Small winter build thoughts

[Kyle_T]

Honestly for around $90 I can't see a reason not to get the 255. Then you won't have to worry about running out of pump.

My thoughts exactly. Same for headstuds. Some say I dont need them at that power level, but for $100 cant go wrong.

I found some different compressor covers for a 16g that elimiates the jpipe. Ive had plenty of people say go evoIII 16g over the 20g because of spool and Im only shooting for around 300hp. Thoughts? Might go this route.

 

[smills1840]

There's no question that a e316g will spool faster than the 20g. If you're sure you'll be satisfied at around 300whp, than the 16g is the turbo for you. I'm going with the 20g and shooting for 375whp, and hopefully the TD05 can get me there.

I have a 16g evo and now a downward housing on my 18g, but im considering some changes now, goal 400 hp, for my goals 20g if I do it will have some mods done to it, im on link and sd coming with some 1120s so I can run e 85 and pump we have both here.

Where did you find a cover for the 16g that eliminates the j pipe, just wondering.

KINUGAWA TURBO Online shopping Cart - Compressor Housing Theres about 5 different housings that should work with td05 turbos. Ive talked to some people and Ive heard that these are pretty nice quality.

my buddy Austin at turbo lab did it for me. Looking at maybe getting a 20g upgrade with the best I can get in a 20. I had a evo, got another one just now, and considering getting rid of the 18g I need to move onto other parts for this project.

I've found that 16g's just leave you wanting more power. In my opinion a 20g is one of, if not the best street turbo for a DSM. Hits pretty damn hard and typically has a smoother torque curve.

 

[Kyle_T]

Being still on the stock block, Id like to keep it reliable as possible. And I think 300 is a good number and plenty of people have told me the 16g is more than enough for that.

 

[92AWDHX40]

Yes I agree the 16g should meet your goals, especially with a good tune and some good support.

 

[Kyle_T]

Yup, will most likely be going to Boostin Performance for a tune.

There dsm was sick in at the shootout.

Ok updated list

Evo III 16g
Tial MVS Wastegate
Walbro 255
Aeromotive FPR
750-850cc Injectors
Speed Density
ARP Studs

+current mods on my profile.

Solid list, but I have a feeling you may need cams to get over the 300hp mark , but it's a good start and should be fun.

 

[Kyle_T]

Ive definetly thought about cams also. Just dont want to loose any bottom end power. Havent really researched a whole lot, but Id imagine something mild.

 

[92AWDHX40]

Nice list I want some cams thinking fp 272 for my set up. Gotta get my sd sensor and tuned, soon

 

[Kyle_T]

I think 272s would be too much for a 16g setup? Maybe not?

 

[92AWDHX40]

Well ill change turbos one day I like upgrading. .

 

[smills1840]

Don't worry about cams for 300whp. I almost guarantee Boostin' will be able to hit 300whp on a 16g without cams.

 

[G50trim92]

HKS 264 cams would really compliment a 16g, great mid range. Stock cams should be fine for your goal though. I don't see the need for head studs either. Beautiful car btw.

 

[Kyle_T]

If I had some extra money to spend after I get everything else on the list and found a good deal Id probably get some cams. But I think stock should be ok for now.

 

[99ECLIPSEGSXDSM]

Probably eBay. If you're only shooting for 300 the evo 3 is the turbo for you. After I get tire of the t-28 I'm going 05h 20g and really looking forward to it.

 

[NHerron]

Why the wastegate? They work fine internally gated... Provided you don't have 3"pipe straight off the 02 housing. Example my setup: 2.5" outlet 02 housing (meganracing), to 3" adapter, 3"pipe until 3" cat. Controlled boost great until I gutted the cat...

 

[Kyle_T]

I got a good deal on the wastegate. And I will have the guy who fabricated my exhaust complete the system with one of his o2 housings. I also plan on running a compressor cover that gets rid of the j-pipe.

A evo16g and a td05 20g are basically the same turbo. The 20g has a slightly larger inducer. They basically spool the same. Everyone acts like the 20g is laggy and the 16g spools like stock. The reality is the spool is about the same. A few extra grams on the compressor with the same exuder dimensions aren't going to effect spool by much. The td05h is so small anything you hang off it is going to spool fast.

Also, to the guy going from and 18g to a 20g. If you are planned Sticking with the 05h turbine, the 20g isnt going to be much of an upgrade. You should go 06h and have a solid 400hp turbo.
