Turbo Choice

[SHUTO-BOY]

Hey guys,just got my internet connection,nice to c u all again

Im just not sure of what turbo to get.My current snail is already extracting 245hp on the wheels but we all want the power.I want like a drivable,wider power band turbo.

Im looking into a t3/t4,but i want to know other options.350hp-400hp would be nice,what do you think?

A t3/t4 turbo is not going to get much more than 330rwhp, but they do bolt on so there is no change of manifold. I personally would go for either the GT28 or GT30 series, but I'm after big power:D

See'ya:burnout:

id go for a T3/4. its so much easier to upgrade to this, and cheaper. and doesnt leave you with an undriveable laggy turbo

youd be surprised how fast 330rwhp actually is. itd be good enough for 12s and to be fair thats fast enough for most people!

344 rwhp will throw you down the 1/4 in the 12 sec bracket all the time. 344hp = 250kw or there abouts. Thats DAME quick, just ask me

bit laggy tho

Just to expand on the topic.

What is the best turbo to use, that has the same or better characteristics as the standard (low rpm boost, quick spool up, etc.) and makes bigger power and bigger torque? Hope you understand what i am trying to ask.

Or is it better just to hi-flow the standard turbo with a sierra-sierra combination on the compressor and exhaust sides?

Al,

The GT2530.

We have a nice little bolt on Hybrid built up that flows 430hp @ 1 bar and is a straight fit internal gate job. I've got one on the Stagea and it spools up just as quick as the stocker. The good thing is its quite tractable on 7psi so you dont need to upgrade everything else at the same time. A point of reference the stock AFM maxxes out on a cold night on 7psi with this terb...

Thanks REV210!

How much rwkw (approx.) would this give me, at what psi?

How much torque can i expect (prefably as a % over stock turbo, eg: 45% greater torque)?

when this turbo upgrade is done, the car will have the following mods:

- Wolf3d V4 plug-in

- fmic

- cold-air intake (sealed box with 4" drain pipe from hole in front bar)

- Adjustable boost

- heavy duty ceramic/brass button clutch

- 3" exhaust system (from turbo, with hi-flow cat and straight through muffler.

- sard 550cc injectors

- Bosh fuel pump

- Bosh fuel regulator

- Ceramic coated: ic pipes, turbo housings, ex. manifold, dump/front pipe, etc)

Would i need any other mods?

Would i need any other mods?

to achieve what exactly?

[Al]

Jash (GTAAH) Thanks!

How mush ($) am i looking at?

Is this a BB turbo?

Will it fit on the stock manifold?

Is it a hi-flowed stock turbo?

PLEASE refer to post addressed to REV210, and if possible kindly answer the questions listed, taking into consideration the mods already, or about to be fitted, on the car.

THANKS AGAIN

SHUTO-BOY

Sorry if i taken over your thread, but i think this type of information could also help you.

BTW with the first six mods listed (the rest are yet to be completed when i get the turbo) i am making 210rwkw with alot more low to mid range torque/drivadilty thanks to the wolf3d.

I would seriously consider any type on engine management b4 the turbo upgrade, just to get the mixtures right. I have already seen 2 R33 with blown engines, due to bigger turbo's and poor tunning. Just my 2c worth.

To complete the upgrade.

i reckon edwin should just get a T3/T4 turbo for the mean time and get 250kws and when he gets used to it and can handle it he can go on looking for more power and sell the turbo to me for 200 bucks.

"Power is nothing without control". heheheh.

[JUDGED]

The Godf4th3r speaks with much wisdom, plenty of newbies to the world of big horse power have come a guttser getting use to more power oh oh oh

[G0DF4Th3R]

haha yeah but its true

i admit that the first time i drove my R33, i was suprised by the power even though it was stock standard. im not experienced or anything but im humble hehe

[C-Red]

The complete replacement turb is a BB, new. Its custom made to our specs by Garrett and is a nice little unit. Needs custom oil and water lines but everything else bolts up.

We are looking into getting turbo's remanufactured but its proving to be quite an operation, apparently they can be done with BB Cores now, but they are 2200 ish which makes it not really worthwhile.

Thanks again for your reply, but still alot of questions left unanswered. If you have time please refer back to my posts and answer all questions, if possible.

THANKS

Alan

[macka]

Jash if you can sell them for $2k even 2.2 like u said that maybe ok because the key here is they bolt up no intake and dump alterations which makes the whole operation so much cheaper

BTW id like to know wheel sizes of the BB Turb when u answer Al

Rev210 the 2530 will spool fast cause its a toy turbo. 2540 isnt far behind!
