ok so im slowly pecing together a turbo kit for my dd all i want outta this motor is 250-300whp nothing big its a 96 gsr i just got a drag log manifold for $40 i got it cuz i can run a/c and p/s with this manifold but my q is i wanna have a turbo that doesnt build boost till 3-3.5krpm my car is a bit of a sleeper and wanna keep it that way so lmk what turbo u would suggest and btw im gunna be running a aftermarket side mount intercooler for stealthyness your opion would help tho on turbo size

 

T-bird t3 60/48 ar. Can make 250whp and spool time is about 3.5k full boost with a gsr. And it will be light on the pocketbook too.

 

money doesnt matter and i dont want fullboost at 3.5k lol start boosting at that so its scilent

 

I wouldn't worry about how it's gonna sound, as it probably won't be that loud anyway.

 

ik but i just wanna keep is so u cant tell its turbo uk what im saying so no spoolin at idle ect what size turbo should i get

 

then get the tbird 60/63. If your only looking for 250-300 thats what I would go with. Otherwise go buy a gt30 and spend all your money on that with a $40 manifold. I just figured since you were only buying a $40 turbo mani that you were on a budget. SO have fun with boost creep with that mani. Just look at it as Gods gift of boost.

 

You won't spool anything at idle. Get a small turbo, something like the other poster was suggesting with a .48 hotside and you should be good. Also, having boost sooner is a good thing. It's no fun waiting for your turbo to spool up.

 

The funest street setup I ever had was a stock d16a6 with a hf mani and a adapter plate with a rhb5 from a 88 turbo suby. Full boost at 2100 rpms. And max tq @ 3k. Would have been a great autocross setup.

 

Also, if you go turbo, you won't be allmotorryan anymore.

 

boost creep? its a drag log manifold my buddy needed cash so he sold it cheap thats why i got it for 40 lol and i wanna run a/c and p/s and ik this works with that onlny reason i got it explain more about the boost creep tho never heard of a manifold creeping without a leak

 

Stick to All motor Ryan


I dont know If you plan on running a external waste gate on your setup, But Ive heard that the Drag Style manifolds like to boost creep Due to the waste gate placment. But if you run the 60/63 Like I was talking about earlyer, you can run the internal wastegate on that and not have to worry about creep with it.


On another note, A very very fun setup would be to run a 14b off of a DSM, It would Be a street car killer!

 

ooi never head of them doin that lol my buddy has a dsm turbo i mite buy with internal wastgate if i get that do i just blockoff the wastegate hole? in new to boost lol

 

Yep, Just block it off with a plate and a gasket.

GSR + 14b = pee pee tickle all day on the street!

 

i just foudn 2 dsm turbos for $50 gunna go check them out tonite

 

57 Trim

 

there t25 dsm turbos is that a good turbo?
Garrett DSM T25 Turbo


•Compressor Side AR.48 with 55 Trim Compressor Wheel
•Exhaust Side AR.49
•Internal Wastegate

 

Lol, $40 mani, $50 turbo(s), yea...money isn't an issue. I suggest that you take it to a shop that knows what they're doing and they'll get you running right. Good luck. I wish I was ballin like that.

 

back in the day when my gsr was stock i put a turbonitics t3/t4 50 trim 63ar on 10lbs made 255hp on a very conservative tune. ran 7.8 in the 1/8 in a del sol.

 

no one would tell me a turbo they said dsm turbo i found it for 50 lol ive decided to sell the manifold and just buy a whole kit with tuning and all
