Dom 3 or Dom 2.5 or Dom 1 or FP Green? Want ~400 whp with quickest spool? 2.1 stroker
I'm having a hard time deciding on a turbo. I want to be in the 375 -400 whp on pump. I want to have spool as near as I can get to 4k. (4.5k sounds reasonable)
This is going on a fully built: 2.123 L ej205 stroker mild port and polished ej20 heads. BC 272 cams. BC valve springs. Can it be done?

I got the Dom 2.5 for my stroker, and even though it's not done and running yet, I got it from Treystoys and he had it on a stock JDM EJ207 v8. He was making full boost by 4k (20 psi I think?) and was just cracking into the high 11.98 area on the 1/4. This was on 93 oct. and not even custom tuned. That was without the spooling goodness of the stroker.
From my research, I don't think you will get 375 whp on it though. I think you would need a 52lb turbo or more to hit that and this depends on what dyno. I always get tuned on a Mustang where stock sti's make 220 to 230whp. Sometimes I wish I wouldv'e got a Dom 3 instead, but I haven't even run the 2.5 yet. It just seems all my other turbo's left me a little disappointed in "numbers" and made me wish I went bigger. Although despite lower than expected numbers, the car hauled ass. The problem is there's not much good data or graphs on the strokers, so choose wisely . I already have the 2.5 so I'm just going to stick with it and se where I end up. |

No love for the DOM 2?
I'm running the DOM 2.0 which is the same as a DOM 3.0, but it's not ball bearing. It is a 52 lb/min turbo. It is on my built (short block, stock EJ255 heads) motor. I was tuned this summer and on e85, at 21.5 psi, I made 373 whp on a mustang dyno with an ambient temperature of 107 degrees (AZ summer FTL). When it hits, it hits HARD. The spool is not bad, especially with the 6spd. I was at ~20psi by 4000 RPM. If you find one for a good deal, I would definitely recommend it, but if you're looking new, then pay a bit more and get the DOM 3 with the ball bearings as it is a more robust turbo. Also, don't forget that there are a lot of things that can aid spool. You can EASILY reduce spool RPM by coating/wrapping (or both ) your headers, uppipe and compressor housing. Porting in these areas will help a lot too. I've seen spool decreases of 200+RPM by retaining this heat in the exhaust system. I have not done this yet, but I will be doing it soon. EDIT: My dyno graph. The scale is all wonky and the dyno's boost gauge is off (reported a max of 20.8, but other tools measured 21.5 psi). Anyway, the green curve is the boost and it was right around 19.9 to 20 psi at ~4K rpm. I need to get a better plot. Better plot without boost: Last edited by kpluiten; 10-23-2009 at 11:34 AM. Reason: boost not torque... it was late. |

Well, most Greens tend to fall in the 360-380 whp range. The 7cm OG Greens can spool at 42-4300 on a stock ej205. A Dom 2.5/3 might hit full boost at 45-4800 rpm, and make a touch more hp. However, you have a different animal. The extra displacement should help spool, but the cams would hypothetically slow spool. I have no idea to what extent those two factors might cancel each other out.
If I were you, I'd either: A. Go rotated gt3076r if you haven't already got all the intake/exhaust parts for an upgraded stock unit. You probably do though, in which case it wouldn't be the best idea to sell off a perfectly good uppipe, downpipe, intake, intercooler, etc... B. If I could buy a brand new turbo, and wanted to stay stock location to go with other parts already upgraded, I'd look into the new Dom 3 XT-R. It's like the Dom 3 in that it's ball bearing Garret components, but it has a billet 55 lb/min compressor wheel. That's a 3 lb/min increase, and a billet wheel means it's lighter weight which could potentially help spool. The current format includes a new 10cm exhaust housing. Honestly, with the 2.12 liter motor and wanting decent spool, I'd ask for an 8 cm housing unless you want to run it over 8k rpm. C. If you're looking for a used turbo, find a good deal on any of the turbos you mentioned and get a good tune. They'll all be pretty similar and a good deal would be worth more to a budget buyer than the potential 30ish hp difference. Also, they all do well on race gas if you find that the pump map just isn't cutting it sometimes... |

gt3076r would be the bomb on this motor. whats your red line going to be set at? and do you have higher compression?

the things i didnt like about stock location is that man.. it was a pita installing this turbo. the stock location inlet sucks. none of the less working on a rotated kit is by far less complicated and roomy. |
