What company makes these turbos? What are the advantages?

How can a turbo have zero clearance in the impeller? Wouldn't it just be stuck?

I am looking to upgrade the turbos, intercoolers, DV, software, and exhaust and wanted to educate myself on the different options.

Thanks.

You need to talk to kevin.

 

Talk to Sharky, he has Stephans (Imagine Auto) amazing zero clearence turbos, I heard that they have 93% effeincy if I am not misteaken.

 

I have them to and love them. They are nasty baby?

 

But the program isn't ready yet for it.

 

Come again?? I thought there already was a program for them??
My car is going to Stephen/Kevin as soon as my bodyshop is doen with it to get these bad boys on
600 HP was not enough LOL

 

maybe I'll be the first to find out

 

I'm gunna make that 10 second pass soon I think

 

Sharky, if your car did not have monkeytronic, how much faster would you say it would do on the 1/4.

 

Well to be honest, I've watched that video over and over now with friends and everyone who was there (you can hear it in the commentary) was saying that the launch where their software screwed up and they didn't log had the best launch of the day and was faster than the 11.1 that I got. Obviously I don't have the high mph like Tyson but I do think that was possibly a 10.9/11.0. Certainly better than the 11.1. If I didn't have the monkeytronic my car wouldn't be as consistent but by the they only recorded my third run. First two they didn't and the car just gets slower and slower as it heats up so who knows... And yes gearing would be different (aka my first wouldn't suck so much). Tough to say. Of course, there are a couple of other tricks up our sleeve for the track (not sure if we will/won't do the throttle body) so that I can hopefully come back with that 10.9.... It's within range. Then maybe with newer software rev's who knows. I can certainly shave some more weight. I'll use the straight pipes also this time...

 

Keep working Monkeyboy cause next year your a** and tyson's is mine! The RED BEAST is undergoing some serious training for next year!

LET'S GET IT ON!

 

Buddy: I'm serious now ... I like you .... but you scare me.


Really, you scare me! How fast do you wan't that son of a ***** to go?

 

Any plans for getting a custom GIAC Program based around the Zero Clearance Turbos any time soon?

Tim,

I was watching some show on TV last night and this guy had a Corvette with like 1200 hp! Man I am not even close to that yet!

 

"1200 hp! Man I am not even close to that yet!"

Buddy, if you are sending your car out and tearing it down, properly done, you will be close. Mine is stock so I really don't know for sure.
