i wa slookign at the poll for single or twin and what people run, i was thinking about switching to a single turbo but, im not sure how big to go, i was wondering how big of single turbos you have and how much boost do you run?

thanks -Clay

 

anyone?

 

It all depends on what mods you have done to your engine.

 

I'm a big fan of the T-60-1 and T-66. easily make 400+ to the wheels on about 10 pounds of boost. No turbo lag if tuned well and you don't mind bad gas mileage, if you don't mind a little lag you can get better mileage,and you only need 4 injectors, nothing more. It's all in the tuning but I think it's a great size of turbo for high power on the street. Completely streetable in my setups. I'm diggin' it.

 

What are your plans for the car? That will be the deciding factor in which size turbo you should run.
Personally I have the gt35/40.

 

A question like this is almost like asking a stranger what size pants you should wear without seeing you.
What you want to do with your car dictates the size and type of turbo.

 

Y2K....best turbo. Get that.

 

ok, well i want to switch to a single turbo and hopefully have 400 whp, the motor is completly stock besides a stainless steel raditor. should i use 2 or 3 mm apex seals also, what do you guys think?

 

Well for what you're looking for a GT35r kit would work quite nicely. Figure 8-10k for the conversion if you do the work yourself, and more if you don't.

 

Im building a custom twin kit, its only cost me about 1500 for all the parts and the turbo's

 

how much horse power do you plan on having?

 

where can i find this kit and who makes it?

 

 

hopefully in the 350 range, at close to stock boost levels.....only time well tell

I will post a huge writeup in the 3rd gen section as soon as i finsh it....few weeks..

 

You can get around 375whp with stock twins and a FMIC or SMIC and adequate fuel. This would be at 14-15 psi

 

I highly doubt either turbo's will make at least 400rwhp at only 10psi boost. A 60-1 @ 15psi on a ported 13brew should be able to hit 400rwhp no problem, but not at 10psi. A T66 should also need near 15psi to get to 400rwhp, but should be able to get 500rwhp at 25psi.

 

i feel stupid now... fmic and smic?

 

Intercoolers noob..


You have a friend, a new one maybe, converse with it:

 

thanks

 

I also have the 35/40...Have you dynoed? I think i will dyno in about 2 weeks....

I say go big and keep it low boost...that way if you ever have HP envy you just crank it up

 

I have not dynoed unfortunately... seems anytime I get the car up and running and ready to tune or just after tuning something screwed up happens and the car goes down again. Hopefully early next year.
