Hi i am new to the turbo scene i am looking to turbo my ls and make around 220-250whp my engine is stock as of right now i am going to keep it stock. I decieded that i am going to peice it together and my first item is going is going to be the turbo. I would like to boost 7-10 psi. I guess what i am asking what is a all around turbo i cant go wrong with.

thx

 

Hes back from the dead to tell you....

 

Just for the sake of hilarity,

 

t3/t4 or if on a budget get a t3 , nothing smaller!!!
and for future reference , no you cant use a fmu you get your ecu chipped for boost plus injectors
cheers

 

T3, 60 trim .63/.60 ar's with a stage 3 wheel . Most t3/t4's are just too big and produce sad results for such a low power level. If you don't believe me take a close look at the maps for a standard "50 trim" t3/t4 @ 10psi vs. the cfm flow demands of your motor for the hp number you want to make. They run so far off the efficiency island it's not even funny.

 

Yeh fair enough , I just hope he doesn't end up buying a t25 or a 14b lol
So hvacrdan .. as slo_crx1 said go for the T3, 60 trim .63/.60 ar's with a stage 3 wheel
What are you planning for fuel management?

 

 

im shootin for the same as you, i have a t3 60/63. best for it? i dont know but it was cheap

 

The 63/60 t3 60trim will work. and it's a good one to have if engine buildup and/or vtec head are in the plans. it's easily upgraded into a 400 hp t3/t4.

but for a STOCK b18B and no more than 10 psi, i say the .48/.60 t3 60 is better. it spools up faster.
