Just curious if anyone runs a t3/t04e on a sohc and whats your setup is like and your thoughts of it. I've always run rhb5 on all my setups just for price and availability of them at my local pick and pull. Now that I've decided to pipe up and make a nice turbo kit. I bought a turbonetics t3/t04e 50 trim stage 3 wheel for a nice price and never have ran a t3 before I'm just wondering is this gonna be like a night and day difference? Hell for the price I couldn't pass it up even if it's gonna be too big or I won't see boost till like 5k. Yeah I know your probably gonna be like ummm night and day, try like...... It's going on a z6 shortblock with a y5 head. Yeah yeah why the hx head but I just like the rollerrockers. Don't ask but vtec activates on 3.5k on my chipped p28 for it so it actually pretty nice.

 

This is a pretty vague question, but in short, yes.

i have a sohc vw motor with 2L displacment. i was running a 50 trim t043 with a stg 2 .63 ar hotside.
worked fine but i would get surging when i slowly lifted up the throttle during boost.

i now run a "super 57 trim" t04e with a stg 3 .63 ar hotside. i like it better.

boost start at like 2750rpm, full boost by like 4k

 

i know Jordan(mahcivic) was running a t3/t4 50 trim on his ef hatch... and it was very impressive.

 

The whole setup will be
cough*ssautoshit* cough manifold for the timebeing
Saab Viggen FMIC
2.5 chargepiping
turbonetics delta"death"gate ext WG 10psi spring
2.5" dp and 2.5 exhaust
knockoff greddy type s bov
310 injectors
BBK track bin scaled down for the injectors,3.5vtec,7.5k rev,no o2.
running on a
z6 shortblock(blockguard...dont ask I got the engine like that )
y5 head
z6 IM
z6 trans
Everything is already bought and like Tom Petty said, "The waiting is the hardest part" All going into my 4dr EG.

 

i had a 50 trim .48.60 50 stage3 wheel.
it run like ---- on the street, hual *** on the freeway. specially after 3rd gear

 

I rode in my buddy's z6 with the same size turbo and it lags but boost hits super deluxe at 5k........I'd switch to a 48 housing, that would make it a perfect turbo imo.

 

yeah, i just ordered a t3/t4 50trim 48A/R, i'm curious as to how boost is gonna hit with this turbo on my mini-me, vs. my old t3 60 trim.

 

it'll hit harder and stronger up top

 

nice to hear... thats what i want.

 

im going to run a .48/60 t3 on my Z6. i have that or some smaller t3 i JUST got today for free,,,but anyways.. So are u saying that this 48/60 should kinda be over kill maybe ?Spool at like 5k god damn... highway races would be a killing !
