2.4 with a t88

[1stgsx1990]

I am going to be building a 2.4 for my gsx and what a huge turbo. I was just woundering if, i could spool a t88 with a 100 shot for spool up. I want to be able to spool by 6000rpm can this happen or am I just wishing it can. And yes before you guys start crack on the question yes I am kinda a new around here.

a t88 is rather huge..

100 shot + 2.4L could spool it, but honestly I dont see much need for that big of turbo..

if you want huge downsize that a little to say a t-66 or t-76. t-66 could be street driven and still make 600+ on turbo only.

, my friend with a toyota supra has trouble getting his t88 to spool. you are going to want something smaller. look, research your turbos. you dont need something massive to get good times. could you probably get it to spool? yes. but by the time you got it to spool youd pretty much have to shift again. i would be looking at something smaller.

For you, no, it won't spool it. If you did get that setup, you'd end up making a post like "Why Can't I hit Bewst??!" and we'd end up figuring out that you don't have any IC piping for weight savings, or that you routed your compressor outlet into your water pipe.

Bewst. .

if a huge turbo is the way you wanna go, take a look at the FP 3065... that thing is huge and its probably one of the biggest turbos you can get to spool on a 4 banger.

since i drive my car daily im looking at the FP green

i like it cause its big, but it will work as a good street turbo. should be able to take on the local trans ams and evos after i have that.

I think a T-88 is around the same size as a GT-42R which is 95lb/min wheel. I know Marco was using that and it got him to the mid 9's without nitrous. He was running 10:1 or higher compression and had quite a manifold I believe. You're probably better off with something in the 65-75lb/min range.

I would hardlr classify the 3065 as huge, especially with the smaler turbine wheel. People have run the t66 withh good success but I think a gt35r with a bnig hotside would do you right. Full boost a lil before 5k and the capability to put out over 600whp on boost alone.

talk to a guy named "scooter" on here, he has a turbonetics T-76 on his dsm, its insanely huge heres a pic


he will tell you helpful information, good luck I hope I helped some I love the thought of a 4 running a T-88 sends chills down my spine

the 3065 and gt35r both have the same comp wheel

thats what i thought?

 

[nanokpsi]

Yep..... but the 3065 is limited by a small turbine wheel and a small hotside, both of which hurt power potential. Not knocking the unit becasue it is a vey good turbo for us. Just letting yopu know why you don't see many 600+whp 3065 cars and you see lots of gt35r cars making that power. Even though they use the same compressor.

 

[BluemeanieTSi]

the wheel is smaller but more efficient and you don't see a lot of 3065 600+hp cars because it hasn't been around as long, one of them went into the 9's recently i belive. bigger does'nt always equal betteer

 

[herostar]

I'd stick to something that flows more in teh 65-75 lb/min area. If you get it tuned and running well on the 2.4L you will be 10's or even 9's (if you're a good driver). gritsak ran an 11.3 on his 2.3L with a 60-1 (60 lb/min) at only 21 psi.

If you don't think that the small turbine wheel hurts you, then why do you think they offer the 3565 now with the 35r chra and turbine wheel? Also, the hasn't been around long enough just doesn't hold water for me. Especially When Fp did the R+D and has their own dyno. Not to mention access to fully built cars for test beds. Don't you think a 600+whp dyno sheet would be a stronger selling point than the 560 whp dyno sheet that is currently there of rhte 3065?

 

[BluemeanieTSi]

time doesn't matter when it comes to technology :rofl: do you go and buy the first thing out on the market when it comes out? if everyone did that we'd all be running around with 1k dollar intercoolers on 2gs that have piiping that covers 1/3rd of it up

on a side note the 3565 isnt listed on their site where is it? or do u have to ask for it

quote from fp about the 3065
"It is too small for applications where 600+ whp is a serious goal. On the other hand it is big enough to run 145+ mph / 550-585whp and small enough to produce 1.28 60' times while offering a boost threshold around 4200rpm on most cars."

Look under where they have the CHRAs for sale. You have to call and ask for it but it is more expensive.

The only thing where time would matter is the number that gets into public hands. Dan Cokic (sp) from pruven had it well before it was releazsed, as I am sure many other serious racers. If a car is going to make 600 to the dround do you think it is going to be you or me that does it, or is it going to be one of these other guys that already has their drag car set up. That is all I was trying to say. I actually think it is a great product. One that might find its way into my engine bay.

Also, going by ET is kinda dodgey in my book (saying one car has run in the 9s). 60lb/min is enought to put a full weight car into the 130s, so i would hope a gutted drag car could get there.

Thank you sir

FP offers two turbo bigger than the 3065 that aren't advertised on their site. One is the FP3565 which uses the same 65 lb/min compressor wheel as the 3065 but the turbine wheel is a GT35r instead of teh GT30r. This turbo comes in a BB CHRA still.

The second turbo is called the FP3575. It uses the 75 lb/min 66.7 compressor wheel mated to a GT37 turbine wheel. This turbo is not available in a BB CHRA because FP does not feel comfortable mating the smaller GT35r shaft with the bigger compressor wheel. Garret does not offer the GT37 in a BB CHRA.

 

[BluemeanieTSi]

Thank you sir

that puts it right with what i want out of it over 500whp under 600whp

the 3575 that one doens't have the mits housing does it? i thought i saw that one under a garrett setup, i dont' think i'd go bigger than a 3065 on a street car tho

All of these turbos (including the 3575) are still flanged for a Mitsu housing.

i saw the option of the 35r chra but it was another 900 bux if i read it right...not worth it in my opinion.

he was originally talking about a t88 and a 100 shot, i dont think it is going to be much of a street car? not a fun one atleast
