Ya more than me with the 7163 too.

 

I'll probably never push it more than 400 lol

 

Then why change the wheel it will do that as it sits with a better spool

 

The 11 blade et wheel will move more air at the same rpm as the cast 6 blade non et wheel. More power from not pushing the turbo as hard if I understand that correctly

 

Yes true you will be in more of the efficiencey range but it will take longer to spool and 400hp is very doable for the stock blade I would leave it stock you will have a better spool and a longer powerband. I think that ET blade is a lot of overkill for your 400hp goal

 

It's always nice to have more room to get more power than to stretch the stock where's limits on pump gas. That's the big factor here is pump gas

 

But with a 525hp capible turbo you'll hit 400 fine and then you still have the option to move up to the different wheel later if your goals change

 

Meh, options are always nice to have lol

 

You got it. That's why my smaller turbo moves more air than yours.

 

If I would have bought the GTX30r, it has the same size compressor wheel as the GT35r in the GT30r package with a faster spool time than the GT35.

 

I bet you'll end up running 450ish

 

Honestly, I'll be happy with 375ish lol

 

For about a month lol

 

The bigger the turbo you get the more you'll want to turn it up

 

Hence why I'm getting that et wheel lol

 

Wwll Jon I know i need some parts to catch up to you anyways but with that wheel you'll have more power than me if you ever want for sure because that will flow 5 lbs/min more and with the ported head and cams it'll be a beast. i thnnk you'll show Blue a thing or 2 too if you want to tune it that way

 

Haha that's fine by me. There's no replacement for displacement. I wanted a fast spooling, streetable turbo set up. And that's what I built. Any more wanted power won't be in a fwd cobalt.

 

Ya I totally agree I love the ZFR and what it does but I don't like how it breaks transmissions so easily so I think one step bigger will spool a bit slower and hit the trans less I don't ever want to buy a fast spooling turbo just to put a boost ramp on it

 

My buddy went from a 2871 extremely reliable set up to a 3076 with his lsj t. He said the 2871 set up was much more fun to drive. He also tore out 3 3rd gears due to how the 3076 came on to boost.

 

really bigger turbo spooled so fast it took out 3rds? We'll see hopefully may what the 7163 can do. When's yours going to be running?

 

That 3076 when I went for a few rides I found to have nothing when you got into it then once it started to spool it would hit hard and pull. That's the only guess why he kept chewin out 3rd gears. He threw in an F23 trans then blew it up like 500k later. He got fed up and bought a new Camaro haha.

As for my car it runs and I've driven it. Few little things I gotta fix I saw immediately before it's real boosted maiden voyage but all I'm really waiting on is the insane amounts of snow we have to melt.

 

I hear ya it's +5 here staring sat for at least a week I'm finally gonna get to work on my car. Later this month Im getting a new laptop then I'll finalized the tune for this turbo

 

Thanks Jonathan. We just made a deal for the exhaust parts that I need

 

Anybody know of a good place to get ceramic coatings done?

 

Top gun coating in the N.E. cost me $65 to get my turbine housing coated
