Then leave it be, why continue to pick at it? You both (you and Mike) have strong opinions with clear or possibly obscure knowledge to justify those opinions, so just leave it be, you're just not going to agree. Jimbo's even having to put his 2 pence worth in to give an impartial view because yes, SCS were being slagged off about their dyno results.

J1mbo knows this too, but is getting distracted by all mikes other blathering on so isnt replying as clearly as he otherwise would, plus is talking about things like drivability etc which we all know anyway and wasnt the point in question.
I dont want people getting the impression that to make more power reliably they should be using a smaller housing, as its NOT the case, larger housing will run cooler and more efficiently and safely make more power.

Quite simply Chip, if you carry on then you'll just look like a kid with a rattle trying to get attention....or a complete tit!
We've all read what you think and what Mike believes, I personally prefer the .63 over the .48 because of how mine performs on it. But there's nothing else you can say except to go round in circles, which the next few pages WILL BE until a sensible moderator wakes up and closes the thread.
Just leave it be man, I'm sure nobody cares now

You are making the completely incorrect assumption that I give a flying fuck what a bunch of people on a forum think of me, I dont at all.
I do however care if threads are accurate or not.
If someone leave the thread thinking im the biggest cunt ever to try and help people learn on the internet, but also thinking that a larger exhaust housing is a way to increase a turbo's ability to safely flow more air than thats a far better result IMHO than if they were to leave thinking I was awesome but that fitting a smaller housing would allow them to run more horsepower safely.
Surprises me after so long and so many posts on this forum that people can still fail to "get" me to that extent.
Totally uninterested in popularity contests, totally interested in correct and useful info.

Lets be honest though Chip, you always have something to say, be it positive or not (the latter mostly). Its the way you bring yourself across that makes you the Passionford troll. You might hate that title, but 9/10 you are at the start, middle and end of EVERY debatable thread that leads to the infamous arguments on this forum. With respect, maybe you should keep your opinions to yourself perhaps and allow people to make their own mistakes, its how we all learn isn't it

Most people I interact with on here seem to realise my motivation on any technical thread is always just to do my best to make sure it is accurate.
Trolls want attention, I dont particuarly, I just want people to get the right info, I dont really care who it is from, me or anyone else is equally good IMHO.
There are only 2 times when that means a long debate, if I have made a mistake and take a while to realise it (happened once that I can think of so far but im sure it will happen again despite my best efforts for it not to, am only human after all) or when someone else insists on keeping on with incorrect counter information.
Also you make arguments sound like a bad thing, I disagree when they are informative, who wants to read a forum full of people too scared to say their honest opinion just because someone might get upset by it, would bore me to tears.
If you dont like longwinded debates/arguemtns whatever you want to call them, why are you on page 7 of a thread having one about not even the subject but about what you think might be the way one of its participants minds work? Surely that really IS trolling?

Aaaaaanyway
Chip you're diluding yourself into thinking that your opinion is the only one that matters. Do you actually believe that everything you post should be taken as gospal, that you're always right? Have you ever thought that these people you talk to are just humouring you because they really can't be bothered with your "I know all" attitude?
Because that's how you always come across i.e. like the top suspension mount thread that you ruined because you refused to acknowledge someone (well many people actually) who knew better than you. And please don't bother trying to pedal that it's the "only time I was wrong" because then you will look like a right spanner![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
But alas, I stick to my original post, give up because this whole thread is all about the usual debate between the same people who will never agree on anything![Wink](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
Right, gotta get off this Blackberry now and get some work done on the ward... night...

Ah don't insult my intelligence pal, there's plenty of info on this whole forum that suggests your a class A dick! Even in these (once again) countless pages of you on fine irritating form that doesn't supply info in a helpful way, but in an antagonistic drilling until people give up because of your ignorance and a thread that is once again ruined within 2 pages. So if anything, I'm surprised you're not tired of your own pathetic "holier than thou" behaviour towards everyone by now. I've always said that you seem to know what you're on about, but the way you do it ALL THE LIVE LONG FUCKING DAY isn't right...and you really think you're helping? Well then happy condescending troll boy

Again with the missing the point totally, you'll find me and Mike for example agree on about 99% of things to do with cosworth engines etc, but there is no need for 5 pages of "yes i agree" for those 99% of times, so its only the other 1% of time that gets your attention.

Well I can say many more times thats up to the mapper, but as you arent one you dont seem to understand.
If you want 400bhp@6K rpm on a .63 you can have it, then tail the boost off after that to make sure the 400bhp doesnt get exceded at higher rpm and this will in turn manage the turbo speeds for you.
Get harvey to explain it to you, or j1mbo, im sure they will both know what I mean!

