So after throwing around some prices, I've decided to take on a d-series turbo project.

I want to make over 300hp. That is my only goal.

I plan on buying this.

This Kit contains:
-FJ R Spec Custom Length D16 I Beam Connecting Rods
-ARP 2000 3/8" Rod Bolts
-ARP Lube
-YCP Vitara pistons (75mm / 75.5mm / 76mm)
-Wrist pins and C clips
-Piston rings (Hastings or NPR)
-Timing Belt
-Water Pump
-ACL Rod Bearings
-ACL Main Bearings
-ACL or King Thrust washers
-Full engine Gasket & Seals set--> Its all the gaskets and seals you will need for your engine from the oil pan and up to the head.Metal 3 layer Head gasket (approx .030 thickness)

I'm going to get a nice manifold made, but where I have NO idea what I want is the actual turbocharger.

Can somebody please help me find the best turbo to reduce lag and hit my hp goal? I don't want to hurt fuel economy too badly under 3500rpm but I don't want the spool-up to suck.

Do you think it's possible to keep this under $2000 aside from motor work?

THANKS!

 

bump, just want advice on which turbo you would use.

 

get a borg warner 57trim .55ar

on 17pounds you will surpass your goal without a doubt.

 

Thank you, that does seem to be a good one for my low rev-ing d-series, are there any distributors of these turbos online?

Thanks.
