could someone point me in the right direction?

You will not crack the SS Tial turbine housing driving through water LOL. If you run through water deep enough to damage the turbo, I'm certain you'll also crack your engine block in the process, so the turbo will be the least of your worries.

Curious as to why you put the turbo that low though? Water won't be an issue but since this car doesn't really have a great unserpanel, have you considered all the crap flying up from the road?

The turbo sits higher than you think. it's just the camera angle:

Right on! Much better in those camera angles.

i submerged a ct26 more than once and it didnt blow up. In fact i think its still running somewhere.

How on earth did you manage to fully submerge a ct26?? mr2? That would mean half the entire car was submerged. Even if it was a Celica, thats crazy water depth... You sir sound like a maniac!

it was attached to a 22re in a 91 toyota pickup lc engineering built 2.7 stroker.

@Zach3794 here is at 330whp with E60 on the base (9psi) C30-94 kit, and can chime in here. my guess is that the high boost C30 would be able to push over 350whp without major problems (on E85). the C38 could do this as well IMO.

It will be easier to do with a turbo, and you will have headroom (depending on turbo size) though.

Yeah I'm at 332whp on E85 at about 9psi on the C30 rotrex blower. I have yet to install the smaller pulley, but since that e85 tune isn't even finished yet I think we'll easily get to 370whp on the C30 at 13 psi on E85, perhaps even with the stock header still.

Man i wish BC had E85. since the OP is in florida, E85 should be pretty easy to come by. you're still on the factory header? thats pretty crazy thanks for the info.

[Zach3794]

Yeah, we stopped trying to make more power there because the clutch was slipping. After we replace the clutch I'm expecting about 20whp more without changing anything else, then an additional 20-30 from smaller 13 psi pulley.

[FreshFRS]

Is that the stock clutch that is slipping? and that seems to be pretty on point. what do you expect to push with the bigger C38-81? low boost 370ish? high boost 400+?

i have NEVER seen e85 anywhere here...I don't really see e85 as a viable option for anyone who dd's their car...I am everywhere on a daily basis and the thought of having to rely on trying to find a station somewhere that had e85 scares me...How could you take a road trip or go anywhere further then the stations you know 100% carry it.

Really? well if we had it up here i'd probably map out my route to take advantage of it. so pump gas it is.

the turbo is going to get you more power overall. but superchargers have their niche, i like the way they put power down linearly.

i had a 400+whp turbo s2k and really didn't like the way the power came on, just comes down to preference i suppose.

either way you go you win in reality, as long as the tune is safe, it's going to put a huge ass smile on your face for a long time and thats what really matters haha

As I said, "it's not likely". It's do-able but way more work than it's worth hitting 350whp with a supercharger on a small displacement engine like this. Turbos are ideal for small displacement power and it'll be a lot easier to hit your goal. 350whp is bearing a zone that I highly suggest you look into at least pistons and rods for long-term reliability.
