Dseries Turbos for drag
I got a question for anyone running a big turbo on a dseries.. im making a built zc for street drag racing. I know it wont get any traction on drag radials but I don't care. Anyway my question is I see all these drag crx's with 60-1 T4's. Are these turbo's streetable? As in do you have to set your rev limit at 4 grand to keep the car from dieing. Or do they work like any smaller size turbo on a crx (t25, dsm, etc), but just with more lag. I want this car to be a badass street racer but I dont want to have to trailer it to the strip. Im gonna use a small shot of nitrous to spool it too. Thanks for any help.

Re:Dseries Turbos for drag
If you are "street dragging", meaning stoplight to stop light, and so on.. You're going to want a turbo that spools quickly and gets the power out.
If you're looking for top end, I guess you'll want a bigger turbo to put it's push out higher up..
You won't get traction with drag radials? What's with that?

Re:Dseries Turbos for drag
no i mean i am building a car that will go to the track and whip corvettes but still be streetable. what i mean by no tractionm is 350 hp to drag radials, normally ppl with that much hp have wrinkle walls and no rear suspension. I dont mean i want to just do stop light racing. I mean real street racing on straight away closed roads, interstates etc. This is going to be fully built, ie.. sleeved , rods, pistons, valves, ported, etc. The outside is going to look as stock as possible minus 17s and dropped w/coilovers. I am thinking of going with a t3/t04e instead of a t4. I was just asking if anyone has expierence with spoolup times of large turbos on 1.6l's.
good choice. I was gonna do that but decided I weoudl swap for the better platform ZC long bnlock for the 500 or whathave you. a lot easyerly achieved....

OK, am I delusional or something? ..or does 350hp on a 13+ year old engine that stock only puts out ~130hp out at the fly wheel sound a bit on the ridiculous side?
You want power like that, you should drop a 1.8 in, and go from there.

his goal is 400, why cant i have 350,
jeff do you have any idea on the specs of your 60-1 t4? I am gonna have a custom turbo built, and need to know a good ar range.
i think im gonna get a t3/t4e. and lets clear some stuff up:
i'm using a regular dohc jdm zc not a crappy sohc zc.
dude are you on crack? im not talking about adding an intake and rice exhaust here, this will be sleeved, fully built, custom manifolds, nitrous, and running 15-20 psi. ill get 350 easy.

You're planning 350hp from a single cam

Re:Dseries Turbos for drag
That's very possible. Those large turbo's lay down some smack, esp in the 16+ PSI Range! 350 isn't so hard, it's just maintaining it. What type of clutch are you going to use? Did you think about how easy it will be to blow your tranny/Half-Shafts?
