Which Turbo Should I Get [merged] What Turbo

[Ludachris]

Which turbo will be sufficient for consistent 11 second times? I've recently decided on a big 16g, but will that be big enough to run 11s with supporting mods and decent tuning? Remember, this is for a budget street car, so any one purchase over $1k is tough. A big 16g will run about $700-900, which is about $300-400 less than the larger alternatives.

Of course, I'll need lots of practice to run these times, but, I just want to make sure that it's possible before the money is spent.

stroking an engine and then putting on a non- ball bearing turbo... that's kind of like buying a mclaren F1 but you don't like the color so you get a Maaco paint job... i know that's a bit extreme but that's kind of how i see it. Just save up a little more $$ and go all out.

im gonna agree with rubberside down on this one, go all out and stay away from ball bearing(coming from a fwd owner) trust me U WANT LAG

My good friend has this on his eclipse. He is looking for 350whp @ 13-18psi.

What turbo & other modifications fo you recommend?

He was thinking 20G

I was thinking a t3/t4 hybrid with a nice tubular style turbo manifold.

What to you think guys. I figured I'd leave it up to the pro's.

 

[greathuskie]

L2R sounds pretty good, with bigger injectors though

I don't know what that is. . . .

 

[95gstproject]

http://www.agpturbo.com/ and go to dsmturbo and then GT Twin Ball Bearing

 

[Ryan Autry]

What do you guys think of this turbo?

[supereclipse]

Ive never heard of these guys before.
Your going to need more pressure to get 350ponies than18 psi.
I personally have there l2 and love it.

Really.

Even with a t3/t4 base turbocharger?

 

[92LaserAWDTurbo]

I'd agree w/ GreatHuskie... go w/ an L2R and maybe 750 injectors. Good setup there in my completely inexperienced opinion.

 

[gsxcrazy]

Go crazy! Try the FP-30..It just came out. It should be a winner. You may need some additional mods like injectors, custom DP.... This turbo may be overkill for most but thought I would let you know. Good Luck!

[Ryan Autry]

Thanks for looking out guys...

Ok, so.

This is what we're looking at.

The L2R Turbo with internal wastegate mounted to the stock manifold.

http://www.agpturbo.com/rseries.htm

That's going to run $1,650. Figure he can sell the FP big t-28 for $650.

Or, we're looking at this.

This is $1,600. But I would believe the SFP manifold would out flow the stock manifold by a lot.


What do you think?

That's very nice. But he's only looking for 350whp.

You don't need anything like an FP-30 or even an L2R for 350WHP. Sure, a 20G would work, as would an L1R or Slowboy SBR-GT10, although you'd be close to maxing those last two out to get 350 WHP as they're rated at around 400 crank.

How about this one?

Looks fine to me. I recommend not clipping it, though, to help spool-up.

Thats a picture of my turbo on the motor. I love it. Best $1600 I've ever spent on a turbo setup. I've had an l2r, green, l3r, big 16g, 20g, t25, 14b, 60-1/td06h hybrid and I love my t3/t4.

Wow! Remind me to come to you with any turbo-related questions.

 

[SlowboyCSE]

I know everybody is talking about the bigger turbo's and such, and thats awesome you wanna run her down the 1/4 mile. In the real world are you going to be running the Big RPM's? A SPR GT-10 would spool so fast your head might spin. If you have a nasty bottem end, then i'd see the feasiblity of the bigger "bad boys" on the street.
