CA + 3071 T2? WTF?

[s13drifter88]

Ok so I think Ive only posted for sombody else once before trying to help sell a car but here I am doing it again. A friend of mine's KA blew up so he has now opted for a CA swap. Swaps done, car runs great and drives fine with no issues (not even smoking from original turbo ). Well with Adam's KA-T plans are now blown to bits, no pun intended, and I was asked my opinion of the 3071, since he already has it, for a CA. Great part is, I have no experience with a 3071r t2 on the CA, I just remember that the 3076 t3 (.86 iirc tho) was a little laggy on an SR for my preference. Before I misinform him in anyway what are you guys opinions on the t2 3071r .64 int w/g (Uhg, why cant big power ppl go big turbo and stop half as*ing it).

I personally don't see the problem with him using said turbo as long as he doesn't half-@ss the engine management system which usually gives the CA a bad rep among would-be tuners/buyers. If you're not going to spend the loot to make the engine perform at an optimal level, who are you kidding?

Ok now for my own insight, Ive been kinda turned off to t2 int w/g myself if trying to push any substantial. Im under the impression theyre bad to choke. I was tossing around the idea of moving from my 2871 to a t2 20g and going Tial 38mm to stop choking since Im shooting for the 400whp mark. waste of time? good idea?

That map is as fat as Kirsty Alley's a**. Get an AR.64 hot side and enjoy the thrust.

Its installed on Adams car but not yet running. Ive just always been a skeptic of GT30xxR in a T2. i had always believed that they had problems choking, creeping and spiking. We'll see I guess.

No, those are meth users.
