Help sizing turbocharger
#46
I think the car will make more power per pound of boost than you have on the plot. Roughly adding a zero to the pounds minute airflow on that map should nearly correspond to crankshaft horsepower. Many turbocharger installations cross the surge line in spool up. To control heat and make hefty power I would want to have peak power in the center island of the efficiency map. I agree with you I like this turbos wide range of efficiency, that's why I've run so many on different cars in the past. Have you though much about getting that thing enough fuel? At the pressures CIS operates at, you're gonna' need a godzilla fuel pump (Bosch 044?). I still don't think it's going to feed a ton of h.p. You going the ghetto route with cold start injectors wired to Hobb's switches lol? Good luck.
