Anyone Intrested In A Disco Potatoe?

[HiBoost TS]

Wow dude the reason I am asking is because if are cars will hit fuel cut at almost anything above 9psi and are current Garret Turbo can produce somewhere around 15psi. easily. Why get the additional power in this turbo there selling. It's my understanding, wouldn't you want to beef up the rings and retainers? So "dude" I'm just trying to see what the main reasons are for getting this aftermarket turbo?
Again thanks for anyone that can answer this question without the dumb remarks.

Pressure is not what makes power. Air mass does. The Disco Potato will make more HP at the same 9 psi of boost.

Our IHI at 9 psi makes 220 WHP, while the stock T25 makes around 170WHP.

We are working on an upgrade for the GT28RS and the GT2540R which is even larger.

GT2540R thats where its at

 

[hello2000]

I found it cheaper than that....http://www.hpautoworks.com/gagttdipo.html - $1,050.

Which one of those compare to a standard T3/T4 with a stage III exhaust, .48 A/R and a super 57 compressor? I am thinking of a GT series for later and would like something the same if not a little smaller.

it's all about efficiency. the more better that is the less heat soak you get which means you can make more power at lower boost levels then say our turbo at higher boost levels. and if i would have known that hi boost makes a kit i never even would have bothered an i myself will just buy it through them. and by the way i could have given anyone who wanted the company's info. i don't want to be responsible for anyone's money nor would i want to go through the hassle of becoming a vendor around here. everyone b****'s too much. i'm just trying to help everyon out and people start a war. i guess it's a good thing i know the guy so i can send it back. And to hi boost can you guy's list some prices for the turbo upgrades. and for everyone else you have no clue what i have done to my car so keep your f***in comment's to yourself!

What else would you need for an upgrade to the disco potato? I only have simple bolt-ons, but have been feeling a bit disappointed due to the fact that the stock turbo just won't make the power I want. I don't mind reading or researching, but just not sure where to start. So what I'm saying is, it'd like some help getting started towards some serious HP gains. Thanks.

unless you are tuning your car, a larger turbo really isn't needed. you'll blow your engine on the stock turbo, even properly tuned. a larger turbo is the last thing most owners need to think about. too many people are overlooking the short-comings of the MSP's system.

I agree with that last statement

This is not true. The small GT25 on the MSP will not give enough air flow at high RPMs so it has to over rev to get to the boost levels that some people are boosting. The engine power curve above 4800 RPMs starts to fall so it becomes dangerous to get the engine to higher speeds without producing power.

With a larger turbo, the engine will probably produce power all the way to the redline and it is less probable to break the rods.

Here is a comparasion of two different turbos we used in our P5 turbo kit. The lower curve was with a T3 Garrett turbo and you can see that the highest HP level was at 5000 RPMs (please note that even this turbo is larger than the stock GT25 on the MSP). The higher curve is with the IHI VF22 we finally decided to use in the Turbo kit and notice that it keeps going up almost to 6300 RPMs.

$1099.00 for the disco potato

So... will a GT28rs bolt on the stock manifold, and is there enough clearance?

 

[KyRaceFan]

Yes it will bolt to the stock manifold.
No its not a good upgrade unless you have the fuel system to support it.
The block and rods will handle it, but no more than 7-10 psi, which would still be more power than the stock t25.

If you are looking to spend 1000 bucks to make your car faster.
Invest in an MPI tuner, AEM EMS, Haltech, and some bigger injectors.
Or you can spend 525 on the SDS EIC. And the other 500 on good tires.

Please please do not buy this turbo as a "bolt on more HP"
Its NOT that easy on the MSP.

If you wanna go bolt on new turbos to a car, go buy a 90-94 DSM.

Id suggest people start buying more parts to make this car turn harder than go faster....

 

[Bhamsan]

I got the solution...

...EVO VIII.

 

[mspeedpro]

sorry to threadjack but what is sds eic?? i did a search but cant seem to find it. is it a wideband air/fuel monitor?

 

[KyRaceFan]

Simple Digital Systems Extra Injector Controller.
Theres a thread in the MSP engine section about injector size with a link.

Basically, it controls 2 480cc injectors that are positioned right before the throttle body.. supplying the car with alot more fuel to play with.

Trust me buddy, rods, pistons, AEM EMS, injectors, among other things are going in first.

Now anyone with first hand experience: Is there clearance for this turbo?
