they are not ball bearing. they are f$#king big. they will not come onto boost until quite late in the rev range (unless you have a 3 litre RB26 for example). but when the do hit boost it'll be one hell of a ride... for the A/R and wheel sizes type T88-H 34D into google.

Yeah my car is a 5.7 litre stroker i posted it here cause you guys know more about turbos than commodore people. So should i see boost around 3500rpm it is a heavily worked engine makes 315hp at the wheels as it is

Im also lookin at another garret turbo it has a 0.76 front and a 1.08 rear it doesnt have a model number would this be similar to the T88 i dont really kow that muchabout the numbers and stuff

lol...that would be a rb30 then..not a 3 lt rb26....:headspin:

the reason I said "3 litre RB26" is so people understand that I'm talking about a GTR engine, modified to 3 litre capacity, not a RB30 commodore motor which has crap heads....

Heavily worked?

Forgive me if I am wrong but dont the 5.7litre comordores have about 300rwhp as standard?

The fact that he's said 5.7litre stroker leads me to believe he's talking about an older 5 litre holden V8 (ie. not a 5.7 LS1) that has been stroked to make it 5.7.

To answer the actual question, I really don't know that a T88 would suit your application. What's the max rev limit? how much power do you want from it? I reckon you might be better off with a set of twins. a nice little T28 of some kind per bank would be good. Maybe even a twin HKS GTRS set-up... It will give you a chance to beat some GTRs.... (in a straight line anyway...) ;)

Fitting the twins together in the engine bay is going to be real hard as it is a small engine bay. Could you recomend another single turbo to use.

Yeah it is an older 308 stroked to 355 and yes it is heavily worked everything is forged blueprinted balanced best of everything you can by for that motor the only reason it makes not much power is because it runs low compression and a small cam to prepare for forced induction

Ohh, more details:) As a joke i looked at what it would cost to build a stroked 304/355 engien with alloy efi heads, twin throttle inlet with some nice internals...the price scared me when you consider you can get a Nascar crate engine for 15k with good hp:)

Id be inclined to go with a big centrifugal blower, especially if the engine bay is tight. You can stick with some nice pipes, much lower engine bay temps, can still run intercooler, and the Vortex blowers work wonders:)

If it must be turbo then id say stick with singles set forward in the engine bay, the only way you will get a big single in there is with it mounted really low in which case the oil return, manifolding will still be a nightmare, or say goodbye to a bonnet and mount it high and proud, perhaps throw a hornet scoop over it:)

But small singles, they will also work better with more crude log manifolds:)

in my opinion a supercharger is a better option on such a big engine, the reason for this is to make instant power you need lots of torque downlow, and a t88 doesnt make much torque below 5 grand, for this reason alone, id go with a supercharger, as roy stated a good centrifugal supercharger should provide a good torque band between 2 grand and onwards, but whatever you choose good luck

You'd be better off getting a ball or plain bearing Garrett turbo, the lack of exhaust housings sizes in the Trust range limit their applications. You might find you need an exhaust housing larger than what they offer, and both 1) buying a larger housing and 2) having one available are two big reasons why I'd skip out on the Trust unit.

Don't get me wrong, great turbos that make great power.... but they are aimed at engines with alot lower capacity than that.

centrifugal blowers are similar to that of turbos... as they are not "instant power" as they spool kinda like a turbo.

daredevil,

I think the turbo idea is a good one. The blowers of any kind are not a patch on a good turbo setup.

1,000hp is more than the 308 is going to live with for vey long at all. I'd be aiming at a turbo to deliver around 600 engine hp. This way your going to be able to get excellent response with very minimal lag.

As others have mentioned stick with the garret turbo's, more options to get the right fit.

just agreeing with R31Nismoid, i think a vs trim Vortech blower would be the best option for you from CAPA Australia. They work very similar to turbo's and they are very small package for easy installation. You also wont have as much heat within a confined engine bay....but they are expensive

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
