If you want to go alll the way go FP3065 or FP3055 direct bolt on. But gotta have the budget for them. There very steetable and there good on pump gas.

1G Exaust Manifold port

Why? your stock 2g Manifold is better....

[herostar]

I'd go with something reasonable like a T66

Did you even look at his supporting mods before you made this suggestion? Why dont you look closely and try again.

well the thing is that he has stated nothing about goals, and what the car is used for... so no matter no one can make a definitive suggestion.

Hense my first reply to this thread...

But he did list his supporting mods which I based my suggestion on. Suggestions like your's make kids think they can get away with skipping the important parts and jump to a big turbo. If you want to be really helpful, why dont you tell him that he needs fmic, xxx injectors, etc to run what you suggest. Regardless of his goals, an evoIII is the best for turbo for his current setup. Supporting mods usually come before the turbo so in a sense, they dictate turbo size.

I did not suggest anything to him besides that he state his goals and what the car is primarily being used for or being built for.

I am fully aware what most turbos require to be a benifit in power and not blow something up.

I simply stated that the person asking the question clarify a few things before any inteligent suggestions could be made. And what if he plans on getting a few more parts in 2-4 weeks? or the very near future? but goes ahead and gets that Evo16g, just to find that it is not enough? or not what he was looking for. Now he has wasted alot of money.

My mods to run the turbo I am going to run is a long list...
750 injectors
SAFC2
JR 8a intercooler
35 mm external wastegate
AFPR
full exhaust
fully prepped motor
Wal 255 LP
Manifold
2.5" hard pipes

just to name a few things...
But I also did the research to what was required, and what would be suggested to run my turbo, and run it well.

It seems this person did nothing but ask a very vauqe question wanting people to give him advise. Which asking for advise is fine, but you just cannot ask the question without giving input on what your looking for yourself.

I am not meaning to bash him, or anyone else. I am simply stating facts, without knowing what a person has, or is planing to do or even what the hell the car is being built to do nothing can be suggested inteligently.

At some point the owner has to speak up and say I want this car to be a "XXXXX" car, whos main purpose is to woop some a$$ at the/on the "XXXXX". This is what I have, this is what I am planning on getting in "XXXX" time frame. This is "XXXXX" what I want it to be able to do.
Now given all that info, the list can be greatly narrowed and be much more useful.

hey herostar said to go with a T66 that is a big turbo so why don't you get on his back about it. He is ashing for suggestions about this. he dosen't have a front mount hes going to need that, he's going to need injectors, and a waste gate. he didn't say that he wanted to bolt it on with all the stuff he had.;

No he did not ASK (not ash or ashing) for suggestions...
He said "Looking for the best turbo."

No where in that statement could a suggestion be imposed.

Oh what the #### is the point.... good god... I asked the guy to post info on what HE WANTS TO FREAKIN DO... WTF is the problem with that?

If you know WTF he wants to do with the car, THEN you can SUGGEST with success.

Man you people can be stupid some times... would you not want to know what you want to do with the car before you started buying parts for it?

Jesus H Christ...

 

[herostar]

With your current setup I would suggest an E3 16g along with a different exhaust manifold (2g ported, evo, sbr...) and maybe a ported 2g o2 housing. I would also invest in a FMIC because even if you do get a bigger turbo you won't be able to safely run more boost without a FMIC unless you're running methanol.

I want to apologize to you. If you look at my original quote, it was directed at 95undrpsi. And when you jumped in quoting me, I didnt look at the user id because I thought it was the same person. My bad, no need to get your panties in a wrinkle.

Anyway, I made my suggestion based on his supporting mods. Im sure if we all suggested a large turbo, he would probably go ahead and get it. Next thing you know, he will be posting about how we suggested too large of a turbo and that he leaned out his engine and burnt a piston. Regarless of what other mods he might be getting in a few weeks, I only look at what he has now.

Look at this and you will see, all he wants to do is upgade the turbo.

I have:

JDM 4G63T (All New Internals)

seak anger management

 

[herostar]

I'd steer clear of the Greddy 18g. For what you pay for that turbo kit you can get something a whole lot better as well as cheaper. Since you have a 14b any 16g style turbo will bolt directly on, the EvoIII being the most popular/most powerful. If I'm not mistaken the Evo 16g flows more air than the Greddy 18g.

 

[Robster]

No offense, but I don't understand why people are saying T25, it's like a hair dryer

 

[RedTurboEclipse]

i know why..

 

[EvolvingGST]

the silvia guys have 2 words for you.... "disco potato"

hahahahah with the mods you have, this might be the best turbo for you as well. except for the fact that you will probably have to redo the flanges.

BTW: NEVER, and I MEAN NEVER ask such a rediculous question again unless you want to post about how much you want to spend (even the mods you want as supporting mods), what your goals are, and what you expect. AND no turbo is the best for anyone. We can give you suggestions do to your goals and your expectations of what we think you will like the best though. BUT we can't read minds and you are just cluttering up webspace.

I am a high school student who can't afford insurance on a turbo DSM :thumbdown ... and with that said I was just curious on what my best option would be for turboing my N/A. I am looking now so I can start saving for which ever I decide to go with so I can hopefully have the kit bought and installed by the end of the summer along with other mods such as an exhaust and such. Would I be better off piecing together a kit or buying a kit thats already been made such as the star kit? What are the ups and downs of doing one or the other? Thanks for your help guys!!

-Ckiel-

(This will be going into a 96 Eclipse RS)

 

[baxsom]

there was a post in the recent past about the pros and cons of hahn vs star

it went pretty in depth but each kit is going to run you ballpark 3-4K

 

[SnoopySLR]

I'm not encouraging people to not mod 420a's, but I'm going to be getting a GSX for a daily driver. Progressive is one cheap company (and yes I know why). Its only going to be $100 a month for both DSM's and I have 3 points(burn out in a parking lot ) and an accident (Stuipid BMW in front of me brakes work better than my mustang....)

But nobody better sell thier 2GNT for a 4G63, or I'll hunt you down! 420A Forever!!!

 

[95undrpsi]

build your own turbo kit it cheaper and you get what you want.
