get bigger injectors. 850cc for your power goal

You'd be happier with a smaller turbo. Considering your goal is 300 maybe, a gt35 would be grossly inefficient for that power level. Get a 50 trim t3/t4 stage 3 turbine wheel with a .63 ar housing. Best turbo for your goals.

For your injectors, go with 850cc's. 550cc's would be fine, but the bigger the better. Gives you room to upgrade, room for boost spikes, ect.

Enthalpy rom tune FTW, you can get one through Enjuku now i believe.

so the gt35r turbo wouldnt be good for 300whp, what is it good for? because i do kinda want 400whp-500whp instead or at least somewhere around that range.

i also found this t3/t04 turbo http://enjukuracing.com/garret...16_35 is it comparable to the gt35r turbo? i just want a turbo that can spool fast and support up to a good 400whp-500whp

GT35 is best suited for 500-650 hp. That is where its efficient

Everyone gets fixated on getting a big turbo to make their cars go fast, when in reality you dont need a big turbo at all. You want the ideal sized turbo for your goals. This gives you the power you desire, with the least amount of turbo lag possible.

On a Ka-T this is extremely important IMO, because our motors typically dont like to make power up top, the majority of torque is made between 3-4k rpms. So, having a turbo that spools at 3kish makes the Ka-T a monster because it accentuates the Ka's natural power curve.

Figure out what the hell you want to do with your car then ask questions lol. A build over 350 hp is very involved and costs a lot of cash. Be realistic with yourself, if you dont have at least 2-4g's sitting around to build a forged short block, dont set your goals over 300-350. 350 is the absolute limit that i would ever push a stock block Ka to.
