The best thing with this so far is it will satisfy 75% of the Gencoupe community who are driving their car as a DD. Quick spool with such possible high HP for the announced price...
Honestly, what else can we hope for. I truly wish this project end up well and as expected. This would be incredible. |

FUNCTION OVER FORM
|
1st off kudos Joseph (cdnsigop) for taking this project on & bringing it to life. Not to overlook others that have also conrtibuted, thank you too.
This is the 1st turbo charged car I've ever owned & have been researching my ass of to learn as much about trubos as possible over the past couple of years. I ran across info on the TD04HL-19t about a year ago when comparing flow maps on about every turbo ever designed & thought to myself that this would make the perfect option for Stage2 of my build, but there wasn't a plug & play solution for the GenCoupe. I'm definately not knowlegable enough about turbos myself to make something like this happen, so I continued looking for something to fill my needs for my DD/WW until my car finally becomes a dedicated racecar. I thought alot about the BR upgrade, but wanted a little more kick than what it offered. I had finally decided to give the TD05-18G a try as it would get the #s I wanted & MAP happens to be a sponsor of mine. But with this option now out there with its ease of installment & the price point being what it is, this is a no brainer & definatley more than enough power for a DD. I admit that I will probably be looking for a little more power down the road, but with everything I plan on doing in addition to this mod, I'm pretty sure I can get this thing to perform at the upper edge of the spectrum. If that is true, I may not even feel the need to upgrade to a GTX30 series turbo. I still plan to build the bottom end of my block using forged internals & going all out on the head including a 5 angle port job & cams, but may skip on the bore/stroking as this smaller turbo won't need it the way the GTX30 would. Therefore I would save a fortune on: 1) bumping displacement up to a 2.4L, 2) sleeving, 3) tubular manifold, etc.... Quote:
So the price is $590 w/core......I will send you a pm to get an idea of shipping to Georgia. Over the past year it seems my car has been down as much as it has been running LoL, so I think I can do w/o my turbo for a while in order to geterdone. 1) I've got plenty of turbo studs (I stocked up after finding how easily they strip/break) since I work at the dealership. 2) My turbo (as well as IM & EM) have already been P&P along with ceramic coating. 3) Not sure if MAP extrude honed my turbine housing while they did the P&P, so may want this done. 4) Already have a Buschur blockoff plate 5) I will be using a Forged BOV 6) I already have CP-e DP w/Hi-flow cat, but have SS pipe from CP-e with which to delete primary cat (WOT box eats cats like no bodies business), but waiting until I'm ready to tune prior to deleting primary cat. 7) I already have PowerX module with which to tune sitting in a box along w/EvoX injectors & Synapse Synchronic BOV. I will be mounting BOV on cold pipe of Buschur FMIC piping. So looks like the $590 TD04HL-19t turbo upgrade & possible extrude honing is all I need, along with shipping of course. That is still less than the TD05-18G option I was going to go with. I WILL be getting back with you! Full of WIN in this thread!

P&P on the turbine housing will really help. I have an arrangement with GrimmSpeed, where they port the turbine housings to my specifications. The turbine housing port service they would complete for me is less aggressive than what they do with stock turbos... Most places do not Extrude Hone. It is expensive, and requires shipping the component(s) from you to them, and back from them to you, at your expense. I would be very impressed if MAP had that completed for you. Extrude Hone is able to remove material where you cant with standard port jobs. They also bring the surface finish from the rough cast to nearly a glass smooth service, along with opening up the ENTIRE passage being serviced. Their method, along with their very careful measurements, means the turbine housing is NOT suceptible to cracking as a result. They end up removing approx 1mm from the entire circumference... Quote:

Thanks for the Kudos. I dont deserve it! I did not reinvent the wheel, guys! I just pursued what others have abandoned. The 19T is an upgrade superstar on some other platforms. I simply applied logic and experience, and brought this turbo combination back from the dead on our Genesis platform... I decided their was no reason to swat a fly with a sledgehammer... |

with all the fueling needs(return system, pressure regulated system etc..) to create tunes on and currently no one in South Florida is running E85 for now.... With that said i believe down the road(next 3 months or so) i should have the ability to tune up E85 for this turbo upgrade, but to be honest it's not really needed, 350whp can be had using 91/93 no problems. |

PowerAxel module tunes for this upgrade will cost the following
New PowerAxel Module + tune($749) Your own PowerAxel module for your car(you already own) + tune $150.00 If you have a module that you bought used and it's locked contact Arvin to get it unlocked and then contact me and i will get you the tune. If you already own a module and it's already locked to your car, i can remote control your computer and put the required tunes on your module, this also goes for the locked modules after you have had Arvin unlock your module. |

I know there is some debate on if the entire fuel system would need to be switched out as i know a few people who run it in their STI's with no mods(other than pump and injectors) while others wouldnt touch it until after all is said and done. I still havent gotten a definitive answer, but i would rather be safe than have my car stranded, or worse yet, on fire. While im extremely interested in this upgrade, my funds will not allow for it until at least next year. Or should i say the GF wont allow the funds until next year. lol So waiting 3 months is no problem for me. Gives me time to get parts together in preparation. |

Update:
Smoke is currently getting tuned with SFR. He was one of the original 3 test pilots... he gave me the results of 2 of his runs SO FAR: 226 whp at 10 psi 257 whp at 15 psi Still waiting on his final results. I want to see his 20 psi numbers! This turbo is maxed out at approx 29 psi. The target boost for a DD with this upgrade should be around 20 psi, +/- 2 psi. This turbo will still be very nice and efficient on our Genesis up to around 25 psi... |

Nice work guys!
Do you think the stock engine internals can handle 25psi? |

Back to your original question; IMO, the internals will handle the boost just fine, so long as the tune is done properly, correct fuel is used, and so on. We are talking 280-340 whp, and many have pushed the Theta farther than that... Last edited by cdnsigop; 08-29-2011 at 09:00 AM. |
