The GT42 is larger than the KAI, but it seems the KAI will spool faster... maybe I should get an SPL, LOL!

Pretty cool list dood but whats all that mean? Isnt spool time and flow rate and boost teh important stuff? What diff does it make about size as long as it fits on teh engine? Sorry doesnt make sense to me. Maybe nice to know for junk yard hunting?

teh is funny when it's an actual typo, or if it's being emphasized, but it just sounds dumb when it replaces "the" in every sentence.

but generally speaking, the bigger it it, the slower it spools, but the more it blows. do a search on turbo stuff and you'll find a bunch of info on how to properly seze a turbo for your application.

^ and none of teh real turbo sizing stuf has nething to do with size. Its all flow rate and boost pressure and efficiency and stuff like that.

no need to be a spelling **** dood. it aint like u are mr english either.

Show me one turbo sizing chart that shows you need a certain exducer or inducer or whatever for matching to teh engine. They all about efficiency and flow and boost pressure dood.

learn 2 read compressor maps dood. lots of drifting mags can help u. study and learn.

Oh noes! You did not just mention drifting mags...??? OMFGLOLROFLBABYJESUS

Dave doesn't have a problem reading compressor maps... why would he ask for maps if he couldn't read them?

The turbo size shows quite a bit... look at the trim size of the wheel, the inducer and exducer, and the A/R. Obviously a 1.5" hotside is going to spool faster than a 1.9" hotside. Even though it's in Inches rather than Millimeters... you can do the math. It doesn't require a compressor map. Most of the turbos are pretty common anyway, digging up a map wouldn't be too hard...

If you know anything about rotaries... you'll know how much they flow.. and they flow a pretty damn good amount compared to a piston engine of equal size.

But I agree on "teh" - seriously bro, it's ok when it's a typo... but when it becomes the norm for everything you type.. it just gets stupid. Also, you can expect some flaming for the drift mag ordeal... just some FYI.

Anyway, I posted some info that was interesting.. and maybe useful to some.. if it isn't useful to you, then go elsewhere. I thought someone would like to see it.

beats me, but its clear he cant. Aint no big deal tho coz it dont matter xcept he dont know that aint ne wheels sizes shown on maps.

Not true dood. Spool gonna be different if one is BB and one aint, or if one has a diff AR or if one is more efficient or if one is made lighter or lots of other reasons.

ok ur right about that

THose turbos on the list are not BB... none of them are... so it shouldn't be an option when looking at the list.

If there were BB turbos listed, it would be a different story. Those turbos are organized by size, and when it comes to turbos... bigger turbo = more power. Whether or not you have enough exhaust flow to power that turbo is another story... but exhaust flow aside.. size is going to make the difference.

that sentance made no sense whatsoever. everyone who reads this thread will be dumber, having listened to you. once you learn about turbos, you'll almost disreguard wheel size, and pay attention to the map--the thing that's important.

for instance: the af61 has a really big compressor housing, but a t66 in a t04s (smaller) compressor housing blows more. an idiot like you would grab the biggest physical housing you could find and expect to make more power. learn about wheel trim and flow.


and enough with the ebonics. you just advertise your ignorance and make yourself sound like gutter trash. back to the projects with you!!!
