Only problem is that there small which = no fun!

Re: tdo4
 

I dont get what the deal with this "small" stuff is. Most guys on here dont have displacement over 2.0litre. Putting a large turbo on will be soo laggy.

Re: tdo4
 

That's why a so called "Hybrid turbo" is desired. Smaller Exhuast with the ideal Compressor.

Too small of a turbo ends up creating alot of excess heat which in turn hurt your engine. Plus people may think it's nice to have zero lag, but in turn it's sort of a traction control, plus with zero lag you fuel economy goes WAY down and your engine see boost alot more, intur placing it uder stress.

Stepping up to a slight larger turbo like a t3 .42/.48 or even a 14b would give you hardly and more lag, and would be running alot more efficiently.

Re: tdo4
 

not trying to thread jack...but I have a d16y8 and a t3 .42/.48 turbo...

What's a rpm I can expect it to reach boost at and does it run efficiently to 7000rpm?

Re: tdo4
 

well i have a underdog i built an it a jdm d15b w/a z6 vtec head and im looking to build my first turbo car for daily drivin..................

Re: tdo4
 

Go for a .42./48. It's a good size turbo, and if you ever want to step up, or replace your manifold will have the right flang seeing as 75% of the turbos out there are t3. And if you want a better or bigger housing combo, you can slap just about any other one on.

I know this is HMT and thing are supposed to be cheap, but spend $20 more and get something that is going to make life easier down the road!

thanks for the help....got to go to work..catcha on the flip side

Re: tdo4
 

i have used a .42/.48 t3 and a 54 trim t3/t04e on my y8 at 11lbs. the t3 sucked and was used only for a very short time. I felt very quickly but the kick was nothing campared to my hybrid and it seemed to die off on top end

Re: tdo4
 

yeah,
Of course a t3 is so much easier to install because of it'S standard flanges and modification possibilities.

However the t3 .48/.42 50 trim will die off at high RPM as soon as your engine makes over 200 HP. You'll see people making over 200 HP. as much as 250 HP with it, but with poor efficiency.

If you put a resonably larger compressor on this same 0.48 stage1 turbine, let's say a t3 60 trim 0.60 a/r or even a small T04, you can push it to around 250HP or so. Over that, lack of efficiency again, because of the turbine this time. 0.63 a/r is then the next step.
