Turbo:
the turbo that came on my stock ls (b18b1) was a nissan turbo, having a hard time figuring out what is acually, will post a picture up of it, if its able to meet my power needs i want to keep it, if not im lookin at getting a gt28 disco potato

A/R .48
just lookin for some opinions as well as anything else i should be aware of

, Name the cams? i think they are cat cams

Lookin for atleast 300-350whp reliably, live in ablerta so its a 1-2 season car (dont wanna hear people say you could have done it on stock internals or you should have sleeved it, this is my build and im doing it with the parts listed above)

heres the sexy ***** its going in

Why do you want to use such a small turbo?

phaphon

thats what im thinking i have a small turbo.i wish i could upgrade but i have to wait for funds

crosser11

im lookin for responsiveness, virtually no lag and love the spool!!

I don't even think you could really reach your goal with that turbo. Trust me your going to want something bigger

crosser11

and id like it to be reliable and fuel efficient, will be tuned on 91 octane, which turbo would you suggest?

crosser11

forgot to mention it will be a daily driver, from summer to fall

Well I'm building pretty much the exact same set up as you except I'm using stock itr cams. My car will also be a dd and tuned on 91. And ill be using a turbonetics .60/.63 turbo. Let someone else more knowledgeable like TheShodan to come in and tell you what would be best for your setup

crosser11

yes hes already making fun of me for not knowing what my cams are..when you say "that turbo" are you talking about the disco potato or the nissan one?

Dc4LsTeG

Either I'm sure that Nissan turbo is small to

crosser11

really? a buddy of min an his stock KA motor mad 285rwhp on 7 psi with the disco pa

crosser11

potato""

phaphon

Well I was at 230 whp on my lst the response was pretty good it was a 60 trim .

crosser11

psi??

crosser11

with that nissan turbo my motor b18b1 was tuned for 200whp at 7 psi

phaphon

I was at 8 psi

crosser11

on a gt28rs disco potato wiht a 60 trim?

phaphon

No it was a Turbonetics turbo

crvtectim

You def cannot compare what one turbo does on a C5 to a KA, SR, or RB.

That's on the turbocharger when its tuned. Not the size. Depending upon power and use, stay with a midframed turbo (49lbs/min-58lbs/min), and you'll have MUCH more fun than anything larger like a GT35R or bigger. Stay with the better companies for turbos (no Godspeed, or ebay) and have it tuned, and you'll be reliable as much as your heart is content with.

crosser11

Thank you, Shodan, your opinion on the turbo for running around 350whp, on the proper sized turbo, im lookin for fast spool, virtually no lag but don't wanna lose power in the higher rpm, id like to run a garret forsure id like to try to spend under a grand on the turbo.. any suggestions

I'm thinking about doing basically the same setup but I'm shooting for mid 400 and I'll be using a pte 5857. U should look into one of those.. Alot of people are running 5857's and making good numbers and really enjoy them on the street.

I originally thought about doing something like u with a small turbo also but said screw it because I'm doing all the work everyone else has to go slower than them when everything is said and done. And lag till 4500ish shouldn't bother me cause I'm used to waiting till 5500 for vtec anyways lol I definitely would look into a bigger turbo if I were you haha.

Also.. If you stay out of boost I don't see why ur gas mileage wouldn't suffer very much and with a gsr trans cruising 70 you should t be too far away from creeping into boost anyways with just a twitch of ur right foot

TheShodan

It would do that even with the smaller turbocharger, because the car is not in load. Why people think these super large turbochargers will help with real gas mileage I'll never figure out.

@crosser11: Just look at ALL your options available, and NOT just the ultimate HP number. You'd be surprised what 350whp will do for a lightweight sub-3000lbs car. getting full pressure by 3300-3400 under 20psi is nothing to laugh at with something 52-58lbs/min. Not to mention, with a full Garrett, if something were to happen in the future, you can pretty much repair it anywhere as opposed to sending it only one place.

LightningTeg

Typically T3/T4 50 trims do well on LS's.

I think you have a T28? That will make 300whp being pushed.

this is all motor whp man lol so not impressive at all like you meant it to be.

listen to the man "shodan" and you will be straight
