Im building my turbo kit soon and i wanna step it up from a basic 57 trim to something a little bigger. Whats a good size turbo that will make some more power that will still be good for daily driving. 54 trim maybe?

stay with a t3to4e
specs
57 trim
ar .63

perfect for boost and dd


anything bigger is going to hit your pockets hard and will mean modifications under the hood

jdubb123

Do you mean ill need new pistons and rods and stuff

cburglb34

no im talking about new radiators, new fans, battery relocation, just alot of work to make the turbo fit , prob removing ac

no you dont need to build the stock block unless you are trying to go over 350whp.

50 or 57 trim t3/t4
maybe 18g? thats what the greddy kit runs

what are your power goals?

cburglb34

lol he thinks he wants something bigger than a 57trim.....haha some of our high hp cars are using 57trims

60-1 maybe?

is a gt30 bigger? but thats going to be pretty pricey.

im sure you could get 300whp with a 57 trim and the lag wont be too bad

cburglb34

300whp is like 8-9 psi on a 57trim and full spool at 3k perfect....its like early VTEC hahaha

I made 295 on a 57 trim, easily. If I was tuned, I'd make 300-320 on a DynoDynamics, 330-350 on a DynoJet with my setup, on 11-12 PSI. I hit boost at about 3200-3400.

lol vtec. Such a primitive technology.

yo carbon what u going to do with the blue tc?

perfect example. no need for anything bigger than 57 trim.

carbon why is your torque a bit lower than your hp?

CarbonXe

Because of my tune. I was running way too rich at 3-4k RPM, so it wasn't able to build up torque. The tuner at PTuning said with a pro tune, I'd be making 300-320/310-330 on their dyno.

hey carbon.whats with the blue tc. im interested in buying the hatch on it as mine took a beating

CarbonXe

Ask Todd, it's his lol.

cburglb34

well oh ill ask him when ever he is on

CarbonXe

I doubt he'd say anything about it. Assuming he gets the car, it's gonna need the hatch, and if he ends up not getting the car, I'm gonna need the hatch on it, lol.
