100% VE:
2500-17.727
3000-21.273
3500-24.818
4000-28.364
4500-31.909
5000-35.455
5500-39.000

at 85%:

2500-15.068
3000-18.082
3500-21.096
4000-24.109
4500-27.123
5000-30.137
5500-33.150


But also keep in mind that this is not m^3/min rather lbs/min.


m^3/min at 100% VE with 6psi you'd be at:


2500-10.768
3000-12.922
3500-15.075
4000-17.229
4500-19.383
5000-21.536
5500-23.690


85% VE you'd be at:

2500-9.153
3000-10.984
3500-12.814
4000-14.645
4500-16.475
5000-18.306
5500-20.136


As you can see, on 2 psi, 4 psi, you'd be spooling the turbo by 2,500 K but these numbers don't take compression ratio into account. I also used a temp of 85º which can and will change. It aslo looks as if a 2.0 Pr and around 8-9 M^3/min would be somewhere in the middle of the *island*. It takes roughly 150 cfm to make 100 hp so in order to make say 300 hp you'd need roughly 450 cfm. 9 M^3/min would put you in the 320cfm catagory but this turbo would be capable of 17.5 M^3/min max. Any way you look at it, you've got alot of math to do before you even start welding lol

What are your HP/Tq goals for this motor/ I think missed that?

As you know, stock is 200 hp, 275 lb/ft. With the bolt-ons that I have now, I am guessing my engine is pushing around 250, as *gasp* a G-meter that I have was rolling up 202 hp to the front wheels. With the turbocharger, I would like to add another 80 or so hp. That would be considering that I remove all bolt-ons, return to stock values, and add the 80 hp to that.

As for the torque goals, 80 would be good too, however it may happen to work out.

As for the math, I'll leave that up to you I am barely passing College Algebra and cannot stand another polynomial to the tenth degree...If you understand what I mean... So if we can translate the jargon you've just jotted down (sorry for that term, but I hate math), the turbo should start to spool at 2500 RPM's?
