Cylinder head talk is great but I think that deserves its own thread lol

Still no clear winner on what turbo I should run. 6466 is good no doubt but I'm looking for something water cooled and that won't burn oil like my 6266. Asked @V8bait about his impressions on that 9180 EFR car he tuned a while back but no reply yet

Go garrett GTX3582 gen 2 cheaper than the gtx3584rs but is a 67mm turbo that can make some power

Wow that is surprising. So are Garrett compressor maps really conservative?

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't 80 lb/min around 800 whp?

Do you know why it is burning oil? That is not normal afaik...I would go with a Garrett if I wanted water cooled which I don't think I need as I don't track my car. The cheapest/easiest would just be a rebuild of your precision for $700 bucks or whatever it is, assuming it stops your oil burning issue.

Here are a bunch of turbo flow rates not sure how accurate they are: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/evo-x-dyno-results/692309-turbo-flow-rates.html

I did compression test and used oil analysis on the motor I'm 99% sure the turbo is burning oil. It doesn't burn oil at all when I drive it normally but when I do pulls it burns oil. Nothing crazy like clouds out the back or anything I notice the oil level go down one click after beating on the car for a few days.

Talked to a few performance shops and the general consensus is "PTEs make jam but they smoke"

Interesting that is the 1st I have heard of that. Is that the reason you want to get rid of it? I mean oil is cheap ;)

I'm looking at getting into some road course / HPDE stuff, non water cooled turbos don't really last in those conditions afaik

6266 is doing great for now besides the oil consumption I have no other complaints with it. But I don't expect it to last forever

ive always seen PTE's smoke etc.. atleast they dont like to explode as much anymore :)

Get a BW unit IMO the s366 on the 2j car has been through hell and back at drift events, HPDE's, and auto-X. It didnt mind going into a wall etc.

the s257 on the 1j car just recently lit on fire (broken feed) and its still happy as a clam.

both of these are on dedicated drift/track cars, are'nt water cooled and live on the limiter :)

BW stuff is good. EFR all the way, esspecialy given we already have all the coolant ports etc..
