ok i finaly got a ls swap for my rex. i want to run the stock bottom end for a while. but i want a turbo that will boost really quick. like i want to be in boost at like 2-2500 rpms. what kind of turbo is best for this. i want it to still hold good boost at 6500 rpms too. thanks for any help. thanks

 

ohh and i would rather get like a oem turbo or something used and cheap for now. cause i want to build the bottom end eventually. so i dont wanna spend 600 now and 6 months from now spend another 1200. i was thinkin like a dsm turbo or something. thanks lmk

 

Relax and do it right the first time.

 

well i dont mind buying a decent turbo but i want something to boost quick. and i want boost now. and i cant afford to build the bottom end right now. lol help. thanks

 

i want to win the lottery but i dont always get what i want haha


why on earth would you want boost so early? save your money and do it correctly the first time. anytime your talking about turbo'ing your car and say anything along the lines of "i cant afford" you should probably reconsider.....

its always more expensive to do it cheap.

 

well i understand it isnt cheap. i am gonna get it tuned. there are many ppl running 250 whp on a stock ls. i dont even wanna run that much. all i wanted to know is what turbo will boost quickly. thanks. i plan to build the bottom end. i got a spare ls block and i want to slowly build it as money comes in. and then when it is done all i gotta do is swap blocks and the turbo. and then put the old turbo on my eg hatch. thanks for ur help. im sorry i dont got 6 k i can spend in one day. thank u

 

well from the sounds of the turbo you want, its not going to make enough power to require a built block.

look into some of the garrett t3/t4 turbo's.

 

6k holy ****. What the hell are you trying to build? Your setup could be acheived for a reasonable amount. And yes i would look into a smaller t3/t4 or a t3 60trim minimum.

 

have you drove in a boosted honda before? IMO even a 3k full spool would be way too early.

I would save your money a little more and get something half decent. Boost is crack, once your boosted your gonna want more. My turbo fully spools about 4500rpm on a LS motor and I think thats perfect with my gsr trans. 2500 spool would be a tiny turbo, or a expensive bb turbo i would imagine.

 

wwell by the time u build the bottom end and the head and the turbo kit. and **** u would have like 4500-6000 in it easily. i just want a simple turbo on a stock ls until i can afford to build the bottom end. all i wanna do is make about 235 whp. and run high 12s. which is definatly possible in a gutted crx with my traction bars and some good tires. thanks for some opinions on my ?.

 

well all info has been given to you. What more are you looking for? Full boost by 2500 is rediculous. If you do find something that spools that early it will run out of steam on top. look for a t3/t4 50 trim/precision sc50/gt28r. Deals are everywhere. Look around.

 

thanks. i have been researching. and i asked the garret ppl and other turbo companies at nopi, and i think i am gonna get the garret disco patato. what do yall think about that turbo? thanks

 

if you want a turbo that will spool fast and a cheap one just get the greddy kit and some injectors and tune it

 

Get a T3 60 trim. I have one on my d16 and it fully spools 10psi around 3900rpm and pulls all the way past 7200. I'd imagine it spooling a little quicker on an ls. Nothing wrong with a quick spooling turbo. If you have money to spend then by all means go for a ball-bearing GT28RS.

 

im highly thinkin about just getting the turbonetics kit. so i will have everything.

 

forget the kits. Put it together yourself. Although you may not be capable of doing it yourself. I guess the kit is the best way. Get the apexi kit.

 

my ls-t is awsome, peiced it together, makes 246whp 208ft.lbs on 10psi, I couldent ask for more as of right now, it pulls awsome up top but still gets almost 30mpg in city cuz u can keep it out of boost easily, any quicker spool and it would suck as a dd, trust me

garrett t3 t04b 57t .63 a/r spools at 3000, full at 4300rpm

 

how much money do you actually have to spend? Only asking because you went from a OEM turbo, to a BB turbo, now to a kit. If you have the cash for a ball bearing turbo, or a kit. You can make a much better kit for the money.

 

well im on a tight budget. but i mean i can hustle up the money. and save for a while. i was just wanting a oem turbo cause i figured they would spool the fastest. and i would save some money until i build the bottom end. but ive been thinkin about it, and i would be better off just to get the turbonetics kit. so i can run it without tunning for like 1-2 weeks so i can convert to obd1 and tune with crome. so i think i will just get the turbonetics kit. i will keep an eye out and research some more when i get all the cash. has anybody seen the vecco kits? it is a decent looking kit. it has a turbonetics t3 t4. and warrantied and ****. ill find a link for it.

 

here it is. ohh and it isnt a vecco kit it is a treadstone kit.

looks ok I guess...... that dp looks like **** tho, u need eng manegment/ injectors/ fuel pump also if u go with that.

 

yeah i got a fuel pump and injectors. i would just convert to obd1 and tune with crome.

 

Bump...for further discussion of this kit...
