Hello there,
first off i know this should be in the forced induction, infact it is, and i cant find a way to delete it so mods please remove it.
secondly i know i shouldnt post it in but i feel that most of the gurus post and kinda stick to here and its kinda ... anways!
Popped my stock turbo lately and thought why not.. lets build a amateur setup for a hillclimbs and sprints/circuit.
i am aiming to base my car around response/power
Yes i have a SR20DET and i am in the midsts of deciding what turbo first before all other supporting mods.
originally i wanted a HKS2530 internally gated with a HKS 14psi actuator..
but prices of a 2530 seem to be a bit too far to reach. so i have to decided to use garrett turbos either a GT2860RS or a GT2817R with a .86 exhaust i think
I was leaning towards a GT2860RS as i think "i maybe wrong" but closest spec to the HKS 2530
was speaking to someone who knew their turbos and they was suggesting i choose the GT2817R with a .86 rear housing or exhaust as it is a little more "laggy" then the .64 but for track work it wont have any issues compared to the .64 where that was mainly based for street, heating issues they said....
so now i am unsure what turbo to choose from. maybe you guru's will be able to help me choose. I don't plan on working the internals just yet, i just want to focus on maybe a little on the head and allowing oil to flow smoothly without it being jerky, With the usual rocker stoppers, oil cooler, fmic, EBC, bosch 044 and maybe a fuel reg but i don't think the fuel reg is really needed unless proper ecu work and such.
As for the turbo i want it low mounted, was considering a 6boost manifold but yet was thinking stock would prolly be the best way to go. aiming for response and power do not want laggy or silly turbo suggestions please
Power wise? i don't really have a figure (guess when you do want a figure its too high anyway) so i want high response and power
support mods since its going to be amateur setup its gong to be with stock internals then later ill take it more seriously but as for support mods i was thinking since my car is off the road.
FMIC, EBC, Oil cooler, 044, rocker stoppers, high volume sump, 3" TBE with high flow ceramic cat i think i'm missing out some
please tell me what you think,
Cheers.
