just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this turbo? and what where the spool up characteristics like?? shooting for 320whp ish on semi built h22 pistons&rods. A shop recommended this turbo to me..... so thats why im asking.

 

building h22 w t3/gt40.....dont belive it will be too big...will for sure push alot more HP that 320whp..more like 650 750or so max depending on the rest of ur **** of course...using top mount mani and fully built motor looking for around 550whp here in our 94eg hatch......

 

It shouldnt be too big. I am going to run a T66 on my h22 I dont know how the 2 compare but if your running a T3 hot side i would not worry about it.

 

thanks guys...... yeah, i was thinking with the t3 hotside it shouldn't be that bad.

 

wow if your shooting for only 320whp that is rediculouly oversized turbo for your application. Spool is gonna suck because the turbo is meant for high hp applications. Save ur self the money and research smaller turbos. there is many out there that will be good for what your looking at. GT30/35 is a good choice it will flow enough too keep you happy in the future and wont be as laggy.

 

You can use boost lag to your advantage if you learn how to drive with it. I used to run consistant 12.2 @ 124 with normal street tires on my LS turbo EG. The car didnt spin in any gear. Full boost was at 6,000 on a 7,500 revlimit I loved it

 

A T3/GT40 is essentially an SC61 which is a great sized turbo for that motor and you will have no problem whatsoever making your power goal. I run a T67 on a b16 talk about lag.

 

I have talked to a few other people that had the turbo on their car. They said full boost was right around 4K if not a little later. THe t3/gt40 has got the same compressor section as the GT35R.....

i know the gt35r is very laggy on a b18c. boost only comes on at 5000rpm

 

Sounds like a Gt3071R with a .63 hotside would spool quick, meet your goals, and leave you with plenty of headroom.

 

yeah no need for the gt40 for your power levels of 320whp unless ur looking for 500+ in the future. its up too you in the end.

 

iam running gt35r @ 15psi and got 360whp no problem full boost @ 5000rpm

 

i find it ironic that no one is screaming gt28rs. if someone had a b series and wanted 320hp, i assure you that would be the case.

you dont need anything as large as a GT3071r or GT35R, a gt28rs or gt2871r will be more than sufficient.

 

I run it on my D16, I likey
