personally, i think the t25's are great turbos for daily driven street cars. my old nissan 1.6L had a gt25 on it and the response was great.....almost instant torque :) you may also look into using a larger turbine though, some of garretts turbine maps can be found here...

on my street car ('91 nissan sentra), i added a stainless steel sump to the original fuel tank. i used a hole saw to drill holes in the bottom of the tank. then i tig'd the sump to the tank so that it surrounded the holes. my reasoning for the holes, is that they act as a baffle of sorts. there...

try looking into LP-EFI or propane electronic fuel injection conversions....this is the more expensive route, but will give better performance than the propane "carb" conversion kits. some info http://www.ccities.doe.gov/conference/palm/pdfs/petrich_biphase.pdf javier...

for instance, this is a "sleeper" with a 20*10*3" anodized intercooler. javier http://www.full-race.com

interesting, thanks for the replies. the reason for the anodizing is for more of a "sleeper" look. here is an example heat exchanger guts javier http://www.full-race.com

as the topic states, im interested in how anodizing AL effects its thermal properties. the application in mind is a front mount intercooler or heat exchanger used on high performance automotive applications. does the anodization reduce the thermal conductivity? does it change for different...

some pics of the finished part :) javier do it right....don't go half-fast http://www.full-race.com

thanks....i will try this tomorrow and post some pics :) javier do it right....don't go half-fast http://www.full-race.com

edit: welding process is TIG javier do it right....don't go half-fast http://www.full-race.com

hi everyone. does anyone know what filler rod to use when welding a cast iron turbocharger housing to a 1018 cold rolled v-band flange? does the housing need to be pre-heated before it is welded? here's an example thanks javier Custom Turbo Applications http://www.full-race.com

welders that run off batteries? sounds interesting. i use a miller maxstar 200sd (inverter TIG). FWIW, it only weighs about 35lbs and is extremely portable. javier Custom Turbo Applications http://www.full-race.com

if a 304L, 321, or 347 ss pipe is mandrel bent/cold worked, then is it more susceptible to corrosion and the associated cracking at elevated temperatures? the part in question is a 321 tight radius mandrel bent tube used on an automobile exhaust. its a turbocharger exhaust were high...

TKengine, u have email. javier Custom Turbo Applications http://www.full-race.com

thanks.....let me run some calc's javier Custom Turbo Applications http://www.full-race.com

is greater than 100% possible? the eq's i have found are: VE=2*(mass flow rate_AIR+mass flow rate_FUEL)/(intake density*displacement volume*engine speed) or VE=1-(exhaust pressure/intake pressure-1)/(ideal gas specific heat ratio*(compression ratio -1)) i believe these eq's are for NA...
