F7P or F7R turbo

[Coops]

Coops when i finnish my high comp iTB'd car would there be any issues with me building a plenum and joining you turbo boys... why do turbos run low compression?

Andy

yes there would be an issue mate!lol, if u stick with the high comp pistons it'll blow summit out the block in seconds!lol

n/a uses high comp as theres a limit to the mass of air you can get into the engine, so the higher comp means this is compensated for by compressing it more in the cylinders for more bang!hence more power!

forced induction is just that, us turbo boys get one hell of alot more air into our engines so we dont need to compress it as much to get the power from it as theres more there!which is why its pants off boost as the engine has essentially lost power untill the turbo kicks in!

so you think it best i dont run a T2 just for a bit more power with 12:1 compression ratio?

[Coops]

probably best you dont no lol! not if you value your freshly rebuilt lump!

:D

suppose thats what the spare block is for

Low comp iTB'd Turbo... will have to get bored of bodies first tho!

My 37000 mile valver lump would be ideal for turbo'ing.... :D

Actually, low comp is purely to reduce risk of detonation (pinking). The lower the compression, the lower octane petrol/higher boost you can use.