You can't have a reliable 400bhp on a standard engine at 6000rpm with a 0.63 a/r turbine
![007](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bond.gif)
![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
So if you used my perfectly specced / flowed engine / high lift cammed engine as an example and capped the boost past 6000rpm to keep the turbo safe, you would have a near 400bhp peak at 6000rpm and could hold that to 6500 and then it would drop like a stone to around 360bhp to be safe at 7000rpm. However, you lose 500rpm spool up compared to the standard engined 385bhp 0.48 a/r turbo and only gain 15bhp top end. Given the HUGE extra cost a cammed and ported engine costs over a standard one, it's not exactly value for money
![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
On top of that, all you have to do is extrapolate that BACKWARDS and figure out that capping the boost in a similar way on an engine equipped with a 0.63 a/r turbine with standard cams, standard ports etc is going to produce a reasonable amount less (and the reason where I got my 370bhp figure from
![Wink](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
Didnt realise you were after one Mike.
No problem at all, unlike you I am happy to just answer a direct question!
Its simply because the exhaust housing on the .48 increases back pressure enough that it hinders flow, so the boost required to make the engine swallow anymore air goes up and so in turn limits the turbos max rpm (385bhp on a .48 is at high boost level than require on a .63 to make the same power), where as on the .63 the engine can breathe more easily and hence the turbo can spin faster as it requires less boost for the same flow, so sees less resistance on the compressor side which acts like an air brake to limit shaft speed..
So basically "flat out" is a different speed for the shaft on the .63 than on the .48 (on a YB) Its that increase turbo speed which kills the bearings.
If you fit the .48 to a much better breathing engine, I am confident it too could then overspeed, but we're just talking about boat achors with asthma here of course.

To me chip comes across as a very knowledgeable poster on here with some very good input rainbird i dont see post much but again seems to know what he is on about! To be fair there argument go,s a little over my head but it seems obvious that the larger houseing will make more power safely! But to start slating someone on a personal level (no names mentioned) because you dont seem to like them or agree with what they are saying when there points come across as valid just makes you look a knob lol

Thread isnt about a standard engine mike, the 385 I was referring to was from this engine, and its this engine that im sure would do 400 on harveys dyno no problem with a .63 instead of the .48.
As I have kept saying though, dont get so caught up in exact figures, they will obviously vary from engine to engine, the KEY thing though is that any given YB will make more power safely on a .63 than a .48 yet you are quoting 385 as safe on a standard yb with a .48 but saying that will be brought down to 370 for a .63, which was and still is nonsense.

Combined with that, as you can see by the graphs I posted up, the 0.63 a/r looses HUGE amounts of power down the bottom end and would gain only 15bhp at the top and still be marginal reliability wise due to the extra rpm it is being worked to.
Your theory ONLY stands in an exact like for like scenario, including operating rev-range. As soon as you extend this (as you have previously admitted is the cause for the overspeeding when comparing 0.63 to a 0.48), you negate the reliability you have created by putting on the bigger turbine

As I said, it may make 15bhp more, but because of the extended rev range it will be using, I don't think it would be safer. As YOU have said, the 0.48 a/r is safe because of it's natural restrictions. Remove those AND raise the working limit of the turbo by 500rpm and you loose the safety.
Combined with that, as you can see by the graphs I posted up, the 0.63 a/r looses HUGE amounts of power down the bottom end and would gain only 15bhp at the top and still be marginal reliability wise due to the extra rpm it is being worked to.
Your theory ONLY stands in an exact like for like scenario, including operating rev-range. As soon as you extend this (as you have previously admitted is the cause for the overspeeding when comparing 0.63 to a 0.48), you negate the reliability you have created by putting on the bigger turbine

I dont know why you keep banging on about the .48 being better lower down, I have driven and been passenger in rather a large number of these engines on both turbos you know Mike, im perfectly aware of that, you are making out like im saying the .63 is a better option, I dont think that at all hence I run a .48 housing myself, NO ONE in this thread has ever said the .63 is better at low rpm, so why have you now posted about 5 times arguing with thin air that it is
![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
However what the .63 IS good for is safely making more power than the .48 can, as if you apply the same max turbo speed to both it will make more power for that same speed (whatever turbo speed you happen to choose as safe, which different people will vary on hence he pointlessness of specific figures).
Bottom line is the .63 housing allows you to run MORE power safely on any given engine, by improving the turbos efficiency at high flow rates and hence reducing EBP and EGT thus making the engine more efficient too, I really dont understand why you cant grasp that when its so very very simple for everyone else to understand.

I actually now see what Mike means, i have not read any replies until now as its boring LOL, he is saying on a STANDARD engine a .63 would need to run big boost to see 400bhp but with the .48 this fictional bollocks 385bhp is running safely because of the lower rpm peak....UNLESS u heavily modify the engine to accept the air flow the .63 can deliver to see 400bhp then would mean lower boost so safer.

Modified engine - .63 can safely make more power than the .48 can
Mike though says the opposite, that the .48 can make MORE power than the .63 can, which is utter nonsense.
The rest of what he is saying is all fine
