hello i wanted to know if anyone here has had any expreince with the t88-38gk interms lag,setup and overall installtion of the turbo? incase you were wondering the plans are to build a streetable (not neccesary steet leagal) car for serious drift comptetion and road racing.looking to get 480-560whp with 15-20psi of boost on a half bridge.plz no sarcastic remarks.there aree other choice's that i am looking at such as the r85 turbo,kfg t51rbb turbo or possibly a holset hx51 with a bullseye housing. thank you.

Are we talking 20B here?
Cause no 13B is going to spool that monster at a "decent" RPM...

no its not going to be a 20b... and what are you basing that off of? do you have expreince with the t88? i have heard mixed ansewrs some say it depends onr tuning otheres say the port keep in mind im going half bridge and in road racing your boiling in the rpms anyway so lag wouldnt be that noticeable my main concern would be the street and drifting... not onl that your treshold for lag may be diffrent from mind... but thanks for the input.

dude T88 is Way too big for your target power range. I don't think you'll get past the surge limit unless you've got a p-port - 9500+ rpm setup. Go take a look at some compressor maps, compare the T88 you want to use with say a Td06 -20G..

deeznuts1200

umm no... 20g's are not capable of 560 on a rotary are they? if so they are probaly maxed out..the whole idea is to using a bigger turbo ,use less boost to buildup the same power with less heat i.e higher effiency.. and its damn near impossible to get ahold of a mitsubishi turbo map... plz people speak only if you've hd first hand eperince with the turbo or know someone that has.. thank you.

deeznuts, just get yourself a greddy t78 and you'll have plenty of power for drifting. The T88-38gk is a huge turbo and mainly used for drag racing. I own a t88-34d and i'm happy with it as a everyday car. The Lag isn't what people think it is and with the t78 the lag will even be less..

no but it's the turbo that most D1 drivers use to make 450-480 if using mitsu with a rotary. Why on earth do you feel the need to have 560+hp for drifting?? waste of hp on the course.. amaturish even.

I've seen a few T88's on rotary's all P-ported DRAG CARS..

Nobody runs that thing in here cause they are 1) typically running a 13B, and 2) not stupid enough to try something that doesn't work.

There is one (maybe 2) guy(s) that run the smaller T88 33D(?) on a *20B*, but you're not running a 20B are you?

The 38GK is capable of producing over 1200hp+ on a piston engine.
Scaled for the rotary, we're talking power levels in the 900hp RANGE!
If we extrapolate that back to other turbos capable of those kinds of power levels, THEY ALL DON'T SPOOL VERY WELL ON A 13B.
I don't call a turbo not being able to spool under 6kRPM very streetable...or usable.
If you find that having boost only over 6kRPM is satisfactory, then go for it.
That's deductive resasoning - not some wild-*** guess.

So good luck finding someone stupid enough to run a 38GK on a 13B...

I used to have a T88H and it SUCKED! Biggest POS I'd ever had. Major lag with SH#%t for power. Pick something else! Do yourself a favor.

When I bought my car it had the T88H on it, so I tried it. What a POS! Now I have a GT42R. Now thats a bad *** turbo. 643 to the wheels!

deeznuts1200

jxy nyc thank you for your input our the only guy on here with an real helpful info youve made my decesion.. and i dont find the need to hae 560hp for drifting its just the more hp the better and why not? apexi rx makes 493 to the wheels top secrets s15 makes 539hp to the wheels drft supra makes 650whp.. its not amerish at all... i just wanted to know if any had expreince with this particulr turbo if you read my first statement you wouldve noticed that i also said im intrested in try the r85 turbo as well since ive seen so many people make good results with it. and t78 is not in the power range im looking for and for our infor the most common used turbo used in driting is the disco potato aka t28 ball bearing.. on rotaries you get a wide range from 25g-t67's to the 3k k27 inspired blitz turbo which is a big *** turbo... once again guys thanks for you input someone plz close this topic thanks.

So the only helpful person is the person telling you what you want to hear?

Also, could you check and make sure oyur frontal lobe is intact. It's kind of hard to read your posts.

deeznuts1200

actully yes he is and my front lobe is just fine how about yours? ernie t helped as well you see all you guys are so quick to jump on the gun read my first ****** post... i was not just going to pick the t88-gk right off the bat i wanted to know who has had expreicne with it as well as other t88 turbos such as the t88034d to mak a comparison... you do you also notice in the head line it says T88 OWNERS PLZ RESPOND.... i wasnt looking for every ********* opinion on the board but thats cool its free speech... and those who were downing all t88's not just the one iwas asking about HAD NO EXPRIENCE AT ALL WITH THE TURBO or didnt know anyone with it.So when i came back and said were are you basing your info from or were you getting it... the simply replied with are you STUPID you gotta be runnng a pp port and yada yada yada yada.. AND giving my hp figure of what the turbo can do... i know it can support 1000hp on piston engine so can the gt42r,the r85,t51-bb but these are all tried and tru turbo's.. anyway have a nice one.

I'm surprised you made it this far in life with that kinda attitude.
Good luck with the rest of your life...seriously...you'll need it.

what attitude? man shut up... your one who doesnt read anything before you post a response...

Just because you didn't like it doesn't make it a POS !!!!

You made a claimed 405 rwh @ 12psi followed by 409rwh @ 14psi on stock port engine......then sold it with ~300 miles on it !!!!!!!! and now it's a POS ???

Greddy turbos (T78's & T88's) been around for quite awhile and even today they're considered to be on top as far as quality and reliability !!!
Their wheel design might be a bit ancient but they still menage to get the job done. Their "H" have a few improvements...

As far as piston power....
T-78 will make over 700rwh
T88-34D(~70mm ind.) will make over 800rwh
T88H-34D(~70mm ind. w/ bigger turbine side) will make over 900rwh
T88H-38GK (~76mm ind w/ big turbine side) will make over 1000rwh.
-Titan Supra actually uses this turbo and makes over 1200rwh :-)
-Ari's car ran a greddy T88 for the longest....safe to assume he made over 600rwh :-)
Papadakis car ran a T88 as well.....and the turbo seem to be the one item that lastest the longest ...
In Japan you see the baddest tuners using these turbos from Toyotas to Mazda to Nissans....
should I go on.....

Wish you good luck with the GT-42R but don't make everything else a POS!!!

Now to answer the original question....
For drifting.....the T88-38gk is way too big for a 2 rotor...same for a GT42R !!!
For 400-500rwh a Greddy T78 is a better choice and there's quite a few other turbos that fall in the range.
Your hp/tq curve will be more important then the overall peak power.

Good Luck

Why don't you read your own posts and make corrections to your own life. Good luck.
