ok thanks anyone know about brake upgrades i wanna keep the stock calipars but bigger rotors i seen in a magazine aem was selling biiger rotors and keeping the stock bracks but i can't find where i seen this ive been searching online and found nothing

AEM makes a kit, comes with larger rotors and brackets to move the calipers out. BUt im pretty sure you need to run 17" wheels to clear them.

If you're really concerned about braking, pick up a set of Brembo X-drilled rotors and some aggressive pads. That's what i did with my setup...i was having too much fade at the track so i upgraded. It was a good choice.

well i didn't buy a ram horn instead i bought a top mount does anyone know a good place to buy a turbo from for my setup not sure what size i need 400-500hp range but not 1000 bucks i have about 700 to spend on a new turbo ive been researching on sizes but have not made up my mind on what i should buy

PBR race pads with brembo cross driled and slotted rotors can be had on ebay for liek 225 bucks shipped. Then get your self a set of stainless steel teflon braided brake hoses to replace the factory rubber ones and you will have more than enough braking for the car. Big brake kits are definatly not needed for these small cars, the stock caliper with upgraded pads rotors and lines will be more than enough. I run this exact setup on my teg and it stop on a dime.

I believe i fyou have money burning a hole in your pocket you can get a set or spoon monoblock 4 piston calipers for about 2000 bucks but completely not worth it unless its a certified stripped caged track car or something

what ever you do, DO NOT get some no name brake rotors lol

here is a link

ty what turbo is good for my setup top mount 1000cc injectors tial wastegate 3 inch dp
looking 400-500hp something good for street and track what do your time slips look like

Turbo-LS

iTrader: (4)

60 trim t04e with a .63 or .82 hotside stage 3 wheel would get you to 500 maybe little more with race gas and 350-400 on pump gas

60-1 or 62-1 with a .63 hotside is also a great turbo, very streetable and a nice compressor map and good for 600range on race gas

then thers the sc60 sc61 gt35 mayn options

Schister66

The best turbo for your goals would fall into the GT30r, BW S256 / S258 range. An SC61 or GT35R are too large for your plans. Any of the aforementioned turbos (30r/256/258) will make around 400whp on pump gas (maybe more) and easily crack 550whp on race gas. Look into them...check my sig, you can see which i chose

But you can forget any of those larger, well matched turbos for under 700bucks. save a little more cash.

these are some of the sizes you recommended

TheShodan

iTrader: (14)

Right. For 400whp on pump gas... He lists it right here


T3/t4 61mm compressor wheel stage V turbine wheel ( comparable to SC61 ) 810 shipped
T4 P-trim turbine wheel with 61mm compressor wheel ( comparable to T3 SC61 or T61) 825$ shipped


I DO NOT recommend the 1st one he listed, 61mm compressor w/ stage III wheel. That is terribly mismatched

top mount came in today mounted it to my ls head to see how it would look i like it lol

Whatever

Those are main studs, not head studs. You bought the wrong thing... You also could of saved a ton of money by getting a cast top mount like Turbo-LS has on his car.

All you turbo guru's, would a Holset HX35 or HY35 work for him since he doesn't want to drop a ton of money on a turbo?
