what turbo is good for 400hp

[EvolutionDSM]

okai guys im a newbie here.i have a 1997 eclipse gst bone stock!my goal is to hit the low 400hp on pump gas.this is my DD and i plan to take it to the tracks once in a while.i need help finding a turbo and i have reviewed a couple like the 16g ,big 16g ,20g ,hx35 ,gt35r but still dont know which turbo(any kind) produces quick spool and hp..i need some advice fellow dsmers

id agree 20G they are nice turbos and for your HP rating your looking it would be great. As was stated to your going to have to have all the supporting mods along with it.

My budget only for the turbo is 1200 but it depends on the turbo if I want to go higher.but a xheap and fast turbo is better.i like the 20g the sound pretty popular but if someone has a
holset hy35 or hx35 hookups let me know.thry also sound pretty kool

Check the calssifieds. They have them for sale all the time.

Hey dsmtyson.so what if the 20g comes in the t3? : /

 

[ckrell]

good used he351 can be bought for around $250 on ebay and will do over 400hp

68hta...

Yup. Too bad it comes in T3..

But as stated on their website, you can bolt up any 16g hotside to it and bam!, stock fitment with a 7cm housing

Please do not go buy a big ass turbo and put it on your car expecting it to make hella power. Please have proper supporting mods!

id go with a 20g,i picked up a hahn s20g t3 manifold with an externalgate on it and a turbo timer for 300bucks plus my tubuler dsm manifold,and the turbo just needs a rebuild, you can find them cheap and they are good turbos

 

[99 gst spyder]

to go safe internally imo, i'd go with the fp hta68 or cheaper with the fp 20g and switch the ex.housing to a 16g hot side, otherwise external gate with the fp green for more future mod. i'm in the process with the fp green on order with o2 external watesgate. hoping around 400+ also. this i would say, all supporting mod are required for any upgrade. it's best to get full potential of your setup.

You would have to buy a T3 manifold. A 20G with a DSM housing would bolt right up to the stock manifold no problem. And spool a bit faster as well.

It would easily get you to 400hp. I'm going with a 20g with a 7cm^2 turbine housing, i'll have it in 2 weeks.

I like that. I'm going to have to remember that one haha.

Seeing this thread is a few months old the op might of already made a turbo choice by now, but being fwd I would look for something with a slightly slower spool to aid in keeping traction.
