Littco L450 on it's way over the pond!

I thought the eqt was easily into the 400 range with a solid pump revision and maybe a little bit of e?
It is, I'll find out today but definitely a lot stronger than my is38 which was 397. Todays dyno will be pump/meth

Hoon is right there is an eqt thread we should be discussing eqt stuff on

Jon also said that car was completely out of fuel, so he may have dialed it back.

We're heading out into left field here :)

True that, either option here is going to be really great for the price, especially for stock block cars. I'm just excited to see the dyno results and real world performance, we have plenty of guys willing to get it. Fckn send it.

I would like to see more of Dan's is38x in the wild with aggressive tunes to see how they last before dubbing it reliable. There have been plenty of hybrid turbos, not referring to Dan's specifically, that have failed in the past. Also I take my car to the strip from time to time and launch at 5500 rpm so making more power on the later power band is preferable to me and spool isn't that bad. That was the point of me showing those dynos.

we have around 15 IS38x in the UK on Apr stage 2+ maps, and no issues.

We use the same thrust bearings on all our turbo's including one which ran 2.6bar for testing and currently at 2.4bar and tracked regularly.

With the IS38x the issue isn't axial thrust load but shaft speed, which is more down to VSR balancing and I can assure you that is one thing we ensure is 2nd to none.

I admit the more that our out there the better, but I consider our bearings the strongest our there including the TD06 based units.

That is good to hear. I'm not saying the TD06 based ones are any more reliable either since there isn't that many out there yet compared to stock is38s. I see where the typical problem with the is38s/hybrids are when the turbo is pushed at the upper RPMs. The OTS tunes taper while the aggressive custom tunes hold peak boost to redline.

TD06s are very good, but they are larger shafts and much slower rpms, typically around 90,000rpm-100,000 peak where as the is38s can get to 180,000 so a whole load of different stresses are put on them.

I'm not really well versed on turbos so from what you say there is less stress on TD06 with the same amount of boost compared to the IS38?

Any larger turbo will run slower than a smaller framed. Larger turbos have more stress from higher boost, smaller turbos more from higher speeds.

Built properly and balanced properly neither is an issue.

British Pound went down yesterday. This is tempting. I see the options for Turbosmart DV and Turbo Muffler Delete, what do they do? Are they necessary in term of reliability of the setup?

Not necessary. The turbo comes with a DV, wastegate and factory style muffler.

Looks fantastic. What kind of fuel was this running?

I want to see some graphs showing when the turbo is hitting full boost, etc
