What is the largest turbo that can give me 10 psi by 3200rpm. I have thought about it for a while, and I have decided that thi is the most response I am willing to sacrifice for power. Basically as long as it starts spoolin around that time. Must have full spool ( 20 - 25 psi ) by atleast 3700 - 3800, but I'd like to have 10 psi by about 3200.

All I really need from you folks is to type in the name or part number of the turbo that fits in with these requirements and I will do a search for info. Thanks.
 
Not to bash you or anything just saving some time as you are gonna have to answer this eventually.

The boost response of a turbo is very dependent on the port work, valves, bore, stroke, exhaust, fuel, air/alcohol injection, nitrus, cat, muffler, etc

Posting alot of that info will help

With the correct set up you should be able to get about any turbo that will bolt up from the shop to spool by those times.

I believe rdrkt is spooling a 56 trim welllllll before that with a 2.4 so on a 2.0 with his setup you could probably spool it fairly easily too.

I am going to start a thread on this because I am tired of seeing it....Do not let the turbo define the car...make the car define the turbo.
 
Turbo is a give ant take negotiation. No matter how much port and nos you feed a 2 liter you can't just tell a t88 it is gonna spool when ever you tell it to. I have made my decision on the leval of response I can deal with and it is stated above. To answer your question though, the car will have no less than a 50 shot, and as for port, I dont know enough about it. Will it net me a considerable amount of spool for the price? 50% chances I will port it.
 
i would suggest the 18g, or 20g.......ive seen both spool 20psi by 4,000rpm........depends on your supporting mods....exhuast, intake, IC piping...ect.........all those will lower your spool-up time.

one that will blow your motor.

spool up time is also determined by your supporting mods.

You shouldn't go around talking about blowing other guys motor's, so stfu unless you have some thing constructive to say.
 
Can any one tell me what the difference between a

Garrett T04E/T3 Ball-Bearing Turbocharger and a

Garrett T3/T04E Ball-Bearing Turbocharger

I noticed alot of shops seem to favor this turbo, will it work? What kind of spool can I expect?

Your question is poorly worded. Trying to indicate spool/lag/boost threshold performance by a mid level boost setting that you don't intend to hold is not an accurate measure.

Tell us:

Boost threshold - at what RPM do you want the turbo to enter positive feedback loop and to start making boost
Spool time - how long from the boost threshold point until you want to see full boost (whatever you consider full boost)
Lag - Is lagging between shifts a concern or not?

Answer those 3 questions and someone will have an answer for you.

Oh and continue with the smart ass remarks when people are trying to help you and I will just close the thread and be done with it.

If thats what you call help then you should probably close this thread then.

Short run is I am looking for consistant 12's with my gsx auto. I imagine I will need around 4-450 at the crank to do so. wanting to know what is the most responsive snail that can support my goals and remain streetable. Again please move along if you have nothing constructive to say.


If you need more info just ask for it. Alot of people say some thing and get all mad when they dont have all the info and act like some body did some thing wrong. It almost makes a guy not want to ask.

Just like your attitude makes people not want to answer.

You still haven't answered my questions.
 
the t3/t4 depending on what trim you go with will spool anywhere between 4,000 and 5,000 rpm......but once again it al depends on support mods, and how much psi you want full spool at........wiht about 10psi on a t3/t4 you wil probaly see if about 3500 wiht supposting mods.

And as far as the difference between the Garrett T04E/T3 Ball-Bearing Turbocharger and the Garrett T3/T04E Ball-Bearing Turbocharger, is there just reversed, the t3 being the compress or and the TO4E being the turbined......there just reversed meaning the intake is on the driver side or on the passenger side.........i believe that is what the differnce is
 
If you trully want to know what kind of turbo to go with to spool up like you say the you need to look at the tread entitled
FP3052 pictures and impressions
I think that will answer any questions that you may have regarding spool up:dsm:
 
10 psi by 3200rpm is almost unheard of i think. unless your in 5th gear at 20mph or something.

a 3052 turbo will get you boost a lot quicker than a conventional bushing turbo. being a GT dual Ball bearing center section turbo.. it spools very very well. some increases in boost on the same setup cars differ by 400rpm of full boost spool up.

just thought i'd add that.

I would agree. You are just throwing money away if you go w/ a big turbo, and are just going to run 12's with it.

Oh yeah, since you're stock, DSMTurboAWD is correct. You have PLENTY of supporting mods to perform before you are ready for a large turbo.

Also, heed Tevenor's advice. Have a nice day.
 
OHH, look out guys I have been warned by a moderator, got the goose bumps now. LOL J/K Tevenor.

Hey leet thanks for the info. As for my car, I really dont think I will be doing any supporting mods, I thought I would just put a big nasty turbo on there and see what happens. Besides upgraded injectors only give you like 20 extra hp any ways. I figure If this turbo wich can supposedly support 500 hp then I will be able to live with only like 480. That should net me 12's, right guys?
 
By the way I was so totally kidding it hurts. As for upgrades I plan on doing only fuel, ignition, and turbo mods necassary to run 12's. I am thinking big ass turbo, matching intercooler, super afc, gm maf, 600 cc injectors, 255 walbro, exh temp gauge, mbc. Kind of on a budget here. If I have left out any necassities kindly let me know. Oh yeah some nice plugs and wires. that alone tallies near 2500 bucks in just the engine, I will have to do my own work now LOL.
 
Well, not on a budget per say, but. I dunno. If what I mentioned Bfor will run good and safe, and 12's then I dont want to put money on this and that and every thing else. Mind that this is only engine mods, definatly gonna put springs shocks strut bars (all of them) and some brembo brakes to slow me down so I dont crash, LOL. As for the motor I want what makes it works and then thats it.
 
There is a big difference between 12.1 and 12.8. Which is it? Pump gas or race gas?

With the right tuning and supporting mods, you can get a 14b into the 12's. With the wrong tuning and supporting mods, you can take a big ass turbo into the 13's.
