i am planning on boosting my d16y7 motor. the turbo will be a t3/t4 turbo .57 trim i believe. i am planing on using the greddy blue box and run 6lbs of boost. what do you guys and gals think? anyone here every done it? any feedback would be good. thanks ahead.

Im running a Y7 block but I have a Z6 head. I'm using a t3/to4e .48/.60 50trim. Made 273whp/224wtq at ~12.5psi.

A friend of mine has a complete Y7 tho (head and block) but it has pistons/rods. Precision SC50 (same specs as mine) and he made 296whp/256wtq (i forget the boost level).

 

damn.. nice numbers

 

yup im gunna do a t3/t4 pretty soon to. just waiting on a freind to come through with the turbo. im gunna boost around 8psi. lease till i upgrade the pistons and rods.

andy</TD></TR></TABLE>You're speaking of the random chinese turbo I take it. IMO it's way too big if you're running a stock motor, and probably won't start making boost until almost 5000 rpm's. And even when it does spool up the turbo will be out of its efficiency range anyway, and will still blow some heat through it. Bigger is not always better, use the smallest possible turbo for the power goal you want to achieve.

 

Stock versus 10psi (NOT Dynojet numbers, note the deltas...)
FullRace Stage I t3/04

 

i use the random chinese 57 trim t3t4 on my stock d16a6 motor.. runnin like 16 psi and its great.. starts spooling around 3K rpms...

57 trim is fine but not with a greddy blue box.. you need tuning if you dont want to blow your motor.. id say 8-10lbs tuned would be a fun setup..
just dont 1/2 *** everything

 

change y7 intake manifold. Why not a 50trim?

 

i appreciate all the replies. anymore ideas out there?

 

i would presume must of you guys are running on a .48a/r?

 

For only 300hp get a 50trim with a .48 a/r exhaust housing.

 

been through t3's t3/t4's and etc. Save up for a gt28 or gt2871r! trust me, you guys will love it.

It's a very nice setup you have there, not knocking that...but alot of money invested to barely hit the 180's @ 10psi, especially considering you can hit 220's and up from a 16g on a mustang dyno If it's a built block, crank it up...make good use of that turbo.<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by JoePSI &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">For only 300hp get a 50trim with a .48 a/r exhaust housing.</TD></TR></TABLE>Awesome turbo size for d16's. 60 trim's will take you a little bit higher too.
