I will be running a fully built sleeved d16y8 and having a problem choosing a turbo..this will be a daily drive so quick spool is important..looking for 300-350 to the wheels..i have a chance to get a gt30 dirt cheap..so i just want your guys opinion...thanks

my setup
d16y8 block 75mm
eagle rods
je pistons
blah blah blah

 

not really quick spool, but with a built head a SC 32 to SC 34 to SC 50 all good SC sereis and won't kill your wallet like a gt series
but ball bearing Yo
thats the spool u want

 

thats is what i was thinking but i have the chance to get a gt30 or gt28 (my choice) for an extremely good price..but im afraid that the gt30 will be to laggy but on the other hand i wanna go kinda big now cause i know im going to wanna go bigger later on down the road

 

get a sc-34 with a .63 ar, thats what I did and the turbo will spool fast and is awsome for your goal and still has the potential for more. 350whp is my goal this year also on a d16.

 

If you can get a killer deal on the GT30...There shouldn't be any questions.

 

bump

 

I went with a T3/T04e 50 trim .60/.63

 

dood go for more horsepower than that please.

dood you can realisticly get that horsepower amount from the motor . turbo will determine it.

i know the tune is everything but i need it to be reliable and i dont feel like spinning my tires all day..ill prolly tune it for 400-450 high boost and 250-300 for everyday..i drive about 75 miles a day and this is my only car...BTW the gt30 is the one i chose..

 

the tuning will make it reliable, you have a lot of people driving that many miles or more on this board, just look around

Well the GT28 is rated for 31 lbs/min so it should be good to about 300-310whp whether it's a D or B.
