Q: Bottom Mount Single Turbo Responsive Setup

[r0nd3L]

Sure, here are a couple. They're not the cleanest, but they're the best I could find in my mountain of saved logs. I'd go out and grab a few better ones for you, but sadly my tires are showing cords, so it'll have to wait

No worries, that is perfect, thank you! Looks like good 500RPM slower spool, but probably a ton more airflow.

What AR were you running on that log? 18 psi at 3.1k rpm is absolutely awesome for a ST.

This is 0.83 T3 divided. It's definitely responsive and fun to beat around town. Will see how it feels with E85!

TBH, I don't know why you're looking at swapping to a single. Mildly upgraded twins will fit your requirement much better and give far better transient. Also there is far more of a tuning base history as well as being lower cost of entry.
These engines are not spinners. The low grunt is where they excel. Use that.

I am running the ces motorsport bottom mount kit with garrett gtx4088 turbo on full e85. Car has no/to little lag tuned by @V8bait. I have seen many n54 single turbo cars and you need to get close to 4k rpm to wake the car up or to start spinning the tires. I run 315 size tires in the rear and car rips as soon as you get on the gas pedal. Unfortunately i can’t provide with good data as my built motor that i ordered from Ghassan never ran good from day one, smoked like a chimney and cylinder two fills with oil on idle. It has tons of correction so i never went past 20psi so i don't grenade the motor. Motor will be sent to a real engine builder @Billiam and will get fixed pretty soon.

In my opinion if you want a daily single turbo you need to get a bottom mount twinscroll (manifold and turbo) to enjoy the car. For drag race you can always use a nos shot to wake the turbo up on top mount setup.

How was the fitment on the thermostat, charge pipe and air filter coupling?

All fit´s great, the kit is really good designed.
