$$ for a garett is ^^^^

[funkytown]

a 2871r is a good unit, you'd be looking mid 250's with that.

the 3071r with a good measure of boost will see about 300.

a 2876r in my opinion is too unbalanced (in wheel size for ej20 ) and you see a laggy 250-60.

for the $$ in doing the conversion and it is $$$$ maybe staying on a td 18 / 20g / vf based turbo and doing cams is as cost effective as a turbo conversion.

[Pappu1]

im not sure whats the deal with tmic to fmic and lag

there maybe a slight slight bit

but in all seriousness its more than worth to do the fmic

ps. so pmbs say the vf23 will max out before 220 -

they told me the same as well

not sure why ppl say it will get 230... ???

[funkytown]

agree Pappu, 210-220 is about safe limits for vf23. Sl8r is currently finding that out with the 23 pushing to much hot air.

As for lag - what lag, most can be tuned out. even on bigger turbos

ANTI-LAG

[funkytown]

its mostly not even required, launch control will do the trick if you need to get away smartly - and its not nearly as savage on your exhaust and turbo components.

Not to say we wouldn't like it- its certainly a bawse mod, and wins e-peen fights any day of the week ;D

Hahahaha its got quite bad lag without the anti-lag though, seeing the big rip you out the seat feeling at about 4100

not sure brad proved a few people wrong thoe with his setup.and his af ratio was still mint.

yeh they told me that,considering my turbo has 125thou ks and my motor 15 thou ks,idont think it would be capable of it ne more.mayb when the turbo was new.this the reason being i wana upgrade,and why not when you hava turbo builder on the forums that can make you a custom turbo.lol

[vorigan]

ANTI LAG=turbo killers( now old school way of doing things )

Launch control=flat shifting and doesnt kill turbos or boxes

[Joker]

most of this thread has been relevant as mate has just got a V0 (or version 1) RA with a vf30 on it...

Didn't it get fairly well established that the number he pulled was at least somewhat generous on the dyno's behalf?

[WRXONP]

LOL you guys crack me up

it was "established" was it

I think all you lot need to step back...there is FUCKLOADS of ways to make power and turbo is only the start of it

i ran 200kw on 1 dyno. more mods on a different dyno and got 215.. more work and got 222 on a different dyno.. re did the current mods and got 233 at TP..

All in all its just a number that doesnt mean shit really??

quarter mile times and trap speeds show a fast car and a decent driver

BTW mine was on a fully stock un opened EJ20G !!! YES G - non sti

like i said think outside the sqaure theres alot more to making power than which turbo is strapped on the side

[WRXONP]

place seems like a womans gossip mag sometimes

he said she said..it was established LOL that one does take the cake however

TURBOs dont give you a estimated figure or a max figure..mearly a rough guideline
