Turbo selection, let's have your input.

[majik2k5]

Alrighty then.

I believe I've had a turbo seal go out on the 60 trim that was on the car. I thought about replacing the seal itself and saving some money on the cost of the rebuild, but that's way to easy and logical for a DSM.

Instead, I've grown tired of the standard journal bearing 60 trim, and I want to upgrade to something ball bearing. However, at the time I'd like to keep to something that's large, but still remains bolt on to the MHI flanges.

I was looking at the Bullseye Power GT35R on slowboy's site; Slowboy Racing, Inc. :: DSM :: Turbos :: Bullseye-Power :: Ball Bearing Mitsu Bolt On :: BullsEye-Power GT35R

However, I know that there is always someone out there with a little more input than what I've recieved from other places, so I'd like to hear it.

What turbo would you suggest I look into? Only requirements are, that it be MHI bolt on, and ball bearing. Oh, and big.

 

[Boosted98gsx]

Bullseye is crap. Go straight garrett or go home (or one of the FP turbos).

 

[prostreetdsmx1]

there are tons of options bud.

What kind of power are you looking for? 2.0 or 2.3? Street car or some racing? etc.......

 

[majik2k5]

More of a street car. But track on the occasion. It's only a FWD, unfortunately.

But, I do have a Buschur Racing Stage 3 block and head, along with the J&E pistons that Buschur supplies in the blocks. The rest of the mods and engine work you can find in my profile. I don't have the patience to type it all out, haha.

So I'll stick to the 2.0, but with what's done, and the ETS racing intercooler I just ordered, I'd like to shoot for the 600HP area when all is said and done.

This is what you need......
Forced Performance: DSM FP88HTA Turbocharger
It's $200 more, but you will retain your ex man, but you're need a FP O2 housing and Tial 44mm WG.

Well, guess not, you have a ton of custom stuff.
Maybe look at a PTE GT3582R instead from Dejon Powerhouse.

Why not just go t3 hotside if you are looking for that kind of power? You could sell your exhaust componets to help pay for the new ones and then make the power easier than with a bolton housing.

Good call, a down pipe for a standard T3 no matter what type of outlet is easy to build, especially if it's externally gated. You could sell your O2 housing, downpipe and manifold and afford a good T3 header/mani and build a DP for under 20 bucks if you can weld, still shouldn't be any more than 50-75 for a simple one from any decent "small sho" the kind that cut deals on little stuff when they're not busy. And, you would probably still have a little left over to throw in on the new turbo too!

HTA3065

 

[majik2k5]

Any info on PTE turbos?

Mainly, this one.

GT3582R With the HTA compressor wheel. I'm running it, and I can tell you it's a good one.

 

[majik2k5]

Two votes for it. And I have noticed it's 600HP capable.

However, is the housing itself direct bolt on?

Nope, hence why I suggest the HTA 3065.

 

[blcknspo0ln]

Whoa, when did they make an HTA3065!?

 

[majik2k5]

What vendors deal with the HTA 3065? I haven't really been able to find anything in any searches, minus a bunch of reviews. All which appear very good, btw.

 

[01QuadDak]

I just picked up the fp88hta for my stroker, i'll let you know how it works out.

 

[CanadianTSi]

Same compressor wheel as the HTA GT35R, just Call Forced Performance and they will make one for you.

 

[Boosted98gsx]

I'm pretty certain it's the FP3565 HTA, not 3065 HTA

I think there can do Either... the 35R exhaust wheel or the 30R.

 

[Boosted98gsx]

You cannot fit the GT35 wheel into the FP turbine housing. You have the choice of either the GT30 or the GT350.

 

[CanadianTSi]

I stand Corrected.

We had a straight off-the-shelf GT3582R with a .82 Garrett GT housing, unbolted it and swapped on an FP housing machined for the 35r turbine wheel. I'd say it fits fine. FP sells this as the 3565.

Yes, I was going to say

 

[Boosted98gsx]

HRM, I could have sworn that the GT35 wheel was too large for the FP housing, that's why they had to have the GT350 wheel designed. I will confirm this with FP.

 

[ILLiCliPSE]

I was gonna say...

I think FP can machine their housing to fit the 35r wheel so it should work.

But thats been said already, so this post is kinda usless.

[chetvram]

Those new gt35rHTA turbos would be good for your goals if you can bank roll one.
