Re: turbo

It depends on the goals you have for your car.

16g<big 16g<evoIII 16g

If you are looking for 400+ whp, you're going to need an evo III (and yes, I believe it was 430 hp they squeezed out of the evo III just a couple weeks ago!).

Re: turbo

I cant possibly see a reason for NOT getting the EVO316g over the other 2, unless you get a deal on a used one. They are only ~550 new.

If you are looking for 400+ whp, you're going to need an evo III (and yes, I believe it was 430 hp they squeezed out of the evo III just a couple weeks ago!).

Who made 430whp on the evo316g??? I know SBR just recently hit a little over 400whp, but that was on a highly built motor, race gas, and some REALLY good tuning, if I remember correctly.

It won't be very easy at all to pull 400whp+ out of the evo3b16g. It IS possible, but it would take someone like the people up at SBR to do it

However, if your goals are only mid-high 12 second 1/4 mile, or 300-350whp, then the evo3b16g is the PERFECT turbo for you. I've read nothing but good reviews about this turbo, and everyone I know that has it is VERY happy with it. I'm going for a slightly bigger turbo, just because I know I'll want to go faster once I hit around 350whp . And to answer your question about spooling, I believe the evo3b16g gets full spool just a hair over 3k rpms.

Bottom line- Evo3 16g = great turbo.

Re: turbo

Regardless, it's a wonderful turbo... just not a 430whp one

Re: turbo

Stroker doesn't count anyway. The EVO 16g is the biggest 16g and is cheap. It's the one to get. It's running 12's all over the place, and I believe has or is soon to run 11's. The difference in spool time is not an issue.

Re: turbo

Indeed it has already run 11s, on more than one car. Two local guys have done it, so I'm sure there are several others. All of the built motor stuff doesnt add power. Actually nothing on that list adds power on a 16g, aside from tuning (and that was on a stock ecu no less). It just lets you move that air at lower boost. I think they could squeeze a little more power out of it, but its pretty much maxed out at that point. I cant even remember what this thread was about, so I'll stop rambling now I guess...
