Ideal 6-bolt

[swarm]

What is the ideal 6-bolt for 450HP?

With an 18g

someone give me some specs so i can learn please

the one you have should be fine if you know how to tune. going forged will give you a little leaway.

450hp with that turbo is not the best route to go. The stock internals should get you close if not right there with proper tuning but the 18G is not that big of a turbo for 450hp.

Consider a larger turbo or a more "proven turbo".
Consider maybe a 20g/evo16g/rs49/50trim or something along that line.

My stock 7bolt internals will?
I'm sorta worried about the possibility of crankwalk when pushing those numbers.
what is my 18g is a 50 trim? i'll look

You can always just drop a JDM 6 bolt in there if you don't want to spend a ton of money.

I consider the 18G to be a very wack turbo. Its no better than a S16G, yet hits full boost at around where a 20G does. Plus you're gonna have a very tricky time trying to squeeze 450hp out of that setup. As 98RedGs said, that's more along the lines of a 50 trim or FP Green.

Assuming you mean internal parts:

- New waterpump, timing belt, all other belts, tensioners, oil pump, and gaskets all around
- ARP head bolts, head studs, and rod bolts
- Mitsubishi metal headgasket
- Stock 6 bolt rods
- 2G pistons

Keep in mind that 450hp has been reached on stock 6 bolt internals, this is simply my opinion for a lower costing setup that would work well with that much power.

Its no better than a S16G

If you're refering to a super16G, well, it spools way sooner.
If you're refering to a small16G, you're a jackass.

Dont you mean main studs, head studs and rod bolts?

What I meant was that the 18G spools like a 20G, and pulls about as hard as a small 16G from all my encounters with them. I beat a '97 GSX running an 18G with my '93 GSX running a small 16G. Therfore, I dont think very highly of them until someone has proof they are a good turbo. Clear now?

"Dont you mean main studs, head studs and rod bolts?"

Yeah, sure. Long day at work, sorry.

 

[killab443]

i agree with diesel boy. I think that these turbos are unpopular because of its midrange size why not go for a 20g for a little more or a evo16g for a little less. Yea, maybe you can be different and get a 18g but keep in mind your paying over 200 dollars more for it then the evo16 or b16 which are highly capable of the same hp. just somethin to think about.

 

[swarm]

i already have the 18g, i paid nothing for it. someone was getting out of DSM's

 

[Dieselboy]

I guess they didnt research DSM turbo's too much .
