ok guys im recently int he procees of building my lsvtec/turbo over winter.
Setup
B18b block
ls crank
cp 9:1 pistons
acl rod bearings
arp main studs and head studs and rod bolts
gsr oil pump,water pump
Golden eagle 84mm sleeves

head
itr cams, skunk2 valvetrain, aem cam gears, skunk 2 valves

MY QUESTION IS WHAT TURBO DO YOU GUYS WOULD WORK BETTER FOR ME. Im really wanting to make alot of power 500whp +, but would like to hit the streets once in a while so mainly 50/50 on the street/strip. /Also with which ever turbo what manifold do you guys recommend. I was looking toward the full race topmount.

Leave comments about turbos also,specs thank guys

 

gt35r if you can afford it

 

If you can afford it 35R, sc61 is a good cheap alternative though.

HEY GUYS IM SELLING A NEW GT3251B TURBO LIKE ABOVE FOR DETAILS

 

i hate the turbo lag on the sc61. wish i went with a smaller turbo

 

top mount with a 35r

 

ball bearing ftw

 

great question... been wondering this myself. Has anyone had both the sc61 and the gt35 on the same setup? I'm wondering if the gt35 is worth the extra$ (is spool/peak power better etc)

 

spool time with the 35r is amazing compared to the sc61. I have always seen the 61 to be quite laggy even though its a relatively small turbo

 

i hit full boost on sc61 by 4200

i hit full boost (19psi) on a 85mm ls motor around 5500 with the sc6152e

 

Ball Bearing! I will never own anthing else now that i have one....im spoiled

 

I can let u guys know when my car is done. i previously had an sc6169 on a stock b16. it would hit 20lbs, by 6500 or so. powerband was pretty useless on the street. my new setup will be with the 35r.

 

hey guys i used to have sc61 turbo it work out ok i only run 12.0 flat in 18lbs of boost, and i sold the turbo buy a t4/t67 top mount same boost 18lbs im making 505hrs powwer with stock b16 head. not even full boost with that and ran 11.01q/m and 133mph. last battle

 

if u want power, then obviously break the bank and get the gt35R. i forgot who posted a dyno comparison of the gt35R vs. sc61. but the gt35R made 50hp more than the sc61

 

Get the "TE61" from turboelements.com

 

Just my opinion, if you want a street car then the sc61 is too big and spools slow because of the lack of BB. But if you want the cheaper turbo, and dont really care about having a track only car then get it. If i was streched for money, id wait and get the GT35R when i could. I was actually thinking about getting a GT35R for street use too, but then i realized id get smoked by a lot of v8's because my spool/response time on that turbo would be too slow so i got the GT3076R .82

I love my GT35R.

My turbo is still spinning when I shut the car off for like 20-30 seconds, lol.

Dual Ball bearing is the best.

 

With both turbos they would be useless on the street from a Dig even with really good tires. You would be playing the catchup game against rearwheel drive cars. Highway roll ons is a different story though.

All turbos should do that. My 61mm sure does as well as all my others

 

Ive heard so many bad things about the spool with the sc61, 35R ftw.

 

Use SC61 for BMW 7 series 3.5L motor.

Costumer decision, will see.

any specifics on the setup?

 

Probably a 7.3 PowerStroke, a 0.48 A/R turbine housing dumping the exhaust straight into the atmosphere.

My GT30R spins for 53 seconds from shutdown with a 850rpm idle. I timed it
