What size of turbo should I choose? (for p10)

[jayntguru]

Agreed. Any turbo car that isn't stock requires a few brain cells. (Witness Jay's old car's demise.)

1. My goal is around 225 to 250 whp.
2. stock w/370 injectors, JWT fuel rail
3. money, really no object, half of the stuff I'm getting free, the rest is at wholesale/dealer cost.

Lucky SOB!!! I wish I got free parts and whole sale prices too....

I know Hass's old car pretty good.

He was running that boost with water injection. And even at that boost he laid down 409whp w/ a 76 trim .82 A/R


Running more than 18psi is just plain dumb without race gas or water injection or lowered compression and bottom end work.

And don't forget, that was gulping C16 with a T04E IIRC. Boost psi with one turbo is not the same as boost psi with another. The psi might be the same, but discharge temps is a whole other matter.

It's not only a question of your turbo type. The specs on the turbo are equally important, which all depends on your final goal.

Smart boy.

Looks like Boogie is fast becoming the G20 Forum's turbo guru. Yes, there are others who drop in and out who may know more (Jay and Louis come to mind), but Boogie is here daily and looks like he's resident guru.

BTW, don't look at me. I'm just a turbo monkey. I do what I'm told.

I've still got a lot to learn. I concider myself borderline monkey at this point, but Mike K is teaching me a lot everyday.

I have over 16 pages of handwritten notes just from info found on SE-R.net's archives, Mike's SCC papers, Mike's emails, and from a few credible sources on the SR20DE forum who have setups that have been known to work...

Yeah... all the posts I was making was in regards to a T3/T04E.

I was beginning to think that me and Jay werent on the same page. The reason people are getting good results using the larger compressor is because of the hybrid setup. The smaller T3 housing allows for quicker spool up times (like I mentioned), so you can get away with the larger T04E to get some good power quickly.

b-b00gie,

looks like you are set for a turbo? when is it going to happen? what did you decide to do? a new SR20DET or SR20DE with turbo goodies?

[b-b00gie]

Turbo'ing my SR20DE. It should be complete in 9 months? Who knows... I have a lot of stuff to buy and work to do. I'm piecing things togther slowly.

[v_knot]

Great! What are you aiming for? 300whp? 400whp? 500whp?
Are you going to post every little details on your website? I got it linked already

[b-b00gie]

Well.. UXB will be going away soon... I gotta save money so I cant be paying for G20.net and unXplodedbomb.com


As soon as the domain transfer goes through I will have something like brian.g20.net or uxb.g20.net and maybe have unxplodedbomb.com just forward to that. Jason will also have his own personal space... jason.g20.net or so..


400whp is the goal. Mike K. thinks I will be in the 400whp-440whp with the setup I'm doing. It'll all be documented soon.


I just want an M5 whoopin car!

No kidding. That's some serious power there boy. And I though my goals of close to 300whp would be too much.

LOL... yeah planting the seed!

[radicalG20]

Well, guys thanks for the input. I think I will go with the T3/T04E setup and I will also get the Cobra MAF w/50 lb. injectors. I will get the turbo on as soon as the car gets back from the tranny shop. (it's going in the last week of February for a tranny swap) I'm pretty sure that by going from a n/a with auto tranny to a turbo with manual tranny, there will be a pretty big difference... I still don't know if it will be enough to beat my dad's '97 Cobra......we'll just have to see
