Questions about doing a single turbo set up

I want to change my car over to a single set up. I want to make between 350-400 horse on pump gas. Can anyone tell me what would be the best setup to do.

You could easily do that with A-Spec's T3 GT35r kit. It'll spool very fast and still allow you some room to grow if you so choose later down the line.

What would you recommend for the fuel system like injector size and fuel pump? And also what would be the best ecu for it?

You can get a nice quick spooling 400/500hp kit plus a twin fuel pump setup for $3048 that setup will include.

Garrett turbo 400-500+whp,stainless manifold and DP(warranted as long as you own it.),Tial wastegate, all lines fittings and hardware, blockoff plates and intake.
(2) 1680cc injectors & clips,(2)aluminum injector spacers, Top Feed fuel rail,fuel rail fittings, Fuel Pressure Regulator,Fuel Pressure Regulator fittings. ACV Block off plate, Resistors, Fuel Pressure gauge, Twin high flow fuel pumps and fittings.

This will set you up to run 400 on low boost and 500 when your ready to turn it up. Response will be nice not laggy. The manifold is tapered runners equal length and pretty much bullet proof. I'll throw in the tial BOV for $199 with the purchase.

You are forgetting, intercooler, computer, ignition amp, boost controller. Also is his motor stock, I don't see him getting 400-500 on a stock motor, maybe 370-380

If the car is stock then you will be spending close to $7k for a single setup. There is no need for dual pumps on an average street car.

Give me a call and we can talk about your setup. I will save you a lot of money.

You would know this how?? I mean what are you basing this on?? Have you any idea about the turbo size? Wheel combo? Compressor flow/efficiency etc? By your assumption no FD could do over 370-380 on stock ports regardless of setup. I beg to differ

That's fine remove one of the pumps it only makes it cheaper. Whatever happened to you always telling people to buy more than they need because you KNOW they will grow used to the setup. I remember when you used to preach T78 all day long using that logic. I guess that dont apply here. With what's offered there is tons of room to grow. It will allow him to have the power level he wants now with good response, and when ready he wont need to rebuy another turbo or extra fuel upgrades. It will get over 500 to the wheels. Without T78 lag All quality, all genuine parts. All made in the USA

First, I dont care what size turbo it is. I have dynoed enough cars to know what its going to do on stock ports.

Since when do I tell people they need to buy more? For some customers I still recommend the T-78 as its a proven turbo, unlike yours. Sorry but your fuel system isnt going to support 500+ RWHP without upgrading the primary injectors and the price you listed its probably a 4088 which doesnt spool any faster than a T-78.

T78 is ancient technology.....there are so many new turbos that utilize ball bearing center hounding now.

This says so much it's not even funny.

Again what turbo have I chosen? You don't know so to say it is unproven is wrong. And no on the 4088. I wont run GT40's or 40R's. I have more than enough time with them to know they offer minimal power levels over 35R's for too much lag. And the fuel system is more than what he needs remember Now quit bickering.

I've ran a t78 for almost 4 yrs now, there are 2 local fd's here in town one with a 35/40 and GT40r. Both of them are tuned by well know tuners, and I have never been beat by one of them and have never gotten a jump on me. So if the T78 is old techonogy shouldn't I be getting spanked by the new technology.

Again depends on the turbo to think otherwise is wrong. 30R,35R,40R,42R all will produce the same numbers because of stock ports?? According to this:

I dont care what size turbo it is. I have dynoed enough cars to know what its going to do on stock ports.
That is what we are led to believe. Simply not true sorry. Not arguing just stating a fact. Certain comp wheels are more efficient at moving air. less heat=more air.

I believe mine did and matched/beat many T78 numbers out there with both the T435R as well as the 500R which I ran.

No, thats not what I said. I said that I know what a car is going to produce on a dyno with stock ports and a given turbo. Sure 500HP is attainable on the stock ports, but not at a safe boost level.

claborn1 said he is looking for 350-400HP and you are recommending a large turbo and duel fuel pumps. You obviously havent been doing this very long with those recommendations. Never mind the fact he is going to need about $3k more in parts to go single. Now quit bickering.

And herein lies the problem, you still don't know the "given turbo" simple and sweet. I offered a turbo that will meet his power goals and offer comparable response to the ones mentioned before it. So not a large turbo. I offered a fuel system that is more than adequate for higher power levels when he gets bored and wants to turn it up some, port the motor or whatever. And as stated he can easily get just one pump. Either way it's a great setup. a 60-1 will be eh... on a well ported motor. Just as a 35R will run out of breath on larger ported motors. Those wheels will only move so much air efficiently. I'm just trying to suggest most of it being done right the first time. As opposed to changing half of it again a year or two down the road costing you even more again.
