Read Sport Compact Car more. All your answers are there. Either that or call Dave Coleman and ask him if you can buy his car so you don't have to use your brain.

I have read that issue a ton of times, it just seams like it should be making more power,
I just purchased one of those turbos, and was wondering if someone has made over 300hp at the tires with it, which should be very easy considering the volume of air that thing moves.
Coleman is selling the project Silvia?!?

Well it made 274hp to the wheels at only 15psi. This is with a cat (though high flow) stock turbo elbow, and JWT tuning which is usually not very agressive and it was tuned and dynoed with 91 octane.

I'm sure it could be pushed to make 325hp to the wheels at 19-20psi but keep in mind its still only a 60mm T3 sized compressor wheel.

[JackDrift]

I am planning on running it at about 18 psi on VP ms103 race fuel, with no cat and a bigger elbow and compressor outlet.

well if you already have it, what the hell are you waiting for? put it on and dyno it. then you will know.

what do you mean hes not selling it? a look alike?

[DuffMan]

Its a stock t25 with t3 compressor bolted onto it and some machine work.

Non ball bearing and 40 year old blade design vs. full ball bearing and brand new garrett GT blade design is a HUGE difference.

For 650 you could at least get a used T28 which would outperform the hybrid.

HAHAHAHA! That's great. Oh man... nobody appreciates sarcasm anymore. :fawkd:

Ok, seriously, you have the turbo. Why don't you put it on and use it? Take it to the dyno, pay the man, and get it tuned while you are at it. Then you'll see exactly what it makes.

And then you drive the car. If you like it, you win. If you don't like it, then change something.
