Batmowheel turbo upgrade?

[rex113]

I was looking for options to upgrade my turbo and be able to maintain the stock appearance and have it bolt on with no modifications. I came across a thread about the batmowheel, but no one posted back about how their trucks performed with it installed or any H.P. gains,did I miss something?

Do a Google search on the batmowheel, I've read a whole lot on how it helps down low but kinda sucks on the top end. But it would be nice to see actual before and after dyno with just bolting it in.

They offer one for a 20G now. Those wheels are pretty pricy, can probably upgrade with a hybrid for the same amount or a lil more and end up with something better.

I ran a batmowheeled turbo for many uears with no issues. Ran my first 10s with a 62mm veraion.

Re: Batmowheel turbo upgrade?

Most of the people that have been running our turbos have been posting on the syty FB page about it.

Low end is improved because spool up is instantaneous with the BMW, and so does top end because it makes boost more efficently so they don't run out of steam after 60-70mph like the stock turbo. They will continue to pull hard right through 100mph. And will make less heat in the process. We've seen 30-40 degree drop in intake temps on dyno pulls vs stock wheel. We've also seen 40rwtq gain on the dyno at equivelant boost levels.

HTH.

With nothing else touched or changed, Just drop the wheel in and go?

Re: Batmowheel turbo upgrade?

The batmowheel upgrade is by far the best, albeit the most expensive. There are cheaper billet options out there, but they won't perform quite as well as the Sport machines upgrade. PM if you'd like to hear some cheaper options.

Sportmachines is by far the best option, however.

How hard is the wheel to change? would you need to remove the turbo form the the truck? .. thanks in advance!

You can do it without pulling the turbo. Pull the downpipe and the compressor cover. It's much easier to just pull the turbo to do it.

anyone know the size of the Batmowheel ?

trying to figure out if I want to go with the batmo or a to4e compressor wheel

Good luck getting any answers on this forum.......its like squeezing a stone for information:tdown:

may be why sticking LS engines in these shit boxes is getting so popular ...you could just stay on LS1 tech

So you posted a question one day and a grip the next?? Talk about instant gratification...lol... We're a little different over here than on LS1 tech... Lot less of us over here:2cents:

To help you with your question, the stock SyTy compressor wheel is known as a 17C in the Mitsubishi world and has the following dimensions:

Inducer: 48.3 mm
Exducer: 68 mm

With saying that, the BatMo Wheel should carry the same dimensions (since the compressor cover needs no machining) but may have longer vanes.. You can send Sportmachines a message and I bet they would have your answer for you..

Hope that helps you with your "Shit box."

Would like to see actual dyno results of just the batmo wheel replacement and tunning. Nothing else touched

It would be nice, but I haven't see any dyno's posted in a long time and their are only few of us posting track results. On top of that, it seems their are many syty's which a tune that isn't dialed in.

I would rather see before and after runs at the track over dyno results. I know of a couple SyTy that were dialed in at the track and then brought to dyno. At the dyno it was further dialed in only to run slower at the track. Dyno's don't seem to load the engine similar to the real world.

I would be totally satisfied with track results of this upgrade. Just need proof to justify the cost of this upgrade.
