I have an e30 with Vanos M50b30 (m54b30 rotating assembly)stroker with S50 Cams,
MlS 0.140 cr nearly 8.5
Rapid spool exhaust manifold
3"Exhaust
Ebay Aluminum Intake
M60 throttle
0.9 bar on HXsuper40/Hx35 12cm (I guess this is equivalent to Percesion 6060 )
With MSpro on 93 oct
The virtual dyno is showing I m only around 400 whp (actually 380-400) which I think is too low
Is the 12 cm exhaust housing holding me back ? was expecting 450 at least , or am I too optimistic ?
now I m going to raise boost to 1.3 bar and add Water/meth shooting for 550 -600whp
shall I go for bigger exhaust housing may be 14-16 ? or shall I upgrade for HX52 (70 mm compressor ) /16 cm housing ?
its weekend street racing car , But I d like to have responsive turbo than a sudden rush of power at the very top end (rev limiter is 7000 )
your input is highly valued

12cm is like a T3 .70AR I believe. I think you would benefit from a 14cm or .84 open. Do you have a link to your turbo ?

Its a Hybrid turbo , that I did :-), took the compressor side from the HX super 40 (6 blade ) and the exhaust from HX35 12 cm
I searched alot and got his :
compressor :Ind 60mm/86 Ex
Turbine: Ind 69/60 ex
everywhere I search I found they claim that the 12cm exh =0.82-.0.89 (which is hard to believe :-))
what shall I expct form a bigger Exh housing ?
is it worth it go to HX52 (70 mm ) ?

I d be okay if i was an m50b25
but with the extra capacity for the M50b30 , I think its a little bit on the low side
I think those #s are about right. 400whp from a holset 6060 is good power. Must hit hard.
Maybe find a 62-64mm turbo and you will add a 100-150whp. Don't go too big, or your bottom end will suck.

Your results are about right for that size turbo. It will take a lot more than 1.3 bar boost to make 550-600 though. That's a pretty small turbine on that turbo to make more than 500whp. I would expect it to make 500 whp at mabey 1.5 bar or so. 600 might take a lot more due to the small turbine and compressor. I don't think going to a larger housing will do much for you.
I have a small .70ar housing on my holset, granted my holset is a 6764 hx40, but i doubt the housing is holding you back, I would crank it up to 17-18psi, shouldnt need meth for an 8.5:1 comp on 93 at 17psi.
Your numbers sound right but i would rev it to 7250.
How big is your downpipe and exhaust? Are you open wastegate?
You should be able to make 500 whp with what you have now by just turning up the boost. If you want more than 500 whp I would look into something larger or upgrading the holset you have. I don't know what is available in Egypt but there are companies in the US such as turbolab USA that have upgraded turbine wheels and compressor wheels to go in your hx35 that will make a lot more power.
We have nearlly most of the holsets here
I dont mind importing things from USA (Actually most of the turbo build was imported from USA )
What turbine size do you suggest for 12cm hx35 for.550.whp ? (I m on stock m54rods ) 62 mm ? 64?
I d rather have an efficient turbo than raising boost

Would he be better off just going for a HX40? Not sure what the wheel sizes are on them (and there are a few variants). The turbine would be a lot better matched for the compressor though I think.
A super 40 wpuld work perfect, the turbine is 64mm and they spool quick.
Will Right now I intend to get back the 64 turbine wheel from the HXsuper 40
with a T3 0.82 Housing
and I ll get 64 comp with machined housing form turbo lab
making a 64/64 turbo ....
right now I have full spool at 3rd gear at 3400 ... how late approximately shall i expect spool to be ?
Time to revive this thread, I pulled the trigger and got a 67mm compressor wheel and housing from turbo lab ,
will have that matched to a HX40 exh 14 , to finally have 6764 turbo ( was inspired by e36 Hater :-) )
will update you once I get it settled
Would I see any benefits going to from 3" to 3.5" Dp at my power goal ?
Sounds good, at 600 whp there will be a sizable gain going to a 3.5" exhaust. Probably 30 whp or more, and will spool slightly quicker. Even a 500 whp car will pick up quite a lot going from 3 to 3.5.

My Bad , I was asking if changing the Dp to 3.5" while still having the rest of the exhaust 3"?
The rest of the exhaust is where the gains usually come from. Exiting the turbo you have velocity, therefore you can get away with smaller DP, but at the exhaust expands and cools, you need bigger area + bends. You would be better off having a 3" DP and going 3.5" for the rest. Or 3.5 the whole way.

Its time to update this thread
I got the Holset 6764 exh 16 installed
And got a whole 3.5 dp +exhaust
Open dump Wg
And
WE Reached 650 whp/577t
I guess at 1.5 bar with 93oct +Meth inj
I m getting some major boost creep bow with RS mani
We dialed it back to 600 whp for now
And I m happy
My main concern now is I get full boost at 4500 which I think is kinda late
I have an ebay Aluminum intake manifold
Could that cause later spool ?
It seems that e36 hater is getting earlier spool than me although the 2.8 rather the 3.0 (bearing he has smaller exh and Twin scroll )
Twin scroll makes a HUGE difference. Also, displacement helps for sure.

Not the best photo but you get the idea

This is what we settled at now
21081957_10203761043622515_1569774159_o.jpg
Is there any thing to be done to get full boost a little bit earlier ? like at 4000 RPM ?
I m using EBC and MSpro3, with 13 psi spring
