Garrett GT42/45 overkill for street ported FD?

I'd like to try a new turbocharger out.

I've been looking at the Garrett GT35/40 and GT42.
It doesn't look like it would lag a whole lot.
The GT42 has a significantly larger compressor and turbine wheel.

4sfed on these forums has one for a 20b, that turbo would be way too large for a 13b,

Yeah, thanks 10sec Rx7...

myself and a mate are building a 20B gen 3 and have just got a Gt42/45 for it. Let me tell you it is an absolute monster. If your not running a 20B forget about it as you will never see half of its potential on a 13B.

You would need a BIG shot of NOS to get the thing on boost... IMHO way too big.

Go for a GT35/40... thats what myself and a few mates are running on 13BT's and they are awesome.

are we measuring dicks here?

we have custom exhaust housing put on ours to accept the big footprint from the TV-51. I'd like to compare yours.

Thats her!

Thats the same ugly compressor housing we got, we just put it in a smaller housing on the exhaust.

It's a little small for a 20B IMHO, just perfect for a 13B.

but some say I'm not well.

Hi FSFED,

Wondering where you got your GT35/40? And do they sell a setup GT35/40 + exhaust manifold + hardware? Appreciate any info. Thanks.

IMHO, The GT42 is a far superior turbo than the GT35/40. e-mail me privately if you want any of these turbo's we have quite a few of them on the shelf.

Im thinking about a GT 42 with 1.22 exhaust housing for my FD streetport. Will it fit where the oem turbos are placed or do I have to get it up? I want to get the airpump in the car without removing the turbo on smog check.

Is the GT42 with 1.22 E.H. a good choice? I can get one for 500 $, and its not Rollerbearing.

How well does the GT42 perform on a road race track?

It sounds like a drag turbo to me.

800 to 1000hp depending on the A/R from what I have found it will flow 80-100 pound min
