18cm with 230 Plate and 370s?

[Believer]

I just put in 370s and have a 230hp plate (can someone tell me what # this plate is) and can get an 18cm turbine housing to replace my 12cm. Would that be a good thing to do?

If it's an auto it's a #8 and Piers has 16cm non-wastegate housings.

Sounds kinda like the tst #6 if I remember right.

230/605

My #8 plate is rated at 230. I would give Piers a call about the housing change

PM Gummel I am pretty sure he has a Turbo Housing you are looking for... Not what he is going to do, use it or sell it, but it's worth a try.

He's a great guy, won't d!ck you around his name is Micah.

Changing out to a 18. 5cm housing will help your egt's out some. Thats what I have done for now til I can afford a bigger turbo!

Wirenut, what does the 18 do for you regarding lag? How about boost?

 

[Joseph Donnelly]

The 18. 5 smokes more and is a bit harder to spool up than the 16. A used 18. 5 should be cheap, though, if that is a big issue. I have some of them laying around, and a couple 21 cm2 housings for masochists. Can you say "turbo lag"

What plate is 230 hp rated depends on which pump you have. The 180 pump = #8.

 

[BigYellowIron]

is the #6 plate 230 in the 160hp pump?



Sorry for my wrong answer above.



Does tst have a chart that shows this, I could not find it, I know they used to.

With my setup the lag isn't bad. It spools up almost as fast as with the 12cm and I still get 38 psi.

I just bought that 18cm housing on EBay for $65.

I'm hoping to improve my towing mileage. I have 300

injectors and a reworked Banks fuel plate. Presently getting 11/12 pulling a 12K 5er.
