Anyone had experience with these engines?

Im going to be changing my 2.5 v6 for one of these but im after a little tech on them,

Mainly what do they run like on 2.5 management and do they run ok on nitrous.

the 2.5s seem to love it so im guessing a 75bhp shot wont hurt to much?

Hobbits is a 3.2 on 2.5 inlet and ecu etc I think.

Only makes the same power as a none turbo so no point

Has hobbit ever had his on a dyno, im just curious on whether the engine will actually perform right on 2.5 management

[Mazz]

iirc Hobbits is a mismatch of of the 2 engines, 3.2 bottom end on 2.5 heads & inlets, with the 2.5 management

[david dixon]

Yeah Hobbits are 2.5 heads.
The 3.2 will be fine on 2.5 management, just use a adjustable reg and a wideband to get it spot on, The c25 inlets are well tuneable too.
V6's love nitrous!

Mine only made 175 at the wheels on the rollers, but I don't think the fueling is right.

[Danb1987]

What did it equate to at the fly then dude?

Im gonna see if I can borrow a wideband to get it set up, where should they be 12ish?

[Hobbit]

No idea what wheel hp would be, but power started dropping off at about 5k

less power I think lol

Hotbit, don't you use the cav inlet on yours? I'm sure I read once that was a pretty crap flow compared to the omega/3.0 inlet...

[Hobbit]

Did consider swapping for the vectra inlet, they look prettier too.

mine runs, c25xe ecu, inlet, heads, x25xe rocker covers, and z32se bottom end.

[maddogdaz666]

Mmm I have a Signum 3.2 V6 elite to break and a vectra GSi which I may break. Mmmmm my brain is going crazy now with possible plans on the cavalier GSi!
or if anyone has a nice complete C20XE and F20 ill do a deal :)
