been doing some searching on what turbo to use for a drag car we are building.

basic set up is
d16z6
p&p head
springs
retanors
cam
--------
vitara
eagle
hondata or motec ????
pump fuel

would the gt35 be too big for this sort of set up ??

 

We are using a 35R on our set-up and it has been working great !

 

how much power are you trying to make?

 

over 400


was looking at some numbers of the spa gt35, searched and it looks like there not a bad turbo


im going to go with a garrett turbo but do i go with a gt30 or a gt35

 

found a GARRETT T3/60-1 are these more or less the same as a gt35r other than the ballbering ?
spec is

COMPRESSOR SPECS:T04S housing

flow: 61 lbs/min 781cfm

.70 A/R housing

60 TRIM wheel

TURBINE SPECS:T3

.63 A/R housing

HIGH FLOW 76 TRIM stg 3 wheel

oil lubricated centersection.

for use with external wastegate.

Comes standard with 360 degree thrust bearing

supportable of 575whp

from PFABRICATIONS

 

any one ??

 

That 60-1 specifications that you're showing CAN do over 400whp as it sits, but it needs to have the larger exhaust wheel for the top end and over 500whp mark.

As for other choices, there are a LOT of other turbos in the Garrett and BW camps that can reach that without a problem. The differences are in your budget, flanging and availability. Look to other people's setups to see their subtleties . Otherwise, this gets vague and endless.

 

thanks , thats were im at now , ive got that many numbers of parts going through my head and ive read that many build ups my heads spinging haha , i want somthing that will hole 500bhp just in cast i end up wanting more ,like we allways do.
