TE45a vs.

[coach]

Hey Guys,
What is the HP rating on a 45a? What is the best stall to run with it? Lock-up or non?

Thanks
Coach

It is supposed to be a 10 flat turbo with the right combo. I run it with a 3000 stall lockup 9/11, but it spools as fast as a stock turbo on a D5. I'll try to upgrade to a 3600 stall next time I have the converter out.

Stumbled on this tread and thought I would post the link to the tests.
A lot of $$ and time invested in these tests.

I am going to have to put my flame suit on :tongue:, but IMO, unless;
a) I Missed it . . or
b) I Don’t understand, . . or
c) I am totally LOST
. . . . the test and the results in the link are inconclusive.

The result provided can not be substantiated as "any increase" because there is insufficient documentation on;
• boost numbers of EACH run and/or the method used to control boost,
• whether alky injection was used/or not used,
• time between each run to get an idea of baro changes,
• Dyno power vs rpm (Before and after)

I would have rather seen "One test" with adequate supporting information, than a bunch of tests with some meaningless numbers in this COMPARISION VIDEO. :tongue:
