I'm looking to upgrade my 3rd gen set up from the factory twins and i don't know which turbo is best for me i only want 500whp realistically and i get all this info from website but the turbos i see can go above and beyond what i need so i'm asking for feedback on the Greddy T78

 

as always, what are your ultimate plans for the car.......street only,.......1/4 mile.........HPDE,........road race......etc.

The turbien is considered laggy by some people, but if you are strictly 1/4 mile then who cares? others will say the opposite (in comarison to a T-88) once again what are your plans for the car.?

The T78 will get you there with the supporting mods of course. I believe people (this includes me) are seeing 420+ on decent boost levels (mid teens or so). I assume you plan on porting as well. Yeah, some people might say that but it doesnt feel that way for me. kenn chan has a piont, what are you gonna use it for (mines my DD).

 

I used the T78 on both my RX-7's and really liked it, but these days there are better turbos out there that will spool quicker and make the same HP.

 

yea if you get it for a rediculously good price then use it. i love the greddy T78 as it's been super reliable and makes great power, but it's still old technology. most newer turbos of equivalent capability are cheaper and spool up faster.. but not by that much

 

Love my T78, great kit. It's a great turbo and unlike some of the "new technology" like ball bearing turbos it doesnt cost a fortune to rebuild.

 

Well all i want is 500rwhp and some reliability i want 590 crank Hp and thats it

 

Greddy T78 is sooooooo 90's

 

Ditto!

 

So what would you suggest for 500rwhp

 

If you read around its the gt4294R or GT4202R or TO4Z

off of my head,

theres theres a few others with great prices

S3xx series, S4xx series, TO4R GT42

 

The T04Z has been awesome for me! Plus it requires far less custom work to install than the 42R. I would say it's one of the best all around turbos out there right now. The 1.00a/r will hit like a ton of bricks.

 

Yea I have been selling a lot of the T04Z. Very capable turbo with the correct mods.

At what boost pressure? You can wring 500hp out of a 35R or you can get there pretty easily with a 4294R(Check out delslows car 530whp@18psi I believe). A TO4Z is a great turbo as Jason said, as is a few others. A lot depends on what your trying to do with the car. The smaller the turbo the higher boost you will need to reach your goal. There is a whole lot that can effect power, both in delivery and amount.
