Ya john your right. The reason why I dont agree with the bigger wheels is that I believe it compromises more than it compensates for. Im sure any Mechanical Engineer can tell you that by putting in a bigger wheel in any housing that is not designed for it will not be as efficient. Yeah you might get good gains, the inly reason why some of the guys on here have just as good spool time is because they have the right supporting mods.. Im talking about a stock srt-4 with a stage 3 versus a stock srt-4 with a modifed stage 3. There are alot of underlying facts here, such as what you have done to your motor, what gas your using, all kinds of stuff. Im not going to believe that a big wheel stage 3 will spool as fast as a stock wheeled stage 3 because its going against basic physics. The only reason why you get close to stage 3 spool is because of your motor not the Turbo to a certain extent. Hell I bet you could get better spool then stage 3 if you didnt have the bigger wheel and have all those motor mods.
Also do you not think the bigger wheel stage 3's put more stress on the manifold then what it was designed for? How about the Housing?
So you dont believe that, well how about the fact that modding a car limits the life of your motor, theres really no good advice to tell you about getting extra horsepower out of the stage 3 without porting the head and adding cams and gears. I think that would be the best advice.
The best way to get power and keep reliability of your turbo kit, would to port it.
If you want to put alot more stress on the turbo kit, put a bigger wheel in it
Here are my credentials,
I'm getting ready to Graduate from CU/ Boulder with an Architecture degree and getting ready to do my masters of Architecture. What do you have?
