really? I figured a t3 will be too small? wouldnt a t3 be pushed to its limits to run my set up?

One thing you never said was whether this is a daily driver or a street/strip weekend car or ur race car. Theres a local guy near me with a gt-30r on his DOHC ZC and it runs like ****. On the other hand if its ur daily driver, I'd go with a t3 adapter on ur hf manifold and get a small garrett t3

Given everything else with the setup you might want to just suck it up and get a decent log or mini-ram, and a T3/T04E. You've got the backbone for a real ***-hander, but, yeah, it takes a few more dollars.

my bad i did forget to mention the situation.....the car wont be a daily driver but it sure as hell cant be a track car ( it has to be able to be street driven) i have this car and a crx (with a z6, bolt on's) so i will have to put both cars to use. (maybe like 60/40 split....crx 60% of time/ hatch 40%)




yeah that was my plan, get a nice *** turbo mani set up (planned on having my 1st new turbo) and I still havent ruled out buying a mani too ( i might have too)........ its just right now im in a tough spot..... my girl and i are about to split so im gonna move to las vegas (so i can stay with the fam till i get back on my feet) so i need to get the car through the desert from san diego to las vegas (about 400 miles) ... at this point i just wanna make sure i can get the car to las vegas ( dont wanna leave that car in the middle of the desert).


thanks again for your help guys ( i have been trying to research and check e-gay for all the turbos that have been mentioned)

Check Tunertoys on the mani, he stocks some of the best at affordable prices.

yeah that was my next stop (time to hit up craig) i was just on lsd.motorsports looking at his turbos ( i cant afford that right now).....JD(and others): what do you think about this turbo? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/T3-T4...spagenameZWDVW



would somethin like that get the job done?

ill have to hit up craig (tuner toys) when i see him online.... the cheapest he has listed (which is for a b-series) is a $600+ ram mani (log mani might be best i can afford)

No. Even if you're in a tight budget, you're just going to be throwing your money away in the long run buying a Chinese turbo. It may last 50 miles, it might last 5,000, but in the end it's still a high probability of being a losing gamble.


Wait until you can afford a decent turbo. Might want to look into a Holset HY35, going to cost less than a new T3/T04E.

thanks for the help man ( i had a feeling it was a ching chong snail....I was mostly asking about the size of the turbo) but ill look into the holset turbos...thanks again
