Im gettign a garret t3/t04e turbo, i was thinking about getting it with 57 TRIM W/ .63 A/R TURBINE.. Anyone know if this is a good size for my motor... if not what would oyu guys suggest.. bigger smaller..any opinions or facts will help.. let me know asap so i can order... Thanks

GARRETT T3/TO4E 60 TRIM W/ .63 A/R TURBINE Too big...???

both turbos with stage III turbines

 

57 is perfect....
there are a lot of guys here that makes a lot of power 300 plus on less than 10 psi with that setup...

I made 256 at 6.5psi with 54 trim....

 

Gotta know more, What type of redline and what kind of boost and horsepower goals? 57 trim is still somewhat big but almost universal like a 54 trim too, in reality sometime T3/T04B have good spec turbo too like a Super V wheel is very good and comes in alot of kits, good spool and goo top end too. It all depends on your set up and goals. Let me know, Redline, Boost Level, Displacement. I'll do the compressor maps for you, or call Turbonetics or Innovative Turbo and ask them, even if you are going o get a Garret from a diff distribuotr, use your resources.

 

Max 9 psi (higher in distant future after rebuild for low compression)

Stock Internals

8k redline (want the turbo to be effecient till 8k at least)

let me know what you think, your opinion really does matter, cause i need to order this thign asap... thanks

I'm really thinking a 54 trim, .63 A/R Turbine with a Stage III wheeel, I think the 57 trim may be getting too big since you will not boost alot and running real high rpms, even a 50 trim would work. But remeber you say 8k rpm and 9psi now, later it will 18psi and 8500rpms So I feel run big for more potential in the future. A 57 or 60 trim would be good and if you think you want 400+ then T3/60-1 definately. HTH

 

well if its a tado n the larger side itsn to a problem.. any ideas on when it might be fully spooled by? thats the major concern is turbo lag.. i know no matter hwat im gonna have it but i just dotn want too much.. Let me know..thanks

Kyle

effiecency range isnt a problem.. is it?

 

All depends also on your downpipe size, efficiency of your manifold, headwork, Compression ratio is a big factor too. But this is stock right? Stock GSR start boostin low 3k rpms and full boost by at least 4k rpms, Pull strong all the way to redline. Once you start boosting the FF breaks loose. :D

 

sweet man.. i think i will go with that turbo.. not makin a mistake am i? this is a rather large investment to me at thsi time... haha.. thanks
