any of you guys running a T3 turbo on your LS? i'm trying to decide if it is the right one. i'm looking at around 250hp. what times are you getting, hp numbers? also, i tried to search but since "T3" is two letters it doesn't work.

 

i have a t3, great spool up time. unfotunatley no time slips or Hp numbers to give. Still working on fuel management.

My impressions, it might not pull as hard as a t3/t4 but on fwy driving at 3200 rpms at 9psi. its already hauling *** and there's still 3600 rpms till redline. really great for street driving too

 

i also have a t3 turbo in my teg, its actually a b18a engine but pretty much the same, if you want higher hp like 250 and up, i would recomend a t3/t4 turbo. try searching t3 turbos, instead of jut typing in t3

 

Go with a T3/T4E, my buddy has that turbo and with a B20 stock motor his hatch went 12.9. That was with 24 inch slicks and just a FMU.

 

are you guys saying a T3 is too small? aren't T3/T4 turbos good for like 500+ hp? i only need half that, i'm not looking to do any bottom-end work, just a quick spooling and potent turbo. is there something between a T3 and T3/T4 that would be a good compromise?

 

I'm sure with the right trim it might be. But the T3/T4E turbo is a good all around turbo it doesn't spool up to quick but yet it still spools plenty fast at the track. It is fully spooled by like 3500 RPM's.

 

if you're looking for 250 whp, i'd go with a T-3 60 trim with a .48 a/r turbine housing.. or something similar...
