OK guys


which one would you choose for a street/circuit 13Bt S6 and why? (for arguements sake they are priced the same)...

 

What kind of porting is done to the motor and what other supporting mods? Are you talking drag circuit or what type of circuit?

 

gt40r.

T51Rs are too big for 13B for circuit racing and/or street, albeit it has higher potential than gt40r. Put it this way.. T51Rs are like T70-T76(or GT42Rs), a step larger than GT40R.

 

If you're going to go circuit racing, a T51R is way too big and laggy. I am sure you can get away with using a smaller turbo, even smaller than a GT40, to compete well. But, since this is a track car, and you want to keep power at or near the top end, go with the GT40.

 

these "VS." turbo threads are really stupid... your best bet is to "search" and look at compressor maps to compare the 2.

 

The t51r is too big just go with the gt40r.

 

Has anyone who posted driven or been in a t51r? Its a blast on the street.

 

Pete (rice racing) has posted some videos of a series 6 with a T51 road racing, the car did not seem hampered by lag, and could catch anything it could see This was a 3-4 minute in car video. Unless you driven that particular turbo on a properly ported car, you have not much to say IMHO. (unless of course you watched the video I did )

 

of course if 150mph+ scares you, you should stay away from it

 

HKS T51R Kai is a GT42.

well I guess the gt40r wins.... thanks for your input guys...

 

Not quite but pretty close.

 

GT42 compressor.
HKS runs some funky turbine on the hot side.
Is that more accurate?

where is this video of the car?

 

agreed Steve.

 

Thats what I'm thinking.. Lag? Ha!

 

I have to videos in question if someone will host them for me I'll email them to you. Let me know.
