GT30R next week, 35R they are supposed to have ready in a week or 2. And a few more. It's not really worth me testing the majority of the 50 - 60-1 range as i can already tell u what they'll make as i've used so many of them.

Tony is this good?

but on a more realistic note,

how would that turbo compare to something like this(this is probably what i am going to get, still deciding)

This is not where i would be buying from. i have connections with a certain garrett dealer in fargo

What you have listed there is just standard old school Garret technology. The S200 flows 55lb/min which is a bit more then the 57 trim but will have a much greater powerband. What are your power goals, and supporting mods?

[KA-T_240]

when everything is togther, custom ecu, 72 or 96 #, injectors, built motor, and the other basic stuff. as far as power goals, ~350-360whp at ~15psi, and mid to upper 400s with ~26psi

seen it done with 72# and 8.5cp, i have 9:1.

Big props to Nick for performing these tests. It's nice to see one of the shops in town step up to the plate.

When are you guys going to be testing, I'd love to swing by at gawk.

Got the S200 turbo in today which we will be testing this weekend. Supposed to support up to 550hp so we'll push it as close as we can do that if not above just to see where it stops :-).

are you testing this on jeremys car or who's will this be on ect.

Both DSM and Honda we're testing on for now.

Once we get kits going we'll be testing on D and B series Honda, bolt on and T3/T4 for DSM, and then some Supra stuff as well for starters.

Just finished testing the S200 in T3/T4 form. Very happy w/ the results. We did no tuning except for on the top end to prevent leaning out. Results below.

22 psi: 466whp/307trq
25 psi: 493whp/342 trq
30 psi: 552whp/439 trq

I'll post the graphs as soon as i get them uploaded. The turbo maxed out @ 30 psi as you'll notice on the 30 psi graph. We tried 32 psi but it just didn't want anymore. Made 559 on 32 psi. Pretty impressive from a little 55lb/min turbo.

what car did you dyno it on?

[PSI2HI]

98 Gsr

thats pretty pimp good luck with the rest of the testing

[integra_gsr98]

vroom vroom.

Lookin like we'll be ordering some injectors and more fuel pump cuz there's a S300 on the way and we're gonna try max that bitch out too!! SO we'll be lookin for the 650-700whp range.

[krzydrftr93]

Ok...Im dumb with turbo's, I will admit it. So is it bad to push a turbo to its limits like that and how do you know when its at its max??

No, no harm done. Once we get the 30 psi graphs up you'll notice the airflow was maxed out based off the powerband. On the 550+ pulls power peaked @ 7000 and just held flat to 8500. Going from 30-32 psi only netted 7whp which should have been an easy 20+. This turbo is only rated @ a max of 550hp. So we met and exceeded that @ a very low boost level being these things are effiecient into the 40-50psi range.

Ok....Makes a little more since now...Ive been looking into turbos a little for the hatch...Not sure if I am going all motor yet or boost it...Need some money. Just getting some ideas for now to see what I am going to need/get myself into.
