precision turbo

[syrushcw]

precision turbo how are they and how do they compare to Garrett. Yes Ive searched and pretty much all I came up was vendor stuff and help me!! threads

 

[DJYoshaBYD]

Your real decision when it comes to these 2 brands, as they are both the shit, is not who is better than the other, because you are going to get mixed results.. I have seen, installed, and felt both types, and they are both great..

The question you need to ask is "How fast do I wanna go?" Because the choices between the different trims, sizes, and prices are going to make your head spin!! haha.. Tell us a little more about what you want out of your car, price range, daily driver or weekend beast, etc.. That will help us point you in the right direction..

 

[dSmgs-T]

would you want mitsu bolt on, or t3/t4 flages? although you can get pte in both ha

 

[syrushcw]

t3 flange gt35r Im going with its an all track car

He's not asking aboot mitsu turbo's.. haha

 

[DJYoshaBYD]

that sound's juicy.. do that..

 

[dSmgs-T]

alrighty then...

 

[syrushcw]

that sound's juicy.. do that..

I should do garrett gt35r?

 

[DJYoshaBYD]

si.. I have heard and felt great things from that turbo.. They are something badass, but the one I felt was on a SOHC VTEC hatchback.. 12 second daily driver, that was..

 

[BoostFrenzy]

He's not asking aboot mitsu turbo's.. haha

He's talking about the flange style. Not the turbo itself. IMO, both companies (PTE/Garret) make great turbos.

Both PTE and Garrett use Garrett cartridges. PTE simply makes their own Turbine housings for the compressor. You can get many different types of housings from PTE including (but not limited to) Mitsu bolt-on housings, T3, Divided T4, etc.

So, essentially if you buy from garret direct, or PTE, you are getting the same turbo.

ahhh.. interesting.. I didnt know that.. I love this forum.. haha

It is indeed a great place to learn.

To the OP:
What are your goals for your GSX? What type of racing do you plan to do? This kind of information will help us help you choose the perfect turbo.

There are many options, my favorites being T3 GT3076R or 35R, FP30s, Borg Warer S25X, Holsets HX series... all of these turbos have great potential. It all depends on your price range, and goals.

Well Ive been doing a whole build build price was around 25k and see where I end up i might drive it on the streets but right now it has BC stage 4 cams :-/

 

[TSIMonsteR]

Well, with those cams, you are going to want a turbo that can really breath in the upper RPMS. At that point I would take a look at the T3 Borg Warner s258 or larger turbo. Really anything 35R size ore larger would be ideal for those cams.

Are you going stroker or sticking with the 2.0? I would assume 2.3/4 since the rather big cam choice

 

[syrushcw]

Its stroked

VIP Garage: Borg Warner S258 Extended Tip Turbo
in the t3 .70AR or better

or

Modern Automotive Performance :: DSM :: Turbochargers and Accessories :: Garrett :: Ball Bearing :: Garrett GT3582RL (GT35R) Turbocharger 640hp
with the SP cover and the .83 T3 housing

Thats a lot of money though so make sure to research it to death. That should at least get you in the right direction. You can't go wrong with either turbo in my opinion

Punishment Racing actually sells a GT35R package for a decent price, you may want to check it out as well:

Have you considered other turbo choices? Seems like everyone says get a gt35r. I have a gt35r and I hate it. It is absolute rubbish. If your using cams like that you must consider a turbo that breathes well were those cams shine, that is 6000+ RPMs. I would recommend to you, keep in mind this is just my 2 cents, you look into a gt4088r if you like Garrett turbos and you want to stay with a ball bearing turbo. Or that you consider PTE (precision) 6876 large shaft. It's a journal bearing turbo, supports upwards of 800hp and costs less then $1,000 with the ported compressor cover and .96 A/R T4 turbine if you know where to shop.

 

[TSIMonsteR]

why do you hate the 35R? Keep in mind that he is using a stroker and will not be able to rev very high. I would say that he is limited to about 8500 RPMs without significantly affecting the longevity of the motor. (based off of topics I have read here)

WOW!! You are the first person I have ever heard say they dislike it!! haha.. What don't you like about it, just out of curiosity?

I really dont consider that alot of money at the rate that its leaving my wallet now

 

[syrushcw]

Yes when I first started the build I was actually looking at the GT42r and have worked my way down to the gt35r from what Ive read.

Ok, before this whole thread goes completely awry. . .

Who told you all to compare your turbo to rpm ranges??? A very large high flowing turbo may spool later in the rev range of a PARTICULAR setup. But an inefficient smaller turbo will do the same. Buying a turbo for a slow spool speed because your cams are high reving cams is asking for a peaky powerband that isn't even broad enough for WOT 1/4 mile runs.

Also, stroker motors like "bigger cams". So don't think that high rpm cams are designed for smaller displacement engines that HAVE to rev high to generate the same flow velocity. It is all about air velocity. Stroker motors develop much more velocity at lower rpms then 2.0L motors, so they NEED more duration (bigger cams).

syrushcw, what is your goal? You chose 288 duration cams. You clealy don't want any street time vs. a 272 or 280 cammed stroker dsm. . .

90laserRSfwd, I'm not calling you out. . . But your experience of the gt35r can be questioned. How's the tune of the car in which your rode/drove? What were the mods? Resulting airflow? Boost? Your setup: no SMIM, weak clutch, stock tranny, valve springs on the weak side. There's no way you could have come close to pushing the SCM6152e you sold (gt35r compressor and turbine). Your goal of high 10s with c16 has been easily eclipsed by that very turbo with other setups.
