T3/T04e 57 Trim on stock D16z6?
 

would this be a decent choice of a turbo for a stock z6, until i can get a built block? the one i have is a Turbonetics .57/.63, stage 3 wheel.

i figure it would be enough for right now to hit ~200whp on 6-7psi maybe shoot for 8psi depending on the tune...and run it like that until i can get a built shortblock and tune it to 300whp

i'm figuring it wont hit full boost till 5-5.5k or so. i will however have a ZEX 59300 cam the whole time.

i plan to use a cc-fab "chuck norris" manifold, since it has a good collector to help spool. also, 3" downpipe and exhaust.

or would it be better to trade out this turbo for a 50 trim? i'm mainly looking for suggestions and looking at the long run.

that would be way to big for your goals. a 50 trim would be perfect!

i got t3 42/48 trim perfect for your stock z6 that's what i was running until i upgrade my piston and rods..willing to do even trade no shaft or leaks or a buner play internal wastegate. i'm lookin for 57/60 trim..let me know..

Re: T3/T04e 57 Trim on stock D16z6?
 

i didnt ask for trades.

i think it will be fine. i wont be running it on the stock motor for long anyway

Re: T3/T04e 57 Trim on stock D16z6?
 

i dont think u will spool it till like 6. u figure it is a single cam 1.6. ls will spool it at 4000 1.8 dual cam, twice the intake/exhaust air.\

Try it tho,

my roommate runs that turbo on his Z6 in his CRX....super lag monster.

on the dyno it managed to spool 12psi by redline.

so fook my t3 42/48 trim is pERCect for his z6 huh?? haha.. spools very quick like at 4,000 then after that VTEC all the way!!!!! ;D

Re: T3/T04e 57 Trim on stock D16z6?
 

4k??? damn i wish mine did that, i hit full boost at 2800

Re: T3/T04e 57 Trim on stock D16z6?
 

i had a .42/.48 on my car and it was lame. Now im rnning a 50 trim t3/t04e and its sweet. it takes a bit to build boost, but oh well.

lol and do not trade that .42/.48 straight up

Re: T3/T04e 57 Trim on stock D16z6?
 

yeah i wouldnt even waste my time on those...they are for people who like sub200whp

Re: T3/T04e 57 Trim on stock D16z6?
 

to me...t3 .48/.60 = perfectly sized turbo for a stock d16z6. spools nicely and makes good power to the limits of the internals.

IF you decide you want to sell that 57 trim let me know will ya? ;)

i have a 57 trim .60/.63 stg 3 wheel on my z6...drag mani, 3" dp...my wastegate has a red spring 7.2 psi...i was just looking at my logs after driving to work this morning and i get just over 6psi at like 3800....then it takes it all the way to about 5200 before i get enough psi to pop teh wastegate. from 3200 to 3800 it goes from 0-6.3 psi....then from 3800-5200 i go from 6.3 to anbout 7.4 or so....its kinda weird but my car really isnt that laggy...just get a z6 or y8 tranny and it wont feel too bad.

Re: T3/T04e 57 Trim on stock D16z6?
 

$350 shipped....exactly what i just paid for it, only 2k miles on it.

i think im gonna just find a 50trim and be done with it.

Re: T3/T04e 57 Trim on stock D16z6?
 

---- everyone else :P, put it on and see how it works. It should work decent if u do a lot of high speed driving.

Re: T3/T04e 57 Trim on stock D16z6?
 

LOL

it will be on my daily driver, but i think im just gonna sell it.
