Another question about turbochargers.
Im looking for a combo of GT wheel technology (Turbine/compressor) in a bushing package that will support approximately 500-550 Crank horsepower for a 1.6L
Im trying to find the fastest spooling turbocharger i can without having to fork over an extra 500 bucks for a ball bearing cartridge.
Thoughts? Im trying to keep lag down, i want it to come online before 5k RPMS so i can have a nice beefy powerband (revving to 9000 RPMS)

you're talking about a 1.6L and 500 crank horsepower. Considering you're not talking whp, your goal is definitley not out of reach. I almost want to say a T3/To4E
the T3 side should come on before 5k, and with a small engine like that, should be able to handle the flow you need at the high rpms. Do the math, I'm sure (looking at what you've built so far) that you can figure out how many CFMs you need at 9000rpms on a 1.6L
then just go turbo shopping.

Re: (AngelTeg)
im shopping as is, but im tired of seeing all the GT ball bearing turbos getting all the glory, and the nice price tag too, but the SC-61 has a nice medium with the bushing centre, and gt wheel tech.
My question, is there a off the shelf GT wheel tech turbo with a bushing center section that will put me at my HP goal.
The reason i want to go with the Gt wheel technology, is the much better efficiency of the turbine side, because this is a 1.6L
If there isn't anything off the shelf, i guess i could buy all the gt parts and get it to fit in a bushing catridge!
Im thinking like a GT30 Comp in a dual inlet housing. Not sure how the turbine side works yet. I guess my problem is lack of information/understanding.
i guess i would want to try going with the GT30R components because of the turbine? *keeps looking*
