Which turbo??

[GoofyATX240]

I know this might sound stupid heh. But I recently fell in love with autocrossing, but at the same time if I run into someone on the street to run or drag racing which turbo and specs and all would be suitable? I had a turbo in mind, but now I dont think it would be all that great for auto-x. I would need something that could get me in 300hp range and still be able to auto x with it. I swear I always change my mind on the turbo I wanna go with heh. And yes I understand a/r and all that mess. Thanks in advance.

Definitely a ball bearing unit! How much are you looking to spend?

[GoofyATX240]

Just a little over 1k. Since ill be saving for some time now. so about 1500 is the most im willing to spend. of course it wont be this month that I buy it hehe.

gt2530 or 2540

good luck affording it...unless you mean the garret one, which one, the HKS or the Garret Jon?

[Oneor1]

hmmm... any good turbo's out there for the CA for around 500 or so?

[Nathan]

Well...I was actually thinking of the Super 16G from here: http://www.turbosystem.com/auto/sales/sales.htm just have a T3 flange welded onto your stock manifold. Best part is...only 600 bucks an a warranty!!

Im hoping he means the garret one. I might have to check out that 16G hehe. When does that turbo spool and all and whats the max power for it?

[Nathan]

I think the 16G would be pretty laggy...like boost at around 3500-4000 maybe.

[Oneor1]

heard people had some bad luck w/ the welding of flanges on the stock manifold.

also have u guys checked out the turbos on JGStools.com??

[Nathan]

If you weld it on there good enough...just make sure that its like one solid weld

[Oneor1]

cool cuz jgs sells all different types of flanges too

[GoofyATX240]

Damn. Now im contemplating still how much hp can it put out anyways?

[Nathan]

Well GENIUS, why dont you stop being so DUMB and READ you GOOFY FOOL!!!! It says 400hp but I think that'd be pushing it, figure on not running more than about 17psi on it and making around 300-320hp (I'm conservative) for it to live a long and healthy life . If it was me I'd set it at about 15psi and forget about it. Dont forget you'll need to do something about fueling at those levels: upgraded injectors and at least an safc.

[GoofyATX240]

Hmmm well when I read that ir didnt even say a hp number your reading the 1k$ one ehhe. Unless I went to the wrong part lmao.. Whats everyone think of the turbo at the bottom of this page http://www.jgstools.com/turbo/t3t04.html. I know ill need fuel u damn seducing person ahha.

[Nathan]

hey, screw you! Can't we just put the seducing thing behind us??? haha...and that turbo is only 600 bucks, once again...another case of you NOT READING. tool

[slw240sx]

go to this page and click on 1989 - 1990 VNT turbo. uses standard T25 cold parts and seals. so, you can get a "big T28 upgrade done to it. found this

The turbine section of the VNT turbo is matched to a larger 500cfm T28 compressor wheel and equipped with the 360 degree severe duty thrust bearing system for added durability at high boost pressure. The pictures below show the factory compressor wheel dwarfed in the modified compressor housing and also the complete Super 60 T2 VNT unit[/quote] Quote »$695.00 exchange with good core[/quote]
