i can't decide which turbo im gonna use. i already have some parts for my turbo set-up for my k20a3 (2.0l), but now i need to go for the big stuff (turbo, manifold, etc) i was planning on using a sc50 or a sc61 turbo ( 69 trim .63 a/r comp housing), but i dont know which one will spool faster. i dont know much about turbos, so i need you help. yeah yeah im a newb so be cool.

thanks

ps: i searched and didnt find anything helpful about k-series.

sc50 will spool faster since it is a smaller turbo

What are your plans for the car? how much power do you want to make? the sc50 will spool faster yes but the sc61 will have more potential if you are looking for big big power!

HaTcH_BmX

well, i want the big power like everybody else. and seems like the k-series is a pretty good motor for boost. so yeah i want big power on this motor. lee was pushing down 455whp on stock sleeves only with a block guard and pistons.
at first im looking around 350-400 whp before i sleeve the block. ( im gonna use wiseco pistons and cybernation rods)
so what do you guys recommend?

HaTcH_BmX

ok, thanks evreybody for the help

SC50 will be good for 350-450whp with a faster spool.
SC61 will be good for 500-600whp.

I am going SC50 on my built D16.

for a k

sc61 all the way it would be sick.

but can i just start with the sc61 with 350-400 whp and then upgrade my set up ??? not the turbo

Which is why I gave 100whp range of horsepower. Yours will make more towards the top end of that range, my 1.6 towards the mid low end of the range of horsepower.

Sure can. Start with low boost. Raise it when you're ready.

a friend of mine told me that the sc61 will spoll around 3500 ish rpm.. is that true?? otherwise ill be in the turbo lag city, like another friend told me (harv)

HaTcH_BmX

at what rpms will it spool??

slowsi00

sc61 should spool good with 2.0k motor.

on a b16 with lower compression i got spool around 4.5k - 5k

you should see it around 3500 with a decent manifold and dp setup.

shorty manifold and a 3" downpipe , is that good?

An equal length, tubular style manifold like the Lovefab SST would help it spool better.

do lovefab make custom manifolds?? because i dont think they are making one for the k-series. i may be wrong

I have a SC50 .48 exhaust for sale, I totalled my 00 ex that it was in. Only had it for about a month and a half and i bought it brand new from arturbo.

PM me if anyone is interested, i'll let it go for a good price

HaTcH_BmX

no thanks, that's too small for what im looking for.
im about to buy an sc61 69 trim tomorrow.
