Hey guys, Gonna be hopefully going turbo in the next year. Gonna start collecting the parts soon. I'm new to the whole turbo thing and don't know much. I have a plan (based on some smart local guys), but I need feedback on brands and my setup in general. Here's my plan so far

t25 turbo..*t3*
Turbonetics Deltagate wastegate

Stock Z6 head

Y7 Block
Sleeves - ??? (suggestions)
Rods - Tuner Toys
Forged rings - ??? (suggestions)
Pistons - Wiseco/Arias/CP
Balanced crank (polished)
Injectors - DSM 450's
HF manifold

Oil Cooler - ?? (suggestion)
Tunertoys oil lines

New OEM D-series axles

2.5" turbo-back exhaust


Gonna piece together the rest...but hoping for about 250 whp for reliabilty.
Let me know what you think

i would def. get a bigger turbo at least t3 super 60. your going to be pushing the limits of a t25 at 250 whp. i dont know how your going to use an external wastegate with a hf manifold. i would get something tubular also. sleeves shouldnt be need unless your planning on over 400whp. i dont know what your planning on for engine managment but it is def. a must. and put a decent clutch on there as well.

 

Thanks man! I'm new to the boost thing like I said....

I'm gonna use crome to tune it with uberdata as engine management, and i need a new clutch soon anyways...so thats gonna be priority # 1

 

Well...been doing my research and i'll just use a chipped p28 ecu ad tune it with crome...

t25 turbo..*t3*
Turbonetics Deltagate wastegate ------------- another good cheap fast spooling turbo is a 14b off of a dsm

Stock Z6 head

Y7 Block
Sleeves - ??? (suggestions) ------ dont need them if your shooting for 250hp
Rods - Tuner Toys ------ dont need them if your shooting for 250hp
Forged rings - ??? (suggestions) ------ rings come with pistons most of the time
Pistons - Wiseco/Arias/CP ------ dont need them if your shooting for 250hp
Balanced crank (polished)------ dont need to if your shooting for 250hp
Injectors - DSM 450's ------ perfect
HF manifold ----- this is fine, but you can find a used log manifold in the classfields pretty cheap

Oil Cooler - ?? (suggestion) ------ dont need them if your shooting for 250hp
Tunertoys oil lines ------ good choice, its what i run

New OEM D-series axles

2.5" turbo-back exhaust

Just put headstuds in and boost the stock motor. 250hp is attainable with a good tune.

I would also suggest a walbro 255 fuel pump and dont forget about a resistor box for your injectors, and intercooler, piping and a bov. Headstuds would be a good idea if you plan on making over 200hp also.

If I were you, I'd pick up a 14b turbo, a hf mani, a boost controller, and headstuds and run around 12psi TUNED.

I'm on a stock z6 with headstuds right now and im running 13-14psi street tuned for right now with a log mani and 14b (spools fast, very fun turbo)

 

I know I could run pretty much stock with decent reliability, but I want ot BE SURE.

I've got to drive 2 hours round trip roughly twice a week and cant afford to lose my car...

 

If your using a T25 sleeves wont be necessary.. there are a few people that are running around 400Hp on stock sleeves and have had no reliability issues.. Another good option if you are on a budget would be the Vitara pistons.. FJT - a member on here and turbod16.com sells them for around $125 and they have been proven to hold 400HP

 

I've decided to use a t3...

I've heard vitara pistons, but I'm wary of those...
