GLH vs moded Challenger

[Opticon]

My Turbonetics Super 60 came with a .63 A/R. If you aren't breaking up on the dyno or leaking boost and you are running a .48 A/R turbine it would be the first thing I suspect.

Everything else in your intake/exhaust path seems to support 300hp.

I'll look into that. Thanks

I found it Spiro...

S60 specs:

Compressor housing A/R .42
Exhaust housing A/R .63
Compressor inducer 48.5 mm
Compressor exducer 60 mm
Exhaust turbine diameter 48 mm

If you don't wish to purchase the whole kit, S-60 turbos (along with a wide variety of other turbos) can be purchased from Turbonetics. Again even more so then the regular "plus" unit this turbo in a 2.2 daily driven situation will feel very laggy compared to a stock turbocharger. The ideal combo for a 2.2 engine & daily street use IMHO is the S60 compressor housing & larger wheel with the .48 exhaust housing BUT this will limit you to 250-270 hp. The .63 housing is REQUIRED for 270+ hp!! Clipping the wheel or installing a larger turbine wheel will not remove this obstacle, this has been proven time and again on the dyno. The 2.5 engine on the other hand responds well to the S60 turbo and its larger exhaust housing due to the fact the 2.5 engine has torque to spare and has higher exhaust flow demands.

Is the info stamped or taged on the turbo anywhere?

You can tell by looking at the housing, the flat part is wider and if you look inside the turbine entrance, its either stamped there or on the outside, .63 a/r.

Guess what I am doing tomorrow evening! Must have a picture somewhere.

Spiro, I can see the .63 stamped on my exhaust housing from the top of the engine bay, it's looking right at me located on the throat @ the gas entry point.

Thanks Mike, In my face .63 A/R.
So back to square one. I will try a different cal.

[168glhs1986]

Have you done a compression test? Could be a bad cam!

Speaking through experience Mike!! :-)
Check your pm.

No, you must have me confused with another #168 owner

So, modded GLH vs modded Challenger.

[spiro440]

So, $ 4000 omni vs $ 40 000$ Challenger.

What are your dyno numbers?

if that question was for me, i havent dynod it yet, i put everything together ran into some electrical issues got fed up and parked it for sometime until a year ago. but ive been recently getting heavy back into it. only different is i dont have a cam, or header or for that matter a modded head. i just ported everything (head, 2 piece, exhaust mani) lol but i have a .63 a/r s60, stock valve train ( wanted dependability for dd use ) but its been mildly ported. shoot ill be happy with 250+

you have exactly the same setup as mine except im 2.5!!!! good to know the outcome
