turbo choice

[tang0]

All

there are SO OOOOOO many thread on turbo choice here, and would like to get some peoples experience with turbos down here ...

I'm thinking of a new turbo in the next few months, and have read the whole high flowing v BB turbo threads ...

I'm in agreement with sydney kid about the whole useable power thing, and a turbo is absolutly no good to me if it does not come on boost until 4500 rpm ...

i'm looking for something to produce about 17psi psi, and start to come on boost at around 3 - 3500 rpm (ish)

I rarely touch near the red line, doing most of my hard driving in the 4-6000 rpm range ..

Its a S2 GTS-T with a hks pod, and turbo back 3", emanage is on its way ....

so what is the best turbo choice for this application ???

GT30 with .63 housing

GT30 with .63 housing

care to state why ...

Well your not after a power goal or 1/4mile time etc from what i can tell with your first post.

If you want something that kicks alot harder than the standard turbo, pulls all the way to redline, and spools about the same as the standard turbo.. Then either go for;

Highflow

HKS 2530/40 or even 2835 if you want more power

Garret GT28R

Otherwise the GT30 would be great, although these are rated at about 500hp which means you need to upgrade a few things first, IE injectors, fuel pump, ecu etc but that comes with any new turbo

Check out GTS-t VSPECs graph in the dyno graph thread running now to see why.

This car made 411rwhp when the motor and injectors were stock but with a wolf plug in ECU.

anyone have any feedback on a trust td05 ???

Check out GTS-t VSPECs graph in the dyno graph thread running now to see why.

I did and this is what I saw..........

Read that power graph carefully (note that it STARTS at 90 kph) and you will notice that it has LESS power up to 106 kph than a basically standard R33 GTST (refer 05YKO_r33 ‘s power graph in the same thread). By “basically standard”, it has an FMIC, 3” zorst (inc dump) and a boost controller, it has no fuel or ignition timing changes from standard and it runs a standard turbo. Ohh, it has standard injectors as well. :jk:

That means up to around 4,000 rpm it's gunna gets its ass kicked by a basically standard R33 GTST. :throwup:

Both power graphs are on DD's in Shootout Mode, just in case someone is interested. :wassup:

So tangO, personally I don't think this turbo is for you.

[tang0]

hmm, yes, this comes into the bracket of 'LLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGG'

while the poxy ford festiva beats me off the mark at the lights ...

hehe ... sorry

anyway, so the td05 ???

Do you have the budget for a new manifold and external gate or not?

That will affect your choices.

[Abo Bob]

HKS 2530. Pricey but a known quantity and would suit you.

I'm going to highflow myself but if I was going HKS I'd go for a 2535 because I'm not scared of the redline but I don't want to sit around waiting for it to get going.

[tang0]

nope !!

looking for a direct (ish) bolt on really ..

just that i have been a td05 setup for a gts-t for a good ish price and wondered what its like ...

360rwhp by 4400rpm is great and not many ppl expect their 2.5L car to make bulk power at 2500rpm.please note not all dyno graphs are in the same gear.

[N I B]

Sydneykid did not mention that the graph he is comparing has the car in what must be 2nd gear as its all over by 130kmh but pauls is in 4th gear and running till about 220kmh.

Try again boy.

[knore]

From what youve said a descent highflow will suit your pefect,

They can be had for cheap, usually around $1500

And can be flowed anywhere upto about 400-450hp

Main advantage of highflowing is cost and easy of installing.. It goes on the same way it came off, no fabrications etc .. almost anyone can do it

You get the turbo back 100% brand new, every moving part is replaced and the turbo is even all shiny again

Steve: Can u get a GT30 with an internal wastegate?

[Sydneykid]

I worked it out as probably being in 3rd actually (21 kph/1000 rpm), but I shoudln't have to WORK IT OUT. It is supposed to be written on the Shootout Printout by the Shootineer. Hey Steve, isn't that a breach of the Code of Ethics? :Bang:

[DoughBoy]

Code of Ethnics? Where can I find that, bro?

[N I B]

XR6 turbo is the closest with inturnal

Just admit you F--ked up.

being on the topic of turbos once again..

i'm in two minds ....volume over response ....

i'm not that good at reading comp. maps.. but if someone can help me out ..i would appreciate it.

GT-SS

2530/2540

Responsive and the T3 flange can bolt onto the standard manifold, I'd change the exhaust manifold as this also helps with response.
