lipp boss effeciency range?

[suprafanatic]

My lipp boss turbo should be here this wednesday, and i was wondering what the actualy effeciency range of the turbo is if anyone happens to know. its the stage 5 57 trim. rated for 525hp. like people say the stock ct is out of effeciency range anything over 15-16psi. and i know the lipp boss should be a decent amount higher than that.

You know you can ask that question to Greg over at suprasport right? They should know as, well, they made it!

Lots of LIPP turbo threads latley. I wonder why:dunno:

 

[suprafanatic]

cause the are great turbos!!

 

[92nsx]

Umm.... I would rather find a gt35R

 

[suprafanatic]

ya but the lipp turbos are bolt on. and im not looking for anything to big. looking to make 450hp

A GT35R is a good turbo, however it takes a new manifold, Custom DP and others to get started. With the Boss Turbo it bolts right up and you can use the factory exhaust manifold as well as intake and DP.

For some one on a budget it's a pretty good deal and will make plenty of power like a GT35R. Now maybe not the 57mm version but it will be fast spooling and have good top end.

You should be able to get 25psi out of it and be fine! That is the most that I would push that turbo though.

well i dont konw what the 35R is rated at for HP but the 57 trim im getting is good for 525+hp just depends on other mods. and the tune of course. and it will spool very quickly. The guy from the horsepowerfreaks shop said the 57 trim lipp turbo is effecient up to 35psi. thats quite a bit of boost, and i dont plan on running anything more than 24. i'll prolly be running around 18-20 pounds.

 

[frontierguy25]

You can run upto 35 psi however it's not going to be efficient at that level That is way to high for a 57. I have the 60-1 stage 4 turbo on my car and love it. It's been a good turbo so far. With 19 psi on pump gas I did 407rwhp and 408rwtq. I'm planning on running 25psi with some c16 and a better tune and shooting for 500rwhp.

 

[suprafanatic]

what 60-1 turbo was that?? i know someone with a lipp boss turbo that made over 400hp at only 15psi. the guy from the company making these lipp turbos told me they ARE effecient up to 35psi.

The 57 trim is a good choice, as is many other's. The exhaust wheel is a high pressure wheel good to 35 lbs before it is just blowing hot air. Now to get there, you will need more than just the turbo. The motor will need to support the turbo to get there. Around town I tell the customer that the Boss Turbo will wake up at 18 to 20 lbs. To each turbo there own, so what are the Boss Turbo owners running for boost? we all would like to know.

ya i would be really curious to the how much boost you guys are running on the lipp boss turbos and how much power your making? also supporting mods

The 60-1 is a great one for street racing but it is not a high pressure wheel. It has been around for more that 20 years and still going strong. It is not made to go to 35 lbs and should top out about 25 lbs.

One thing to keep in mind an upgraded CT is a grenade if start pushing it hard the Boss isn't.

 

[suprafanatic]

thats why i asked what 60-1 turbo he was using, he didn't say it was a CT60-1

 

[frontierguy25]

I have a turbo that I bought locally and had rebuilt with the boss exhaust housing. So I have a O trim or stage 4 wheel with a T4 60-1 comp wheel. With the 19psi and bad tune those were the numbers I made.

Back in the day, on the stock engine, with 550's and the Lexus air meter.. the bolt on T4-60-1 turbo from ITS with the dual BB CHRA, and the smaller compressor housing was good for 420rwhp at 18psi. (IIRC, it was rich, about 11:1)

This was using the old HKS copy of the toyota racing housing that then was copied by Turbonetics, and sold off to various re-sellers around the world. (Cast in Mexico from what I've heard.)

Basicly, it was a bolt on turbo, that incorporated at T4 bolt on CHRA flange in a CT style hot side with internal waste gate.

I ported the heck out of that housing to improve flow, and on the stroker motor, it still would act like a stock CT26, with a distinct drop off in power above about 5k on boost at 21psi.

Highest PSI I used to run was 28. (As recorded peak by the E-01.) My Omori gauge only goes to 25psi... but has peak/warning, and the needle was well over the 25 mark, so the E-01 reading was most likely right, especially as they generally were the same readings from gauge to monitor.)

Anyway, bad gas, and 28psi on stock pistons = melted piston and broken ring land.. (thought I had good fuel in there, plus some toulene, no ping or knock, just melt down..and a noisy engine that ran like crap since the wasted piston wiped out the rings along the way, so no compression on that cyc.)

From what I've seen, the BOSS/LIPP housing is far superior to the old HKS housing I had. It should make quite a bit more power, just from better exhaust flow alone.

Thanks for buying the Boss turbine housing. On the old "SupraSport Sport Turbo" the compressor cover was a"B" which is smaller than the "E" cover that is being used now.
The E cover was too large to fit and would touch the exhaust manifold so the B had to be used. So now we can make more power with the same set up as before and other changes that also helped.
