As title really.
Don't really need to have an argument about the pros and cons or that it will suffer from eons of lag, but anyone who has actually owned/driven a 2 litre car with a 321v I would be interested to hear what you thought of the combination.
Reason I am asking is that I have a well used SC46 which I know will work well on a 2L. I also have a very underused 321v with a 58mm inlet.
I know ffrom my own experience, and been advised by a well respected tuner, that the sensible thing to do would be to use the '46. But I want to scratch the 321 itch if possible. Let me know your thoughts.

 

If I remember right the 321V is based on GT3076 compressor, cant compare directly as I had a rotated gt3076 non billet on a 2 litre, below 4k there was not much there but once you hit 4.5k it pulled all the way to 8k. This was non avcs sti version 3 heads, I say go for it try something different

 

Cheers Banny. I think we must share similar thought processes.
I don't mind waiting for the rush (a little), but I don't want it to be undriveable or 'snappy'. Whichever turbo I use will be going on a JDM engine so there will be plenty of RPMs to be had. This is a billet turbo so I would hope the response would be a little better than a non-billet.

 

Anyone else care to share their experiences?

 

I ran a billet v on my 2.0 classic Sprint car...built heads non avcs with cams

Made 525 on rcm rollers

Previously ran a rotated gt30 with standard version 5 heads and can say the 321v was an improvement with spool and power .... But prob down to cams/ported heads etc....

 

525 is impressive on RCM's dyno, as it is conservative compared to some.

 

Cheers Adam

 

Some, not all

 

What would your thoughts be on this engine/turbo combination Martyn?

 

Tried 2.1s on both the non billet and billet versions of the 321V and thought it to be a bit laggier than I'd like for road use, but very impressive on the strip.
On a 2.5 it's mega !

 

Thanks Martyn.
