What turbo should i use?

[s13_silvia_redtop]

okay i have searched and looked around but not many people talk about using t3/t4 or a t-61. i would like to use a gt28 or 30 but i just dont have the money yet. so for now what turbo should i run with my setup? T3/T4 or T-61

BC springsBC titanium retainersBC stage two camsbore 40 over with CP pistons8.5 to 1 compression1.6mm Greddy HG Greddy rocker arm stoppersshot peened rodsmain bearingsrod bearinsgreddy nock off intake manifoldi will be getting injectors and i have a walbroand some other things like a top mount manifold and stuff.

T3/TO4e's are a very popular, and in that sense I mean they can be found very easily and relatively cheaply. Full boost probably won't be developed until around 3500 with a .63 A/R.

Now, as for deciding between the T3/T04E or the T-61, have you plotted the compressor map for both of the turbos?

I'll do that for you later tonight or tomorrow, I'm taking a nap.

not relevant but i have a question.

does your knock off intake manifold work well -is it comparative to the greddy?

i see them all over eBay but I am wondering how well they do.

[s13_silvia_redtop]

i would assume it works well, its not going to be AS good as the greddy but i dont think its going to be that big of a diffference for an extra 400 dollars. i have not finished my build i still am awaiting some parts to get here.

Tulsa_s13,

i am not entirelry sure how to read a compressor map yet, havent really set done and looked at one??? your info on them would be great! thanks!

[Kalypso]

there is also Garrett gt2871r .64 or .86

You may have probably considered that but If not it is undeniably the way.

the .86 could work well with your build and give you some top end love.

they run 1100 more or less.

good luck

i just got my gt2871. 64 and i have BC 264 cams and springs.

and i am aiming for 400whp.

[Kalypso]

I want the .64 badly

I am going to pull redtop out in the next two weeks for a swap but unfortunately i dont think I will have the $ or a complete list of parts to do a 400hp build.

its a great turbo.

idaho how much did you get yours for.

i presume you have injectors, and an ecu. what are you planning?

i got my turbo for 1100 from phase2.

i am getting deastch werk 740 cc injectors that will be running at 805 which is perfect. and i am gettign ether a enthalpy or JWT rom tune

for more infor on what i have done so far to meet my goals check out my build. a link is in my signature VVV
