Lets talk turbos
So Ill be comin out this season with a decent upgrade on some things.. as you can see by my other thread my steering etc, is what im currently just starting to work on...
I have some final things that need finished on my engine side of things first.. I cannot decide on a turbo for my setup..
Rtek 1.7 ECU
Stock 550's Primary
RC 750's on the secondary
255 Walb.
Parallel Fuel setup exact one recommended on FC3s PRO
Greddy Cast Manifold (T4 Flange) Ready for external Waste Gate...
KEPT the OMP (rebuilt the lines)
Emissions Omitted..
So what would be your recommendations for my setup for a turbo specifically for drifting! Its main purpose is drifting.... I dont need it for a daily, but would like to take it out once in a while just to enjoy keep that SLIGHTLY in mind too...

I'm guessing you want throttle response with power to spin some wide tires when you want them to spin yet dont want to be bored as **** stoplight to stoplight if you want to take the thing out for a date (in any case, i'd opt for road head and forget completely about boost).
Been reading that t04s 60-1 1.00a/r hotside is highly streetable and has a very good powerband. If i were to choose a turbo for my car, that's what i'd pick.
http://www.turbocharged.com/catalog/compmaps/fig9.html Can pick them up used for around $500 and new for $799 and up.

If you're going for mild power... I'd say a Borg Warner/Bullseye S362...
If you want a little more... BW/Bullsey S366...
Both are solid turbos, can take the heat generated, and the abuse...
Awesome turbo for the money... and for drifting.

+1 TO4E... or any 60+mm turbo.
i have a Turbonetics 72mm thats a bit oversized for stock ports but i was a deal i couldnt pass up. its gonna lag but really who drifts under 5,000 rpms any way???
also you only have 550's and 720's, and a Rtek... youre not gonna get much power outta that ecu. Get a haltech so you can get some 720's all around and tune it till you run outta fuel.
T04E is the way to go

do they make 1200cc's???????
no need for that high flowing of an injector to only make 300 hp. Yea they would be usefull for more power later on but you would need a rebuilt engine that could handle that.
720's all around or 720's and 1000's would be more than enough for a T04E or a 60 mm at 300 to 375 hp on a stock motor.
Injector Dynamics has the 720's and 1000's at about $100 each. These are the BEST injectors

Good topic and would like to see where it goes.
I just picked up a Holset HX40, 19cm, 8 blade with the 4 inch V-band hot side. (external gate) Its brand new and i practicaly got it for free. It will be interesting to see what it will do.

Hey all
I am looking to upgrade the turbo in my FD and I'm kind of lost for what a/r to get. I read that rotaries like larger a/r's so I was looking at a .81-.84...now i'm wondering if that will cause too much backpressure. I'm currently running an Apex-i RX-6B with I don't know what a/r that turbine is. Any advice helps. Thanks.

It does, I just don't have it handy right now. By the time I'll be getting to the maintenance, I'm planning on having a new charger by then. Pretty much what I'm going for is to see what others have done and the success they have had by it.
