gtrs eliminator?

[SEATCOOBER]

i am being thick or something why does it matter how big it is surly the turbo sucks as much air as it needs to spool, it depends on what its made of that resticks the turbo and it is fine gourse so its better than a cotton filter!!

 

[David_smith_909]

if you had a time limit to drink as much as you can

you were drinking through a straw
your mate were drinking out of pint glasses

who would drink more?

another words, to get more air in, you need more "area" for the air to enter..... "area of suction"

 

[SEATCOOBER]

a good example but not strickly true, say you were both using the straws to drink yeah!!! one had a flaired end on his straw and one had a normal one, they would drink the same as the restriction is the pipework into the turbo on not whats on the end!!

 

[David_smith_909]

okok, so my example was bad (thought about that after i typed it)

you get what i mean though regarding the filter

 

[SEATCOOBER]

i know the induction side on these turbos makes a hell of a difference, but my car has not felt as fast with any other filter on even the one atp supply im still getting good mass flow readings so im happy, not being funny but i cant see how having a smaller filter on makes much difference the restriction is in the pipework not filter, material will have definatly but its not as fine as a cotton so will flow more!!

 

[PhilW]

Aside from the filter size, you said it doesnt feel fast?

 

[ian_cupra]

he said 'not felt as fast with any other filter on'

 

[SEATCOOBER]

it is fast its 291 bhp lol but it was only pulling 1.4 but ive wound the actuator now so its now pulling 1.6 i think its over 300 now will get some logs up soon see what ya think!! i never said it wasnt fast just laggy, thinking about the jbs mani now and 1.9!!!

 

[David_smith_909]

that will improve spool alot

but i think its in the actual nature of your turbo though, you will get it down bit equel length and 1.9 but thats alot of £££ just to get your spoolup time quicker, it would be cheaper replacing the turbo witha faster spooling one wouldnt it?

the equal lenth mani and a 1.9 would also icrease torque and HP aswell as seeing the spool time decreased..

the other thing is... why hasnt anyone done a twin scroll setup yet ? or would that be asking too much from a 1.8 engine ?

 

[David_smith_909]

i presume because no one has pockets deep enough

 

[SEATCOOBER]

it would be a perfect car if i could get peak spool by 4000, can get a second hand jbs mani for 400 and how much to go 1.9???

 

[PhilW]

You'd have to be an idiot to go 1900 on an eliminator.

Better to buy a proper turbo setup.

 

[SEATCOOBER]

proper turbo set up is???

 

[Adam R]

ihi ??

 

[SEATCOOBER]

there is nothing wrong with the eliminator just needs a little more help to get in going!!!

 

[PhilW]

Something that doesnt use a k0x flange.

back to flow.

2meters of 2" pipe will flow less than 1meter of 2" pipe connected to 1meter of 4" pipe,
although they both have a 2" restriction.

 

[h17och]

as for turbos.

a eliminator is a mid budget turbo made to be stuck on to have large gains with minimum work.

why buy a turbo for its easy installation then spend loads of money and time trying to make it good.

!? beats me

go all the way from day 1 or just squeeze a few horses from a stock motor

no its as good as its choke point whereever that is.
