Perhaps you should look at a power level that you will actually be able to USE on street tires.

A GT35r will get you decently quick spool and up in the 450's pretty easily. (more?)

The turbo I have on order is the GT3574r (ball-bearing) Hopefully it spools like I hope and gets me into the 400's reliably with ai.

You can use that much power on street tires, but you need to have the skill. If its a stock Lotus TT you should only need about 350-400whp to be quicker.

you need to read up more.. 550-600whp is nearly impossible without porting... most turbos that will get you in that range require porting...... 450 with the 35r sean (aspec tuning) sells would be suffiecient

Not in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear. Only with traction control or part throttle... which means you are not really using 600 horsepower.

R compounds would be a necessity.

Delslow, that pic got me laughing for real.. lol

maybe YOU need to read up more or maybe stop reading and actually go try something before you post incorrect info. stock ports is not going to hold anyone back from making 550-600hp this has been proven time and time again.

Im jw why you need 550 hp to beat a lotus?

Sounds like you want to beat every lotus you come across...... not really but you get the picture

Any turbo big enough to get you 600 hp without a ported engine is going to be pretty laggy. Also I should mention that any single turbo conversion is going to cost you a LOT of money on a completely stock car. Turbo kit, intercooler, piping, full exhaust, fuel pump, fuel rails/injectors, standalone computer, ignition upgrade, clutch, and not to mention everything that starts breaking after 450-500 HP. You will also need to run AUX injection or race fuel after around 400 hp (anything over 15 psi) for reliability. Expect to spend over 10K, and way more if someone else is doing the work.

No body still answer his question. what is the best turbo?

ScorpionT

iTrader: (3)

There is no "best turbo". Does he want 550-600 crank hp or whp? Does he he want stock ports or bridge ports? Does he want to max the turbo out there or have room to move? Does he have a budget? There are too many variables that need to be answered first.

Get a gt40r or maybe something a little bigger. Only get dual ball bearing for the power level you're looking for unless you have a thing for lots of lag. Or get a custom twin turbo setup like howard coleman, that would be ideal.

Definitely not true.


I'm making 600HP or very close (139MPH@2850lbs) on a stock block, no porting. TurboR1 is also on a stock block and making over 500HP. He runs a 10.6 sec quarter mile.


Dude, you are giving bad advice. You don't need a dual ball bearing. When you say Howard's setup is ideal, what are you basing that off of, I'm not sure if he has any track numbers, does he?

im saying for a street car. a race car is fine to have lag. I went from a t61 to a masterpower t70 and i wish i had stuck with something smaller because of the lag and mine is street ported. I can't imagine trying to spool this turbo with stock ports. don't tell me i'm giving bad advice. it's how i feel and how i feel can't be wrong because its an opinion. which is why questions like these are so stupid to begin with everyone has a different answer. In your post all you mentioned was your times but thats not the same as street racing.

I said howards setup is ideal because it makes tons of power and spools up quick. when someone asks what turbo is best well there are many right answers and thats mine. But you go ahead and preach on about your stock ports and huge journal bearing turbo for 600 hp and then he can come back on here and cry to you about not spooling until 5500 and the lotus beat him from light to light. Duece

Busted7

So if i have an opinion its right becouse i feel it is?
Then in my opinion a gt4788 will spool quicker than lets say Howards car becouse thats my opinion!

Im sorry but i have to own up to having the wrong opinion sometimes no matter how i feel.
I think the goverment ought to give me a billion dollar check to bail my *** out!

I do think however theres better ways to give opinions.

lost to a lotus? maybe you should learn how to drive first lol

those things only have acceleration. if its the supercharged edition he will have the lead for around 1/16th of a mile, the rest should be yours

get an exhaust,intercooler a good clutch kit and some good mapping and you are good to go
