Alright, I wanted to know what is the biggest turbo you would run on a SOHC? I got a 1.8 sohc mirage (aka watered down evo) and I have a t3 42/48. Im thinking about upgrading to maybe a larger t3 (60/63) or maybe one of those holsets. But my problem is would the 60/63 be to big? and will the holsets be too big? I found a couple holsets on ebay and at a local junkyard. Is it worth the time? How would the spool time be? Just looking for answers.

1.8L eh....id rock the big 60/63 t3 on it easy.

big holset might be a bit much for my tastes tho.

 

so by easy you mean that it is cool, or I should stay with my 42/48? I see that the holsets are a bit large..lol but thanks for the input.

 

im sure you'd be happier with the 60/63 over the 42/48

 

Yea, my 42/48 rips, but I soon want a built D and a super 60. Go big now. Don't mess with the little guys right now.

dosent that motor red line at 6000 (max hp 5200) i think it is the 4g93 if i remember correctally

concidering that i say you probally have the best turbo for your situation

 

not much more than what you said....its 6.5k

 

shitty i used to have a 2002 lancer and the fuel cut off in it was at 6200 so concider yourself lucky you get those extra 300 rpms

 

I say: keep your 0.48 a/r turbine for the quick spool up and upgrade the comrpessor to a T3 60 trim or T04B or E.

 

What about a 60/48 to help with lag? Am I right here or just suggesting something dumb....again.
