hey
i was going to get a t4 from my friend but he backed out. So i am going to buy a new turbo. i would like a one that can throw down like 400whp no problem. i have a built gsr(piston, rods, sleaved, ect. no head work yet. thats after i get the turbo when i can get some more money together) so it can take it. right now im supercharged. on cheapturbo.com the have a t3t4, tial 38mm wastegate, and intercooler for like 1100. seems like a sweat deal.
(again this is my street car)

i dont mind lag as long as it pulls when it hits boost. i know mad people run a t3/t4.
sc61s (is a sc61 simular to a strait t4?) is see lots running these but they seem to be more track cars.

i know this has been beaten to death but just looking for some others opinions.

(bunch of my friends have fast cars. mine was the fastest but they are starting to pull on me with the blower. so i need to spank them. besides there not hondas. SR20det ser, eclipse turbo, 323 turbo, vr6 soon to be supercharged.)
i got to some um

you dont need that big of a turbo to put down 400whp...you need to be more specific..like do you want 400whp on pump or race gas?...is that the max power you want, or do you want room for more?

stickshiftt

deff. what room for more. it is a street car so i want to run pump gas. but will run race gas on the weekends some times. i would like to run like to run like 11 to 14 psi for daily driving and 20 to 24 with race gas. see what i can get for #s. im getting plx m500, uberdata in the works just waiting for my burner. but i deffinatly want room for more.

Ever consider the traction probs you're likely to run into with a ~400whp fwd car? If you're sr20det se-r friend puts down 250, and you're putting down 400, he'll most likely whoop you off the line because you're either be a. spinning your tires through 1st, 2nd, and into 3rd, or b. babying it through the first 3 gears so you don't vaporize your tires. Either way your bud will be ahead. Don't make a dyno queen. I say aim for a turbo that'll give you 300whp at moderate boost with room to grow, for those longer runs down the track where you have ET's and traps to make you feel better for cutting 2.70 60ft's lol supra. Then work on putting that power to the ground (traction bars, motor mounts, suspension, slicks maybe?).
No point in making a sledgehammer if its too big to swing.

this is deff. not a # pusher im looking for. like i said its a street car. i was hopping for some where in the rang of 350whp at around 14 or lower psi. my car now has about 230 to 240 with the supercharger. and he is killlin me.

i realize the problems with no traction problems with high # fwd cars. i dont want high # all day long only when i crank the boost up.

so what are some trubos that have good efficiency around 350 but still have room for more..(ill ask arturbo.)

gritsak

theres ways to get around traction problems..not completely but you know..

heres some turbos to look into... sc61, full-race t3/t67, good old t3/60-1, and look into some of the innovative turbos..theres lots to choose from..just do searches
