What is the best turbos for making 750+ whp?

I would like to reach 800-900 whp ballpark. I was thinking about the JWT 700bb series but if you have a better idea let me know..

before the turbos, check out the rest of your supporting mods, especially the fuel injectors and intercoolers.
nismo740cc's will max out around 740-750hp+.
look into bde fuel systems.
also, forged pistons and rods too.
it'll be tough to get 800-900hp, or even 700hp, on regular gas.
the jwt700bb's, while great turbos, won't get you to your goals. gt3071's or gt3076's should get you there, on race gas/fuel.

it is very tough, too many things involved.

that won't do it either, imo, if you're going for that kind of power, bde's with injector dynamics fuel injectors are what you want.
they let you run e85, which is pretty much the equivalent of 100-octane race gas/fuel.
and for intercoolers, a-spec massives or the tdm fmic.
and forget the doolz, it's the selin pack all the way.
throw in a dyno tune, and it's just too many things involved.

I'm sure you are aware of the cost involved in making that kinda power right?

I'm sure you're aware that at that point, the "streetability" of the car is completely gone, right?

I've driven 500 ponies before. That amount of power is no joke. 750? There is no need.

ya i dont see the point in building something that can go insane on race gas unless it is a drag car. what is the point? imo the optimum power level is 500. no need for a rebuild, enough power to play with the big boys, and runs on pump gas.

exactly, there is a reason why most exotics only run 450-650 HP. And why cars like the Caparro T1 never make it past prototype or single digit production numbers. there is such a thing as too much power.

I just googled the Caparo T1

http://www.caparo-t1.com/

and then I jizzed...in my pants. :laugh:

(you're my boy) Blue has been right on point. SZ's EXP-90 kit is just the beginning of what you'd need. Also need a built motor, full 3" exhaust, upgraded fuel pump. You're looking at a $20K build, just parts, no labor. Not kidding, 100% serious. I'd bet anyone they can't build a 700RWHP VG-powered Z32 for less than $20K.

Then don't forget brakes, because you want to be able to stop after you rip through the gears.

500RWHP is an insane amount of power, and much more attainable. Not trying to discourage you, just letting you know what you're in for.

Well i probably wont need that much to achieve 10 seconds depending on driving skill, loll...

but my real objective is to get 10 seconds, and i know its much easier said than done.

Jeremy Clarkson's caught fire, had a fuel problem, and had the floor fall out of it.
