True, dyno's are just a tuning tool. For me, on a dyno dynamics I like to see gains, that way I know the tuning is actually working. Gains is what I focus on from a previous run.

 

^ so. Heard you like reach arounds? I'll let anyone (frog) know. Hahahaha .

 

exactly...390+30= 420whp, so i dont know how i was misleading???
i wont say a word anymore till i get the turbo, or a cobalt guy posts a graph about it on their car...

does an s252 give those power numbers efficiently?

 

I'll race Frog from a Dig

 

From what I read, hell yea a S256 should be well in its efficiency range.

 

isnt there a big difference between the s252 ans s256? the s252 is what i wanted the info on, but i am gonna get the wr-2 unless something else pops up before the end of the year...

 

Why don't you get a BNR? Much cheaper than the WR-2 and will meet your goals.

 

Go with BNR and call it a day. Makes good power for what it is!

 

because the wr-2 is a direct bolt-on, and makes more power...seems like people are getting less than 400whp maxing the bnr out on 93 gas...

 

The bnr is a direct bolt on and capable with the tuner you have of making 400whp.

 

Don't you have to run an external waste-gate and a BOV with the bnr?

 

Yes due to a bigger better compressor housing

 

exactly...thats why i would rather not, plus like i said, the power is more with the wr-2..its worth the $1860 in my opinion...
40rty, why are you trying to sell me on another turbo? do you not like your wr-2?

 

you dont need an external gate for the bnr

and more then likely he's trying to sell you on it .. because it's the cheapest route and it will get 97% of the people where they want to be but for some reason people dont want to go with it

 

I too am interested in the WR-2, I won't buy a turbo unless it's direct bolt on. The fact that it's direct bolt on and doesn't have the back end problems my K04+ does makes me erect!

Did you buy the turbo yet or you still considering it?

I'm holding out until I get ZFR's official price. The thing that worries me about ZFR is tranny problems. So there's a good chance I'll just stick with WR-2 and shoot for 22psi or so to make around 340-370whp on 91 octane (that's all that's available at 5800ft ) for DD and a 25-26psi E85 for race tune

 

<---------- 401WHP/401WTQ or bust.

 

well, it looks like you have it, so you didnt need an external bov and maf relocate?
Do you rave of the BNR? what kinda power are you making?

 

well, im on a 24psi aggressive tune on 93 octane, and with that wr-2 should put me above the 400whp/400wtq hopefully since im around 320-330whp now...i will be getting it by the end of the year...

 

you talking to me? if so .. bov yes.. and blow through maf.. but I have a 2.4 so i needed that stuff anyway. as far as power.. again I'm a 2.4 so my numbers are skewed I'm hitting the dyno soon

 

looooove it..looks stock...lol

 

I'll add ya to my friends then and wait for your review.

I'm leaning more towards the WR-2, but ZFR is looking good too. If the ZFR is indeed under $2000 then it's gonna be a tough call.

Anything above $2000 without a doubt it's WR-2, and well it would depend on finances too. K04+ is good, but a small upgrade to say the least

 

Could have been said already, but the PWERKS WR-2. what company is the exhaust housing and compressor from?

all it says on there website is
"51mm leading edge technology billet aluminum compressor wheel
56.5mm exhaust turbine wheel
Internal WG actuator included"

 

, couldn't agree more

 

I don't know if it would be a tough call, If the ZFR is under 2000, which i doubt it will be, it would be superior to the WR-2.

However if its over 2000 dollars then you have to decide what the extra horsepower/better quality turbo is worth to you.

 

i concur...lol
