upgrading turbo, ideas?
ok, I have a t3 turbo .48 on the hot side, .42 on the compressor, I was originally just going to put it on and see where it tops off and go from there, but now I am thinking about buying a super60 compressor housing and wheel and having someone put it together for me, do you guys think I will need a new bearing housing for this to work? you guys got any good sites for parts or people that would do this kind of build up?
oh yea, goals are 250-300 whp on a d16z6, I am stubborn and refuse to move up to a T3/T4, I would rather have a broad power band with less peak HP than vise versa.

Re: upgrading turbo, ideas? (TurboDC4)
ahh, obviously same boost level on two different the turbos, the bigger turbo is going to flow more creating more power, anyhow I plotted some #'s against the super 60's compressor map and the guessed boost levels it's going to take to reach 250-300 put it in the compressors prime efficiency range, so back to the question fellas, do you guys think I will need a new bearing housing and can you point me to some good references to some one that could do this build up for me?

I had that exact turbo on my car and it SUCKED!
haha, anyway, that turbo would be good for a lower displacement engine such as a d series or even a b16 but I can see it being really ineffecient on a larger engine.

210 with a T3 super 60??
I've talked to someone on here from cheapturbo (I think that's where there from) was quoted a price that cost more than a new turbo

Re: upgrading turbo, ideas? (Mpir3)
I do not like junkyard ghetto set ups, I don't think anyone is reading the thread! I DO NOT plan on using the turbo as is, I want to upgrade it to a T3 super 60, just trying to figure out what all it would take/find a reputable person to do it

if I don't find someone who can upgrade it for me at a good price, I will probably end up selling it, so I will keep you in mind
