Precision 5857 vs 6262
im stuck on these 2 turbos for my K20. its a daily driven grocery getter, take to the track once a month. My goal is 400whp at not too high of boost (10-12psi). just wondering what are the spool times for these 2 turbos. is the 5857 spool a lot quicker then a 6262? should i just get the 6262 and call it a day? just want some feedback with people who have these turbos...

Re: Precision 5857 vs 6262
precisions billet 5857 is rated at 500whp and will definitely spool faster than the 6262. If youre looking to use this for your daily driver and only want 400whp, the 5857 will get the job done for you.
My local shop Full Blown Motorsports highly recommended this turbo for me, and I got to check it out in person when I went to talk to them. One of their employees is actually using this turbo on his VW rabbit build.

Dont let the deciding factor be psi. Psi really isnt the issue here, the CR of your car however might be. Your best bet would be to put a thicker head gasket on and get a really good conservative tune. And if you have E85 in your area, you could consider running that as well.

Im saying the 5857 will suit your goals better. Youll just end up having to turn the boost up a bit more, and that isnt necessarily bad. the 5857 however wont reach the numbers the 6262 will, but if youre not looking to make high HP numbers then theres really no need for it.
You wont be pushing the capabilities of the 5857 for 400hp, which is an easily attainable number for K20's

Yep you are correct, and you are also correct about the other statement. Why go with a 6262 when the 5857 can reach your goals just fine, and is smaller so it will spool a little quicker.

Re: Precision 5857 vs 6262
car is basically a grocery getter/get me to work car. i bring it to the track like twice a year. mostly just cruise on the street, maybe a little light to light action. our chassis (8th gen civic si's) right now are have transmission issues with cars making ~500whp, hence why i want to stay in the 400whp range. BUT once something drops to fix our transmissions i would want to shoot for 500whp.

Re: Precision 5857 vs 6262
if all things are equal say both turbos make the same tq and power at 7psi Vs.30psi
it will be the same amount of stress on the engine
remember boost is just the amount of "pressure" the turbo is making not the "volume" of air it is putting in the engine
think of it this way the small turbo is a straw and the bigger turbo is a 3 inch pipe, if you blow through them the bigger one is going to allow for alot more air than the smaller one at the same pressure
you get what im saying?

Re: Precision 5857 vs 6262
well youre saying you want to make 400 here, and then 500 here. make up your mind and tell us the end result of your goal, otherwise youre only going to be wasting your own time and money.
If 500whp is the goal for your car, then you may want to reconsider the type of turbo you want to use. K series trannys already have transmission issues to begin with so building for 500hp may come sooner than you think
you also might want to let us know if you want to make 500 on pump, e85, or race gas.

Re: Precision 5857 vs 6262
I will tell you for a fact... you will hit 400whp and you will want 500whp... when you hit 500whp you will want 600whp.
get the 6262 and call it a day. its the best bang for the buck turbo on the market and you will not have a worry about if you made the right choice with your money...

Re: Precision 5857 vs 6262
i have a Bone Stock K20z3 right now. I have a Precision 5252E on the car right now that made 462whp at 14psi on 93 pump. things were going great and then i blew the oil seal on the turbo. heavy smoking and oil dripping out the turbine bolts. so now im in the market for a new turbo. RIGHT NOW i dont want anymore power then that. people are poping transmissions left and right with 500whp or more on our chassis/engines and i do not have the money for a new transmission nor upgraded gears, so 400whp is where i would like to stay. In a year from now or so, when i have the money and if i still have the car, i would like to build the transmission and shoot for 500whp on pump gas, stock motor k20z3.
again this car is driven daily as a get me to work/grocery getter. i dont really track the car nor want to. just like to have the power if and when I want it. its sweet to say you have a 500whp stock motor 4 door civic...
so theres the scenario....

Re: Precision 5857 vs 6262
Get the 5857. It should meet your goals just fine. Probably will make 400whp on 8-10psi without much trouble really.
To who said a 30r will spool faster. No it will not. We just put one on a friends SRT. 3076r full boost at 3800, pump and meth. Billet 5857, full boost at 3600 on just pump gas. Meth kit wasnt working so had to run nearly no timing. Both .63 housings. Gonna get the meth working and get it back on the dyno and run more timing. Considering the size of the 2, the differences in compressor housings. Id say the 5857 spooling 200 rpms faster then the 30r is quite drastic.

get the 5857. can't believe people are recommending the 6262 for a DD with what he wants. i drove in a 6262 as i was thinking about that one, and the lag was a huge turn-off. 5857 ftw

Re: Precision 5857 vs 6262
There's alway talk about how good these billet turbo are but I don't ever see too much good post about it.. I would go with the gt30r or gt35r with more room to grow later if u get power happy
