In short, the GC is the best turbine in terms of price and power output.

I currently have a 340i w/ GC turbo tuned for e50 hitting roughly 580whp but black Friday came and gave me the itch so now I'm waiting on the GC+, let's see what this thing can do, hoping for close to 700whp on fbo stock motor. Love my GC so far so let's see what this GC+ can do!!!!

The gc turbo dyno graph from vargas showed 600ftlb max torque and falls off in the top end. The gc+ can make over 600ftlb torque in the top end. What is stopping us from making 600ftlb torque x 6500rpms / 5252 = 742whp. Why do people talk hp when talking about the limits of stock motor. Isnt hp just a function of torque? What are actually the causes of broken rods and pistons? For sure detonation. Forces? (torque)

I have placed an order for a GC for my 540i G30. I have also ordered a TU hpfp. Hope I can get 600hp at the crank with that setup on E30. Wil give numbers as soon as I get the parts mounted

600 at the crank is pretty reasonable. I missed that on the first read through and was going to say that 600 at the wheels will be tough to get to with that setup, would be at the ragged edge. You definitely have picked a pretty economical way to get some fun power. Good luck with the build.

The first weak point is the pistons. typically the piston itself cracks (too much pressure) or the piston rings/ringland break against the cylinder walls (too much heat) |

Do you guys think 600 whp is attainable with FBO, GC, dorch stage 1, and custom e40-e50 tune?

bumping this for anyone who has things to add.
I've seen a couple posts on the b58 facebook group have their bearing on the pure 800 go out causing it to leak oil into the exhaust. I'm sure it's isolated cases and they are known for having a good warranty but have any of you experienced it as well? |
