Hmmmm, seeing all these dyno numbers has got me curious to get my 80 on a set of rollers and see what the safari kit makes.
Do you know the specs of the turbo you are running? Like the compressor size, turbine wheel size, and exhaust housing size?Hmmmm, seeing all these dyno numbers has got me curious to get my 80 on a set of rollers and see what the safari kit makes.
Agreed. I don't know a ton about turbos on gas engines, but the exact specs on the turbo and the engine timing could make a larger margin of difference than expected. It wouldn't be an apples to apples comparison so couldn't take much from it. While we are on the subject, someone wondering about the PT kit should pay @NLXTACY to pull the front shaft and lock the case and do a 2wd pull to see what the dyno measures compared to the full-time pull.I would imagine it won't be too much different from the afters with this kit. +- 10%.

Me too. I was told 300-ish and that seems pretty reasonable. It accelerates with authority, not as quick as the Vette, but definitely respectable.
300ish awhp would be pretty unrealistic but I have been wrong before.
To be clear, I would not expect 300 awhp. Maybe around that in PT mode, certainly plausible at the crank. I'd love to take mine to a dyno and see how it performs, since the turbo system is basically brand new. I will say it's definitely biased to torque, nice and flat across a large range.
No I don't. Safari isn't forthcoming in providing any information. I believe it's some derivation of a Garrett GT35 with safari's own exhaust housing but that's all I know.Do you know the specs of the turbo you are running? Like the compressor size, turbine wheel size, and exhaust housing size?
I don't know if this video was posted before but it came up on my YouTube recommended videos. Also does anyone recognize it or the plate?

But it was a HKS turbo they used, pretty big like a 72mm, but the boost wasn't all that high.
I checked through all the docs I have, including the Safari installation manual, and no turbo specs. If I get my head in there that deep, I'll definitely make a note of everything I find.
FWIW the turbo will keep up with my wife's 2019 Veloster turbo which has 200hp and is just under 3000lbs. And while the Corvette is definitely faster, it will hang on surprisingly well. The amount of power the Safari makes is pretty impressive. With the attention to detail that @NLXTACY is putting into this, I'm sure it's going to be in the same ballpark.
