I'm currently in the process of a turbo project for my gs-r b18c1 with a c5 block...I'm deffinitly getting a Garrett turbo I'm just torn between wut model I actually want...Im shooting for 350-375 whp with a very fast spool an incredible reliability...I plan on spending anywhere between 1300-1500 just for the turbo...I'm torn between two models in particular one being the gt3037r aka "gt30r" and the gt3076r...I'm also open for any other suggestions and will specify the internals im using if you guys are interested...

Any help is appreciated but please no b.s

Thanks
Josh

 

Why the c5 block????

 

Had the stock c1 bored to fit the forged itr pistons....stronger then the stock c1s

 

Still not getting why you want to boost a block with itr pistons??

 

not easy to do. you should get some lower compression pistons. if you dont wanna do that just go all motor

 

go easy on the guy

 

Was told the itr's could easily hold 8-12 lbs with out any issues plus I'm going with a 3mm head gasket for a little extra room in the cylinder....trust me guys I appreciate the help but the sarcasm doesn't do any good

 

maybe you should look it up....

 

I got the money to spend n I'm doing the build myself I'm just lookin for ideas....but back to the subject of turbos what do u guys recommend I'll probably get low comp pistons now since apparently turboing itrs are frowned upon

 

You should have mentioned the thick headgeasket in the first place, depending on how thick of one you should be okay. But yes just boosting a stock 11:1cr itr engine isn't the best idea.
You want lower compression otherwise you'll be blowing seals

 

an itr block will make that power with the comp. tunning is the key id run water meth

 

Obviously im going to use some arp head studs as well....and when it comes to a tune I have a p28 ecu with a Neptune chip and program...the guys tuning it for me a professionals and the best in my area...

But guys can we change this convo over to turbo suggestions please I need some ideas!:-)
