T3/t04b for my FC

I have a cutsom t3/t04b V trim that i had originally bought for my eclipse GS-T... but plans changed.. when i bought my rexy..


i'll include the compressor map for the guru's... it's good up to 48lbs/min

I already have the turbo in my room.. but it's a Mistu exhaust flange..

so basically is it a good turbo for the rexy? would it be worth the custom flange for the downpipe and manifold?


they claim it reaches full boost aroudn 3-3,500 on a 4g63...
so i'm guessin it'll open faster on the 13bt...
and it's good for 400-450 WHP



any opinions plz

I think that a hot side that was intended to go on an eclipse probably won't flow enough exhaust to stick it on a RX. I really like the idea of a T3/to4e, but I wouldn't use anything smaller than a .82 A/R turbine if it's a T3.

so what ur saying is that the exhaust side of the turbo itself is gonna be a restriction and actually cause backpressure and slow spool?

the exhaust will need to be the largest wheel and housing avail w the T3 hotside. the motor's exhaust ports have approx 6.25 sq inches of area. the T3 turbine flange has approx 3.93 sq inches of area. if it is necked down much more... w anything less than the .82 and a stage 5 wheel you will get too much backpressure and too much egts.

the V1 wheel is also not my favorite wheel.

i would trade the turbo.

How about a T4/T04B with a .62 AR comp 1.15 AR hotside? I was bought one for my FC and am thinking about putting it on my FD. Sorry to jack your thread.
