LCR W.I.P Update K04 Hybrid- F23 Here, mini review page 50

I'm really enjoying this turbo, i have it set to boost to 23psi and it holds 21/22psi solid to redline, that makes for awesome power delivery, a nice flat power band.. Rock on.

This F23 just kicks the CR turbo's a$$ on some many levels its not even funny, its a totally different driving experience.

That's very nice boost delivery you have there Rob. Impressive to see the improvement in speed from your previous postings also. Very interested to see your future dyno's.

As will i, i need to travel next week to Chicago but i am thinking of ways i can get a dyno in on the way up or the way back from the airport.

Glad you're happy mate, sounds like a great tubby!

 

[ibizacupra]

no surge either rob.
looks very nice

well done Doug

 

[cupra-barn]

That graph looks like a 'fun' drive to me

Well done mate.

You know i am wondering should i get a B5 hooked onto this turbo, i have 2 of them, but the billet adapter needs to be machined out.

@ Bill what clearance do you normally use for your Billet adapters, the F23 is 54mm diamater on the inlet.

 

[t0m]

The B5 V3 doesn't have a billet adapter mate, why don't you go for one of those and sell the other two perhaps?

0.1mm

the V3 wont fit the F23.. it wont stretch from 51mm to 54mm I dont expect.. ?? Never tried mind you..


hmmmm

 

[rsmith]

I have a V1 and a V2.2, .1mm doesnt leave much room for error.

Bill are you able to check out a V3 over a 54mm shroud.

 

[t0m]

Gotta be worth a try?

The F23 could prove popular going by Robbie's results.

 

[RDS]

That it could Tom.

I'll be keeping an eye on this Robbie, keep up the good work mate.

 

[rsmith]

Well we still need to get this on the dyno, the proof is in the pudding as they say!

 

[t0m]

Very true. Results was the wrong word for me to use, maybe 'findings' would have been better for now!

I dont have one to try it on..
I was going to be ordering an F23 off doug shortly to put on lupo, so I might do that sooner.

I'll ask doug.

Bill -- I still might have one of the TIPs you sent me last year. I am not sure if they're V1, V2 etc, but you machined the metal adapter to fit the F23s bigger inlet shroud. Should I send one of those metal pieces to Chi-Town, Robbie?

 

[ibizacupra]

if its OD measures 76mm its the earlier V1 style, if its 80mm its the newer V2.x style

It's from fall '11. Here's how the adapter fits

 

[rsmith]

Looks like the v1 to me, below are the V1 vs the v2.2 I have.

Apologies for the crappy picture, my hands are still shaking from all the pints last night!
