My friend Ryan Mosley went 6.31 in the 1/8 with a TE45A. That's about a 9.94 pass in the 1/4. He has a 109 block with aluminum heads front mount and all the other goodies.

Im sure he can chime in. Ryan WAKE up!!!!!!

there are no cons on this turbo......you need a healthy stall converter (3600 or so)

just asking for the "best performance" won't tell you much (too many factors like car weight, combo, location etc)

I was able to make over 600 HP with a TE-45A (10.7@128, 3700 lb car....) with iron heads

Was that 600 at the wheels? Why stop at only 24psi? Crank it up!

Boost is measured at the manifold. So 30psi on a stock motor is~20-24psi on a motor with a ported intake and heads with big valves. What you need to look at is what is the cylinder pressure. A stock motor can handle more boost pressure at the manifold since it has more restriction befrore entering the cylinder. Where as a motor with good flowing heads will let you achieve the same cylinder pressure with less manifold boost/pressure.
I just got done building a motor with PP& big valved heads and at only 10psi it feels like 20psi on the stock motor. I will never see 30psi again without race fuel.

Chris Mcdade is right. Ryan Mosley's (hipsi2fly) car is kickin' ass at this moment with a Te45a and belive it or not i think it is a p-trim exaust housing as well. That 6.31 pass was relativly low boost and alot has been done since. There will be a video in the works coming very soon that shows the true potential of what a 45a with a excellent tune on F.A.S.T. (done by Ryan btw) can do...

I've seen it with my own two eyes

 

[hipsi2fly]

yea, the car has been faster now and the boost is @ 22 w/ no gas 6.13 @114 w/1.37 60 it still has plenty left

 

[Chris McDade]

I call BS....There is no tranny in the car right now

 

[hipsi2fly]

maybe u should have come to the track the last 2 weekends instead of laying on your couch!!!!!-car is @ southern customs getting a ,ake over on the paint and body-i will be back out in 3weeks to go a 5.99 biatch!!!!!!!lol

 

[Chris McDade]

If I see that car go 5.99 I will buy you dinner

You better save it for BG so you can make all these non believers......believers

MPH is the best indicator of HP ( if your inquiring on this turbos capabilty, this is what you should be looking for ). The TE45a is a top notch turbo--no doubt! I have gone as fast as 130 mph @ 27 psi in the 1/4 w/ my 3,600 GN. Turbo was a P trim w/ a PTE .63. Motor was a girdled/capped 109 w/unported GN 1's and stock headers. ECM was modded w/ an Armstrong chip. HTH, Brian
