ok ive been thinking on changing my stock turbo in my s5 TII, i just want to know if i should be fine with a t04s because i have stock ports. i have all the other bolt -ons but my engine is internal stock, no street port etc.

thanks

how large of an exhaust side?

There are about 200 million variations on the TO4, so a few more specs would be helpful.

ok the specs are: t5 compressor wheel, stage 5 wheel. and the compressor housing is .60. it doesn't say the exhaust housing but i think is pretty big. heres a pic of the exhaust side.

1.15 hot side...
thats the SS auto chrome turbo??

it'll work - you're goign to need to modify the exhaust housing to either weld on a v-band falanged pipe or get some type of adapter flange made...

als make sure you have a manifold with a T4 flange, even though that ad says its an RX-7 turbo you quite obviously need a manifold with a T4 flange to mount that slug....

looks like the ssauto turbo...... read up on them before purchasing.... i wont say anything because i have never personally used them, but there is a big debate as to whether these are junk or not....... try master power, they are economically priced, and are very well made .... mines a t70 ..... very good quality

oh, and the 1.15 hotside is way to big for stock ports..... thats bridgeport territory

**** I should run one of these and put an end to this whole debate.......

Yeah 1.15 is waay to big for stock ports, try .86.

SS autochrome makes everything nice...but the turbo...bye bye

thanks, i think ill try something more little than 1.15. and by the way my brother has a ssautochrome 60-1 and it havent done any problem at all. so i think is pretty well made, and my brother has a very heavy foot on the throttle if you now what i mean. but its not on a 7 its on a dsm first gen talon. very fast car.

thanks

talons are home depot racers...no joke. Almost every one I've seen so far has a crapload of home depot mods..

i have a 1.15 a/r turbine housing with stock exhaust ports and my motor does ok. it could stand to be mroe responsive though..

A "T04S" is something that was an exclusive HKS thing back in the day.
Garrett has a "T04S04" model, which is sometimes shortened to "TS04".
Nowadays, a lot of people confuse "T04S" and "TS04", but I assume we're talking about the same thing.

If that doesn't confuse you, those SSAutoChrome ***** seem to like to MAKE THEIR OWN SPECS using well-known turbo model numbers.
So while they call theirs a "T04S", if you measure the specs, it doesn't necessarily match anything else out there - HKS T04S or a Garrett TS04.
Be aware of that.

Now, with all of that said, you realize you're talking about a full turbo upgrade, right?
You'll need an upgrade fuel system to support the increased air flow from the bigger turbo.
You'll need an intercooler to cool the intake charge.
You'll need custom piping and hoses to get the turbo to work safely.
...and a stand-alone EMS is highly recommended.
We're talking thousands extra right there.
Are you willing to spend that kinda money?

i have one on my 91 talon and it has yet to do me wrong even boosting 18-20psi
until it goes bad i will continue to say for the money its damn nice
but i do realize i would not try to push it higher than 20psi but thats just me
and Nick quit hating on the dsm fool its a quick cheap car and i should know lol
you will never get over the hate of them will you
i think its cause deep down you know that they are one car that can give us a run for our money with the price of car and mods and still remain more reliable but cant handle as good and dont look nowhere as nice

rx7legend

soory man but youre wrong, my brothers talon have no home depot ****. everything in there is greddy, hks, aermotive,blitz etc. before he put the ssautochrome turbo he had a greddy turbo kit installed on the car so i don't think thats crap, and like it or not his dsm will play with my TII or fd all day long. don't underestimate them because their dsm, they're damn fast cars and can do up to 500whp with stock internals.

rx7legend

yes i know is a full turbo upgrade, i really dont think i need a huge fuel system since im only going to be boosting 12psi maybe 14 max maybe, i already have bigger injectors, fuel pump etc. fmic already there. i don't have a ems but i do have a piggy back safc2, i think it will work fine on 12 psi. this are just my .02 cents let me know what you think.
