Hi fellas.

Quick and ably.

As far as the only turbo goes,not including my mods besides the fact the target is up to 650 hp. Which turbo from Garret series will be better solution (if any is) for this horsepower range,for street driving to achieve faster spool (not track use as you see,just have good fun when you drive with quicker appearing spool sound) than T04z being in the same loundess range.

I read about gt35 gtx35 and gt40,but still I should ask someone with more experience before I let my money disappear.

Any ideas??

 

Thanks in advance for replies.

niZmo- at least t04z is more responsive than t51r in that kind of rpm range i will stick with.

Ben34- Not exactly.If my main goal was to aim the sound only,i wouldn't go 650 hp.This is not just track use car,and the project will be top notch pure perfection so every detail has to be on the best level i can reach because thats what I want.

So why choose old tech turbo? Makes no sense at all. It's 2020, not1998

But you're entirely unfamiliar with turbos out there?

You have a lot of research to do.

Kings of the Castle are the Garrett G series or Borg Warner EFR. I would err on the side of the Garrett for livability reasons. They're physically smaller for the same power. They are fairly spooly. You won't care either way given how much better performance they would provide over a T04Z.

Thanks Kinkstaah.I have gt3582r in mind because it fits my power goals and what i have read,spools faster than the most turbos in that horsepower rate.

" So why choose old tech turbo? Makes no sense at all. It's 2020, not1998 "-  Im not just the guy who forgets good old parts.I take everything into consideration.

The GT3582R is ALSO an old tech turbo. The other options you have been pointed to are mush better.

Buy a modern turbo, send cover to these guys. All the noises, all the responses, all the chops amd no gay lag from dinosaur turbos or gay twin turbos.

On any given engine, with the turbo matched properly to provide the same maximum power, that simply cannot be true any more. The EFRs are ALL about response. The G series Garretts have smaller wheels for the same flow than any of those previous gen GTs.

The GT3582R may well be the fastest spooling of the old tech turbos, but that don't mean a thing when new tech comes along.

      So.....wire it up appropriately. You can't use the resister pack with those injectors anyway.

      ahh okay cheers, i was thinking of just going for the m073, think m079 would be way too overkill considering they are same size.

      My first car was a HG. I'm very familiar with them. A mild cam upgrade is a good idea. The 186 is a very flexible engine - meaning it has good torque from down low. You can give up a little torque down low for quite a lot more excitement in the mid range, and a bit more up top - but they are not exactly a rev monster. You need to upgrade valve springs at the minimum. For a bigger cam, you'd want to make sure it wasn't still running the original fibre cam gear. That would be unlikely, given that most of them shat themselves in the 70s and 80s, but still within the realms of possibility. Metal cam gear required. Carbies are a huge issue. The classic upgrade was always a Holley 350, which works, but is usually pretty bad for fuel consumption. The 186S had a 2 barrel Stromberg on it that was very similar to the one on the 253, and is a reasonable thing if you can find one, and find someone to help you get it set up (which is the same issue with setting up a 350 to work nice). The more classic upgrade was twin sidedraught CD type carbs, or triples of same, or triple Webers. The XU-1 triple Webers being the best example. You can still buy all this stuff new, I think, but it's a lot of coin to drop. And then the people able to set them up are getting fewer and further in between. There's still some, but it used to be everyone's** dad and uncle could do it. **Not everyone's! But a lot. All in all, I wouldn't get too carried away with the engine. Anything you do to it without a full rebuild for power and revs will only make it slightly faster. I am all in favour of a complete teardown rebuild, with nice rods and pistons, 10 or 10.5:1 compression, and a clean port job with at least a big enough cam to run 98 with that compression, if not bigger. And if I did that to a dirty old red motor, I'd want to inject it too, which I'd struggle to fight against the devil on my shoulder that would argue for ITBs and trumpets. But the bills would start to mount up, and it will still never make stupid power. OK, a few people still know how to build absolutely mental red motors, courtesy of the work that went into HQ racing and modern knowledge being applied. But even a 300HP red motor is no match for an RB20 with a TD06. So you have to decide what it's worth to you. I'd just put a set of 6>2>1 extractors, a 2.5" exhaust and an electronic ignition conversion/dizzy on it and just run the old girl like the fairly slow old girl that she really is.
