Hey guys,just got my internet connection,nice to c u all again

Im just not sure of what turbo to get.My current snail is already extracting 245hp on the wheels but we all want the power.I want like a drivable,wider power band turbo.

Im looking into a t3/t4,but i want to know other options.350hp-400hp would be nice,what do you think?

See'ya:burnout:

Adam has a T3/T4

u reckon it wouldnt get a rb25 past 330

whatsisname is pullin 250kw@13psi

Shuto u dont have to go that big to get 400hp@engine

Just to expand on the topic.

What is the best turbo to use, that has the same or better characteristics as the standard (low rpm boost, quick spool up, etc.) and makes bigger power and bigger torque? Hope you understand what i am trying to ask.

Or is it better just to hi-flow the standard turbo with a sierra-sierra combination on the compressor and exhaust sides?

We have a nice little bolt on Hybrid built up that flows 430hp @ 1 bar and is a straight fit internal gate job. I've got one on the Stagea and it spools up just as quick as the stocker. The good thing is its quite tractable on 7psi so you dont need to upgrade everything else at the same time. A point of reference the stock AFM maxxes out on a cold night on 7psi with this terb...

Thanks REV210!

How much rwkw (approx.) would this give me, at what psi?

How much torque can i expect (prefably as a % over stock turbo, eg: 45% greater torque)?

when this turbo upgrade is done, the car will have the following mods:

- Wolf3d V4 plug-in

- fmic

- cold-air intake (sealed box with 4" drain pipe from hole in front bar)

- Adjustable boost

- heavy duty ceramic/brass button clutch

- 3" exhaust system (from turbo, with hi-flow cat and straight through muffler.

- sard 550cc injectors

- Bosh fuel pump

- Bosh fuel regulator

- Ceramic coated: ic pipes, turbo housings, ex. manifold, dump/front pipe, etc)

Would i need any other mods?

Jash (GTAAH) Thanks!

How mush ($) am i looking at?

Is this a BB turbo?

Will it fit on the stock manifold?

Is it a hi-flowed stock turbo?

PLEASE refer to post addressed to REV210, and if possible kindly answer the questions listed, taking into consideration the mods already, or about to be fitted, on the car.

THANKS AGAIN

SHUTO-BOY

Sorry if i taken over your thread, but i think this type of information could also help you.

BTW with the first six mods listed (the rest are yet to be completed when i get the turbo) i am making 210rwkw with alot more low to mid range torque/drivadilty thanks to the wolf3d.

I would seriously consider any type on engine management b4 the turbo upgrade, just to get the mixtures right. I have already seen 2 R33 with blown engines, due to bigger turbo's and poor tunning. Just my 2c worth.

The complete replacement turb is a BB, new. Its custom made to our specs by Garrett and is a nice little unit. Needs custom oil and water lines but everything else bolts up.

We are looking into getting turbo's remanufactured but its proving to be quite an operation, apparently they can be done with BB Cores now, but they are 2200 ish which makes it not really worthwhile.

Jash if you can sell them for $2k even 2.2 like u said that maybe ok because the key here is they bolt up no intake and dump alterations which makes the whole operation so much cheaper :D

BTW id like to know wheel sizes of the BB Turb when u answer Al :D

Rev210 the 2530 will spool fast cause its a toy turbo. 2540 isnt far behind!

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
