A single CT12A making 30 lb/min. Hah. So why did Toyota have to put two of them on a 2.5L engine?
There's still a fella up here in Minnesota who I said I'd give $20 if he finishes boosting an NA crossfire. I'll offer the same to you once I see the dyno sheet!
Could be the easiest $20 you ever made...$40 if you make 500 bhp using twin CT12A turbos. Prove me wrong!
i was saying that was at the edge of its efficenecy. the ceramic wheel comes apart long before you can reach pressure ratios to achieve that flow
they will pull 20-23lb/min within their shaftspeed limits
nowhere did i ever say i was going after 500hp... i was saying on paper in a perfect world, thats the combined airflow they could make.... but in the real world its significantly less, not to mention our motors wont take all the air they can be fed at one time.
i am simply aiming for 300whp. a nice conservative number that makes it a fun street car... as i am heavily involved in hosting and working drift events, this crossfire gets slid an awful lot... and trust me, the car needs a major kick in the *****
and i just got the turbos.... the guy said the were ct12s but they are actually steel wheeled ct20b's off of the us 2jz
