Just wanting suggestions, not insults.

I have a stock Si.

My set-up is:
Peakboost ramhorn
Garret 35R (currently .82, looking for a .63 right now... V Band)
3" Downpipe
2.5" Piping all around
PWR Intercooler Good for roughly 400
Tial 38mm
RC 770s

I wanted a 30R but I got the manifold and turbo for the price of the turbo alone (Its brand new) So what should I be expecting?

 

When you tune, what kind of power will you be shooting for?

 

330-350ish? I honestly don't know what to expect.

 

a shitload of a lag and ski jump powerband?

Thats a great turbo but a horrible turbo for your power goals. Just an fyi. Im sure itll still be fun but theres better solutions out there.

 

It will run good. Around 13psi should get u 320 give or take. the lag shouldent ren ally matter. .82 wii be fine too.

I ran a t4 bw366 on a stock ls it was a handfull to keep it spooled with a 7200 rpm redline.

You should be fine

 

i had a 35r on a worked 2l gsr motor and the lag wasnt bad but it was there. I can only assume it will be worse on a stock b16. also i think he could get to 300-320 on 8-10psi.

 

I would try to look for the .63 a/r housing if you can. Would definitely help out the mid range.

 

That's what I plan on doing.

Around what RPMs would I be at full boost?

 

I'm jealous you got that manifold/turbo.

Race gas + 18 pounds + your ITR cams + my tuner ...mid 400s.
Do it.

 

Race gas I could handle.
18lbs? Not so much unless we are talking about the future with the built block. Thats the max & pushing it. But Shad? You'd have some persuading to do.

They are JDM GSR cams

 

if the turbo is brand new why not sell it and get a 30r since that is what you said you wanted
if not id say 10 psi will make mid 300's easily

 

I do not want to hijack the thread, but would compressor surge become a factor with such a beefy turbo?

 

it'll be ok.. you should be able to make 300 with around 8-9lbs, but you are going to have to rev it to the moon to make the power

my buddy had a setup like that, it made 310 on 8lbs at 10700 rpms, the power was still climbing but it was a stock block and i didnt feel like cleaning up a mess in the shop. we pulled the motor after about a month or 2 of that.. the bottom end was toast, stock rods are not meant for that.

make sure you upgrade the valve train. if you keep the stockish redline w/that setup its going to fall out of boost w/every shift.

 

my b16 with 35r with .63 housing- 5500 rpms..

 

my b16 with t-61.. pretty much non bb 35r with .82 exh housing.. 5500ish rpms.. and pulls like hell till 9000.... then never falls out of boost..

 

what kind of valvetrain were you using to rev to 10700rpm? were you doing that just for fun or was there a reason?

 

race gas + 18 psi is deff possible. i know someone local running more psi and on ethanol making over 400.

you know my setup Trojan Man. youve seen my numbers.

 

ill trade you my 57trim for you 35R... wayyyy better power band for you...and also meets your goals!

 

Umm...I would think not.

 

I have a Precision .57 trim also. I've had it this whole time from my old set-up. It's still in working condition, but I'm afraid anyday now that the seals will blow. & I have no goals. My only goal is to get this bitch running. Been extremely to long.

I might do a WTT thread for a 30R.

Well either way, I'm not trying to push a stock B16 to 400whp. I know its going to eventually blow up, thats why I have another block getting ready to be built. But I don't want to get it tuned and then it automatically goes pop. I'd be pissed, so I want to get some use out of it.

Another question to anyone... What should I do as far as a oil restrictor?

 

Why not just wait for that block to be built then put the kit on? Sounds like a pain in the *** plus a waste of your money to get 2 motors tuned for the same setup. I have a built block running NA. I'm patiently waiting to boost again, unless you want to trade blocks?

 

somewhere i read .035 for gt bb turbos. dont quote me on that tho.

not with that attitude...****...b16's can take a lot tho, i wouldnt underestimate it.

 

.035 for a GT35R would be correct

 

there is no way I would rather have a 30R then a 35R in this App.

 

care to explain?
