stock GSR pistons
 

I have a question about boosting my GSR, is the stock compression okay for boost only about 8-9 psi. I'm just not sure if I should get lower CR pistons to safely boost?

Millions of people have done it!!! Just do a compression test and boost that bitch!!! It's all in the tune....

Which turbo's are best for only about 250-275whp on a B18C1, I think a T3/T4 is a bit too big. Any smaller that still use the t3/t4 style flange for the DP?

Re: stock GSR pistons
 

People use anything from a small t3 to a holset.. Depending on the person..

Go .57 trim T3/T04E with .63 AR stage 3 turbine.

Re: stock GSR pistons
 

Thats the turbo im runningas of now... Just watch what turbo you buy. theres alot of fakes and poorly made turbos out there..

I want something that's internally wastegated.

Re: stock GSR pistons
 

You can get internal wastegate adapters for the Ford style housings used on the "aftermarket" Garretts from Fords.

I ran a .57 trim T3/To4E with .48 AR stage 2 turbine on a B18B1 and LOVED it. Spooled super quick and i never had a problem with it dying out up high. I really liked the midrange powerband and part throttle boost.

They come off Saabs and Volvo T3 turbos typically. The ones on SVO's have a cast elbow.

Re: stock GSR pistons
 

ill sell you that cast elbow, sitting on my fords floorboards as we speak. $30 shipped?

Re: stock GSR pistons
 

Before I start ordering things I wanna do a bit more reasearch and ask a couple more questions.

I've been looking at the TDO5H 16G from the EvoIII. My questions is where do I find manifolds with that flange on it to bolt to a b18, also the DP?

Anyone have any links I can check out?

Re: stock GSR pistons
 

any bseries manifold will fit with little to no modification. try bmc for an adapter flange.

Re: stock GSR pistons
 

Man if this is your first time turboing something you better look around on here at everyone else's builds. And do ALOT of reading...... look at some of the turbo projects

Re: stock GSR pistons
 

that wont fit a svo turbo

Re: stock GSR pistons
 

Yes it will. I used it on my T3 off a Ford SVO. You have to modify the actuator arm slightly, but the housing 100% bolts up. You must be used to ebay rebuilt turbos that come with the other style T3 flange.

Re: stock GSR pistons
 

I had an XR4ti turbo which IS an SVO turbo and it had that wastegate design. The Volvo one is slightly different.
