You will most likely need a clutch at some point. We destroyed our stock clutch during testing, but the clutch already had some wear and tear on it. Even if the factory clutch held this power, I can bet that it won't be for a long time.450/430 needs upgraded clutch? No?
Yes, the turbine housing has not been finished. It is rather complex and has been taking a bit longer to finalize design and renderings than the rest of the components. We plan to have more pictures shortly.Yeah I was banking on prl having a good turbo option, their proto type was a drop in upgrade so I new the updated one would be as well. I'd hate to have spent all of that money on parts literally starting from intake/inlet all the way through to the end of the exhaust, and then get a kit which usually has a custom intake/inlet, downpipe, charge pipes. I already have the prl versions of all of those lol.
I'm curious what to see what this can get on the stock fuel system at a safe afr. I'll need a new clutch regardless, and at least rods and pistons if I want to go way past 400ft/lbs
Also, @PRL Motorsports is there a reason why the hot side isn't pictured?
Yes, this is exactly what this will do. Spool/response should remain similar to stock (probably a couple hundred RPM of lag in comparison), but without the massive torque spike of the factory unit.Is this turbo moving the torque band across so not to put strain on the engine like the stock turbo does?
