So i am beginning to put together a turbo set up for my 00 GSR. i am not wondering which would be a better turbo. Im going to buy it from Cheapturbo.com. I would like the pros and cons on each of the turbos such as lag and power....etc if possible on my particular set up. There are Turbo GODS on HT and i was wondering if anyone could help make my decision easier! Thanks In Advance!

Heres the 3 i was thinking!

Also open to other suggestions....preferably on garrett T3/T04E
I appreciate it!

 

I had the 57 trim on my car before and love it. I made 287whp @ 9lbs with it on a rev-hard kit.

 

get at least the 57 trim...

but it really depends on how much power you plan on making...

 

ok great thanks....but eventually i would like to hit 350whp with some block work....but for now i will jsut stay at prolly low psi....i mean they are the same price? does any one spool faster? i want it to spool low....but also be able to make power later

 

where are all the HT Turbo GODS at?

I have this one on my pretty stock GSR motor. In my opinion it spools up a little late for daily driving. I get full boost by about 4700 rpms. I am switching the compressor housing for a .48 to spool up faster. Should resond better for a daily driver.

That turbo has a NASTY top end though. But personally I would go with something slightly smaller for a daily driver. The smalller turbo will still support 350 horses easy.

 

i have the 57 trim, .63 housing...dyno numbers coming soon...

 

ill will probably end up goin with this one...just cause you aid it might spool a little quicker and it would easily support 350+ whp....but it wont make as much power as the other 2 corect? but it will spool lower? how much is the difference in power on them?

But where do you start to spool or boost at? i would like to be in the 4000 range, but still be able to make enough power later on without having to switch **** on the turbo. and i dont exactly know the difference in power between these turbos or pros and cons

 

The 50 trim will be fine for 350whp. No reason to go bigger. I have the 57 trim on my b18c, and I am happy with it. I would like a little better spool, but I think it is good now because it is hard to get traction as is.

I start to spool in the 3000 range. Full boost in the 4000 range.

If you want a quicker spool just remember to get a large dp like 3", and use something like 2.25" IC piping, and an EBC helps too.

 

so now im just debating between 57 and 50 trim? I plan on doing a 3" DP and definately like 2.25 MINIMUM IC piping. But im leaning towards the 50 trim because people are saying it will spool lower and still creat great power. So thats what i think im going to do, 57 trim becase he says his spools in the 3000 range with full boost in 4000 which is what i want....and i think its a little more capable of creating more power!....but keep em coming on what you have and why you like it.

 

uppity!!

 

i am going to CheapTurbo on friday to pick up a T3/T04E 57 trim .63 A/R!! hope to make good power....especially with Alex's (toyosupr) manifold!!

I got same Size, but with a Turbonetic. Start spooling at 3,2oo rpm Full Boost around 4,ooo rpm... ( Been leaking somewhere lately )...

Good choice though.

 

Thanks mang!! I hear turbonetics isnt all that good case they leak alot? i dunno....but alb. NM....haha good times of being **** *** drunk on the way to arizona from illinois!!! haha

 

innovative gts61 or the garret gt35r

 

i got the .57 trim and o man is it fun. it is very hard to get traction in first gear and when boost hits in first it takes like .1 seconds for the rpms to jump from 4000 to 8000. so i personally try to avoid racing at lights but damn it ******* pulls in every gear. i hit 290whp @9psi on stock b18c1 block. cant wait to upgrade internals and hit around 350. u should be happy with it.
