umm..that ---- is mad complecated

 

depends on what you want. quick spool? or top-end?

 

Telling us you have pistons, rods and a built head don't mean ---- to us. You need to tell us your HP goals and if you want a turbo that will spool quickly or one with a little lag. The higher the A/R the slower the turbo spool (make boost).

Some people use a T3 turbo with an A/R .42/.48 because they are common. This turbo spool quickly and depending on your setup, can yield 200 whp or more. Some people like myself use a T3 turbo with A/R .48/.60. This turbo has a good spool time (minimal lag) and can yield up to 300 whp.

Don't be a lazy ***, and do some research if you haven't done so yet. Again, it depends on what you want .

 

i waant to spool up quick and top-end....and my goal is 250-300

 

.48/.60 Sounds perfect for your application.

i dont know what you mean by having rods and pistons.300 is gonna be pretty tough with a sohc. your gonna need a big turbo, nos to spool it, big injectors, properly built motor, and a really good tune. most people on this site realisticly get 200 to maybe 250 with a good tune out of a sohc. if you want to get bigger power, you need to go dohc. then maybe youll hit 300 hp. and dont forget the other stuff that youll need to get to that goal like a good clutch, fuel pump, good flowing exhaust, good tires make a huge differance, intercooler, colder sparkplugs...etc etc etc

 

Sounds like you need a good mechanic because you are gonna blow your car up. What kind of manifold do you have right now?
