well im am planning on boosting my hatch soon but i am unsure on what turbo to but everything else ive got.
well here are my goals

engine b18c1
goals 290-320 hp to the wheels
i am not planning on boosting over 11 psi
i want to keep this reliable and daily driven

i plan to have 2 tunes one for about 230hp and the other up to 320
i want to know which turbo will be good for this goal i dont want to buy a huge turbo because i am not planning to go farther than this goal i am not sure on the size of turbo or brand to buy if somebody can help me choose and direct me in the right way

thanks

What's your budget? Do you want a custom turbo kit? Or a pre-made kit? If its your first time, you can go with a pre-made kit. Unless you really know what is needed in a turbo kit.

 

im really just looking for the turbo alone i have pretty much a good idea of everything else

 

GT28RS if you are absolutely sure you will never want more than 350whp (which should be an animal on the street), GT3076r if you plan on upgrading in the future...

Why not? Anyway, the gurus would often say, "you'd have to base your goal on hp, not psi."

again, I'd never start with a t2 framed turbo on the b-series. If you ever wanted to upgrade you'd have to buy a new manifold and downpipe.

get a .57 trim t3/t4, inexpensive and it'll make the power you want with room to go and good top end flow.

 

what does 57 trim t3/t4 turbo mean like the ones that sell on ebay because i only see that name on ebay where can i get this 57 trim t3/t4 turb from exactly if this is what i need for my goals where can i get it from

ok thanks for your input so if i buy that turbo everything will be custom to that setup

well its just that the GT28RS uses a T28 flange so your manifold will have to be a T28 style manifold, if you ever want more power you will have to step up to a T3 flanged turbo so you will for sure need a new manifold and with a new manifold you will need a new downpipe.

 

Personally, I like the GT3255b myself. Check my sig for the results with the stock B18C1. See if that helps ya..

 

what do you mean with out the turbine housing


and whats the diffrence between a oil cooled turbo

and a oil and water cooled turbo is there a big diffrence in cooling

 

bump help

 

turbohatch......

If you ABSOLUTELY ONLY want 300-320whp.

T2 based:
-gt2871

T3 based:
-t3 60 trim
-t3 super 60
-t3/t4 50 trim with the .48 a/r turbine housing
-The turbo mac suggests, the gt32

GL.

If he's gonna go with a t3/t4 turbo the 50 trim .48 a/r turbine housing would be much better suited for him.
