EJ8 GSR-T

Hey i need advice on which turbo to go for? I am building up my gsr with forged 9:1 comp pistons, and eagle h beams. I am looking for about 350ish hp and its on a gsr tranny so its not real short geared but no to long (may have some relevance as to low or top end power). So any ideas? something preff with a t3 exhaust because its a lot easier to find a manifold for this.

anyone?

RogueWorks

any of the T3/TO4E turbos will get you to 350hp+

What will be the best trim to get me just over 350? something with enough high end, but not something that will take till 8k to spool

RogueWorks

57 would work great
60 would be fine too, tad more lag

haha i was looking into those but new they cost to much and i dont want a used turbo....rogue. what do you think would be better 57 trim or 60

RogueWorks

57 trim will be plenty for 350, and still have a great spool time.

you answered you own question right thre...you dont want a used turbo...this is how you exploit the whole retail overpricing crap...i got my turbo $215 shipped used...to be quite honest it was nearly new...a lil oxidation but mint....spent $75 on a rebuild kit and $40 to have it rebalanced...i have a brand spankin new turbo that is in the ballpark of sc61's & 60-1's for nearly half the price...did i forget to mention that off the hx35 base...you can pick up a used hx40 compressor & housing and make upwards of 700whp...ya its a big boy...but hey whateva floats your boat

ps. i thkn spoolin still has a hc1 he's had for quite sometime...im sure hed make you a decent deal

yeah and that sounds like a great idea, im just kinda crunched for time so a new turbo, ready to go would be much easier, i just cant decide which trim
