I'm trying to figure out turbo will be best for my frankstein setup so i can produce 450 whp. I was thinking T3/T04E ballbearing with ceramic blades but not sure what trim i should get?

 

.60

 

.60 for what the turbine housing or for the compressor housing

 

ooops sorry i meant run a 60-1

 

i hope you built up your internals.... if so, 60-1

if not, i have a t3/t4e ball bearing at 60 trim and im making 250 hp on stock internals....

have you ever felt boost before? its not something you wanna jump into....

 

for the turbine housing or the compressor housing or for both .60 trim i'm new to this turbo thing just tryign to piece my own kit together to put on my franksteind

 

ok... you have a frankenstein PRELUDE????????

and you want 450 hp??

450 hp on a turbo lude will cost you abotu 10k

i dont knwo where or why or how you would put a frankenstein on a lude, but thats more money

i hope youre rich

 

yes i have a frankstein lude with a h22 on a h23 with je pistons and rings with a ferrea value train. blueprinted and balenced ported and polished. with lower compression to 9.8 to 1 with type s cams

 

I doubt 10k will do it... I'm up to about 6-7k right now and still haven't put money towards the block.... but maybe if you get on some good deals you can piece a good kit... still doubtfull to me IMO...

 

dude

type s cams?????

come back to earth

 

the works cost the money but if you got friends who own a shop that will do it for free it helps out. plus cost on parts. type s cams are cheap till skunk 2 turbo cams come out.

 

type s cams WONT WORK on a turbo lude

 

how won't they work cams are cams. my freind has a prelude with the same engine i have with lower compression and type s cams cuz he wants ferrea cams and it runs over 500 hp so maybe you should learn and know what you are talking about. he does have a turbo but a big one and i don't want to have one that takes a whiloe to spool up and don't feel like using nitrous to help spool

 

ok genius, you obviously know everything

why dont you go ahead and put in those high compression cams in your low compression engine

 

what is the stock compression in a type s motor

 

i dont know, but i know its higher than the USDM, and it is DEFINATELY higher than your lowered compression

 

i'm still switching the cams with the skunk when they come out type s works i'll send you a copy of my boys dyno to prove it.

 

Have you heard of the term "blow by". No that's not slang for the hooker you met last night! If you got type s cams for a more aggressive profile that's fine for a NA motor but its not good for a turbo motor! The larger lobes allow for more air to enter the chamber on a NA motor, but when your are pushing it through the chamber via a turbo then you will actually be loosing power. I'm not saying that type s cams are all bad, but they do have a purpose and that purpose it is not to improve your turbo motor, its purpose is to give rich people something to blow their money on.

 

again i metion i'm getting the skunk 2 turbo cams whenthey come out.

 

I think type S compression is 10.6:1 i could be wrong... but either way i know its up there.. (matt0199 has a point..)

 

The "Type-S" has a 11:1 compression (not turbo friendly). Hey fastlude, you said that you put in some JE pistons and rings.....did you resleeve? If not I wouldn't even bother slapin the turbo on there until you do or go back to your stock pistons.

 

I resleved and recoated the sleaves

 

What kind of sleeves? and why would you "re-coat" them?

 

i'm not sure what kind my friend did that and i guess that the sleaves and piston in a h22 are coated with something to help wiht friction and that when you replace pistons that you have to recoat them at least thats what he heard so he did it. to help it not have friction. supposly it wears off aftermarket sleeves and piston after like three years so you should recoat them not sure though. he read it someone where

 

As long as you got an aftermarket sleeve you should be fine with the JE's. The "FRM coating" on the stock sleeves is actually Fiber Reinforced Metal that the sleeves are made out of. Forged pistons will literally eat those sleeves up within a couple months, then comes the blow-by. The bottom line is if you go with forged pistons it is HIGHLY recommended that you resleeve. If you stick w/ stock pistons you can stick with the stock sleeve. Good luck man.
