Im Looking For A Good Turbo To Throw 400-600 Awhp And Not Take Forever To Spool Up. Any Suggestions Or Expierence????

search theres probably about ten thousand threads, but if 400-600whp is a 200whp gap where are you looking to be. 400whp can be obtained from a well tuned evo16g and all supporting mods, but if your looking for 500whp, you may want to go hybrid(full garrett). You may want to also update your profile.

Slight wise ass but here goes. Get the biggest turbo you can fit under the hood and then add a progressive nitrous system to elemanate the turbo lag and get it moving.

Yep, there you go!

What I use to do ( but only because i have an EMS that allows it ), is to have the N2o ( a.k.a. NAWZ ) kick in at 3k under full throttle, and then shut off when teh boost hits 20 PSI. Of Course my computer allows me to control it that way. But you could always use a couple of hobs switches and few relays along with some good thought and make it do the same thing without having to buy a 1500 + ECU.. Plus, the nitrous lasts a lot longer when only being used for spool instead of a straight power adder. Now days i wish i hadn't sold my setupor id be sing it like that again and not worry abot lag.

As for the turbo...are you looking for 400 on pump gas then 600 on race gas or just anywhere in those ranges? the more power you want to make, of course is going to mean slower spool times. At least for the first 15-16 lbs, then they all pretty much climb fast.

If you use the "nitro-spool" method, a good turbo to get ( at least IMO )for that range of power outputs would be the garrett t-64

Of course there's a lot of "newer" turbos that i'm not familiar with. Like the FP's and teh garret 30 series, which i have just recently been studying from recomandations on this board that should be very competitive to the T-64.

For a street driven car i would recomend an EVO16g or a "worked" 20g, but those won't get you the 600 you're after. But, on race gas and higher boost levels, you could have teh 400 out of the 20g. But, you also need to count on more than just a turbo for your power or you'll be dissapointed... Cams, porting, good exhaust and all the supporting mods to hold the power will be a must. A stock 1g bottom end and head are good for 450 and even a bit more but reliability becomes a factor.

Okay this post is long enough and i've started drinking so i'm stopping here before i get too babbly and my grammar gets too bad.

GT42R attached to a Revhard T4 manifold with a 100 shot to spool it up..

Turn off your CapsLock would be a suggestion. And there are more "which turbo?" threads than the search engine can count.
