Turbo Sizing Question
Turbo Sizing Question Alright here's my setup to start with, i have a Forged 370 Short Block, Stock 317 heads, 220/216 116 LSA Cam and a ITS 72mm with a .96 A/R
I was on forced Inductions Website today reading compressor maps and it looks like i'm only gonna get 10psi out of this thing
Is that right???
So i started looking and searching and i am thinking that i'm gonna have to jump to an ST80 but with or without race cover and what do ya'll think???

What RPM do you plan to shift at?
I think an ST-80 would be overkill for your setup, A properly sized TC-76-78 would be better.
FI even has a sale on the 78mm TC units for 999.00 right now..

so i looked at the T72 map and with a Pressure ratio of 1.68 the turbo is well beyond the right side of the graph and at 1.82P/R i'm still not at the required 70lbs
I Thought so at first but i want to set my Shift points above 6500 so that equates to 62lbs at 10psi and 70lbs at 12psi

Its not that it won;t make more boost....what happens when you dive off the compressor map is the outlet temps will soar and efficency drops like a rock. Also when it drops, that means turbine speed has to then be much higher per psi gained, which also means back pressure climbs FAST. Its all about a complete system on a turbo, which means both the intake and exhaust have to work together.
I am really trying to stay in effeciency range, i may have a deal to get an ITS 80mm for now as an almost trade for my 72mm so that should do a touch better till i get the fundage for a 85+
