want to no wat sorta power i can get out of a std t25 on a ca18det

i would go t28 gotta be more there..

Hi mate
I never dynoed my car with the factory turbo. But, considering a CA puts out 130 flywheel kilowatts at 7psi from the factory (approximately 100-110rwkw depending on driveline losses and engine condition), it would be reasonable to assume that you would see somewhere in the vicinity of 115-135rwkw on 12psi (3-5kw/psi extra boost).

There are plenty of assumptions in the above but hopefully it gives you some indication of what's possible.

What I found was that anything above 12psi was pretty much pointless as it didn't seem to make anymore power. I assume this was due to being out of it's efficiency range and simply making extra heat rather than horsepower.

I'm still running the standard T25 with just things like a frount mount, 3" exhaust and a diffrent computer at it makes about 150kw at 16 psi, but that's preety much its limit.

nice cant wait to get the ca in my coupe
thanks for the info im lookin at upgrading later on to a disco potato t28 and a few other things when i have funds and a rebuilt bottom end :)

my old sedan made 122kw atw on 10psi
it was standard with a 2 1/2 in exhaust, front mount and a pod, that was through an auto too
