alright... so im already kicking myself in the face for selling my last rx7 for 2k after i put about 6k plus had a full turbo driveline for it. so anyway... i want so bad to build another one... and i can get my hands on a few turbo 2's pretty cheap. so the plan is..... i dont care about smootheness in idling or anything like that, i just want to build an all out, ***** to the wall, driven ocassionally (every weekend) raping people on the street and at the track... so... my question. bridgeport turbo or p-port turbo a good idea? i know theres alot more that factors into this question like turbo size, injector size and all that but... i just want answers for now... how will the car react to certain things? will it hold its own idle? will it be esier to damage the turbo? things like that.... basically... is it a good idea for what i want to do with it? i want to make some serious horsepower... more than you could imagine....

 

20b?

i mean, it doesnt seem like cash is that huge of an issue, since your already talking huge turbos and kaboodles of power......

 

its not going to be built in a day... im not messing with anything else on the car except drivetrain when i get it. no bodykits... no stereo, no interior, flat black, with flat black wheels. its going to be the nastiest car around here when i get done

 

how about a *gasp* streetport turbo


why does everyone always think you need a bridgeport or peripheral port to make good power?

are you aware how much power you can make on stock ports?

 

So, this ***** to the wall race car, this will be how many horsepower?

500?600?700?.................read the single turbo section, you'd be surprised how much can be extracted from BONE STOCK ports with a huge single

I mean unless you just want to P port the thing for ***** and giggles.....and swearing.....and sweating.......and praying that the f*&%king thing runs.......


edit:
Bottom line is that the majority of extreme port jobs (p-ports, J-ports etc) are for extracting high rpm power from an N/A configuration. Since the ariflow in a turbo motor can be so drastically raised by simply getting a larger, more capable turbo - this essentially takes over the place of huge porting.

 

Interesting edit, classicauto. How much horsepower can we get out of the stock turbo (non-ported engine) given that we have all of the goodies listed in our signature for our AE? Should a fuel pump updgrade be next on our list?

 

This argument has been raging in the single turbo section for a while now. Yes, you can make rediculous amounts of power with a bridge or peri port turbo car. But like other people have already said, you can make 600+rwhp with a streetported motor and the proper turbo. I honestly don't see you being able to hook up that kind of power on the street, much less any more than that. Save the money that you'd spend on that porting and spend it on a good turbo and better fuel system! Just my .02

aight... yeah maybe i was thinking a little crazy... but my goal for the car will be around 500 hp to the wheels... just something to drive on the weekends and at the track... i guess ill go read in the single turbo thread

 

If you only want 500rwhp you could damn near do that on stock ports. But you can hit that number quite easily with a streetport.

 

i use to love the sound of my brigdeported s5 TII,when you are on a stop light and everybody its looking for the pra pra pra,GO WITH THE BRIGDEPORTS its fun

 

so you actually had a bridgeported turbo eh? what did it feel like to drive it? how did it idle? how did it respond to the throttle? what kind of turbo, fuel system, spark system did you use?....
