We are at it again with decisions on the build. To catch everyone up I am rebuilding my 94 FD after i blew a side seal, apex seal, and dented the rotor (I know, impressive, thank you). I am having an aggressive street port done on the new motor along with studs for hopefully added strength of the motor as well as an oil pan brace. My last setup is being recycled as much as possible, im not going to get too deep into what that entails.

The question is what type of power are people making on a 6266 Journal bearing? I was offered at a discounted price the turbo that has all of 50 miles on it. I know the BB vs JB debate is probably going to arise here, but im really looking for anyone running this turbo with either bearing and what kind of power they are making. Also any pos/neg effects of running either.

Power goals for the first tune while im forced to DD is between 400-450 whp. The motor should be good for 500-550 so keeping in mind that I am going for that range as a max

-Thanks!

 

Good size for those power levels.

 

That turbo will be perfect for goals. I ran a 6265 for a while and it was a very fun and responsive setup.

If you ever decide you want more power it'll give you what you need as well. I was a hair under 500hp in this video.

 

Here is a 6266 on a stock port engine. 20 and 24psi respectively. IGN1A coils DF, ID725/2000s, Adaptronic FD PNP, Defined Vmount ;Owner tuned/built.

 

I am running 850/1600 injectors at the moment. Should I up the secondaries or should those handle it?

 

Should be plenty in terms of injectors.
