turbo for 800hp

[chevydiesellly]

whats the best Turbo on the market to hit 800hp plus? been thinking of something like the GT42 or GT42mag.

S480

[chevydiesellly]

what size is a S480? 80mm? awhere would i be able to buy one from? what rpm's would i need to turn it?

thanks by the way

Yes, it is 80mm

I think a couple of the vendors on this site might be able to hook you up as well.

What kind of RPM are you comfortable turning?

[chevydiesellly]

well i will have a complete built motor, rods, pistons, cam, heads, billet main caps, dual fuelers, and the list goes on. so for RPM im not really sure. i guess whatever it takes to run it. this will be going into my daily driver, but i will never tow anything with it. i was told i would need between 4000-4500 to run the GT42Mag and 3500-4000 for the GT42.

The S480 is a bad mother...

Driveable between 2300 and 4500+ depending on the exhaust housing. Lights hard at 3000rpm. If you want 800rwhp reliably from a single, there will have to be compromises made to the usable rev range. Read: Serious trans tuning, injectors, and a cam.

My price is under 1100 on a T4 (less on a T6), so there's a bit of a price advantage over a 42 as well.

what would be a good size exhaust housing to go with? i dont want drive presure to be crazy high. injectors will be 60% over, cam i need to talk to Guy at SoCal still. and trans tuning will be done by the shop that is building the motor for me.

I will have some feed back on the Turbonetics Midframe 76mm this spring. Should be somewhere between 8-900hp on fuel

Curtis,

Is that the HP76? Looks promising...

can some explain what i am looking at when i read this? i get the name, compressor wheel. just kinda confused on the bold parts.

Turbocharger Name - S480
Compressor Wheel Inducer - 80mm
Turbine Wheel Inducer - 87/96
Turbine Wheel Trim - 87
Turbine Wheel Part # - 410100-2
Turbine Option - Outlet - V-Band
Turbine Option - Inlet - T6
Turbine Option - A/R - 1.10
Horsepower Rating - 550-1300

Nick would be able to explain it better than me so I'll wait and see if he wants to do so.

Until then, here is a link with a little bit of info

Turbocharger Name - S480
Compressor Wheel Inducer - 80mm
Turbine Wheel Inducer - 87/96 Large section of the turbine wheel 87mm, small section 96. These are the numbers used to describe the wheel on the turbine side
Turbine Wheel Trim - 87 Quick way to describe turbine wheel specs.
Turbine Wheel Part # - 410100-2
Turbine Option - Outlet - V-Band Describes how the downpipe connects
Turbine Option - Inlet - T6
Turbine Option - A/R - 1.10 Describes the flow characteristics of the turbine housing (Large metal part around the turbine wheel). Lower number = increased drive pressure and spoolup. (Lower overall HP, better driveability)
Horsepower Rating - 550-1300

Might help a bit, feel free to drop in Josh. :)

I don't mean to monopolize, just sharing what I know.

It's all good, I just know that you know more about them than me:thumb:

[chevydiesellly]

awesome thanks for the info. helps me alot, i dont feel so stupid any more.

so 1.10 would be a good size? or should i go larger?

[CurtisEmery]

Curtis,

Is that the HP76? Looks promising...

Nick

Yes and No... It shares the same compressor as the HP76. But the bearing housing and turbine are considerably larger than the hp76. I believe it is Y2K based with a T4 turbine housing apposed to the T6 of the normal Y2K's. Hears a few pix.

[chevydiesellly]

wow that thing is pretty.... and you said that will be good for 8-900hp?

I don't think you want to go much larger than that with a T6. Spool up might get tough. You may even want to start with something smaller.

[chevydiesellly]

thanks for the heads up. i wasnt sure if that was going to be to small, to large or the right size.

Thats what I was told. There are a few guys with araura 6000's making around 900hp. This should move as much or more air than a that I hope...:thumb:

hmm the wheel is turning
