E6K
4x850s
front mount apexi cooler
rx7.com pump
FP regulator

Was running a TS04 Turbonetics(they suck)


Any help would be greatly appriciated

Thanks Diego

What kind of power are you looking to make? There are a couple of great spooling turbos out there that can still hit the mid 400rwhp range. Or are you looking to get into the 500whp range?

for the 450rwhp + area i would personally run 2x 1600's along with 2x 850's at least thats what i have and a/f's are very safe( also running 2 walbros) 440rwhp @ 16psi........i have a t-78 and love it..i do drive on the street almost all of the time

but im sure you'll get varied responces

I like my P trim 67, good for 450@18, 480@20, and 500+above that. I use 1680/720, and it's good to 500+rwhp.

I was about to suggest the same turbo that Carl is running for the power level you want. From Carl's dyno charts that turbo is a BEAST and it's at a great price.

FYI the GT40 from Turbo Calculater is for a Scandia truck.Thats why its sooooo heavy and you then need to cut the casting and the weld a flange or have one made like I did.
Then the bolt pattern didnt fit a standerd manifold.
I sold this and never used it. TC should show you what you are getting 1st.
I have the TO4R instead.

Not to jack the thread but I'm looking to be making 300-350 at the rear wheels and was debating between a t04E and a KKK27 turbo any thoughts?

I'm using a PT67 .81 P trim. I did not dyno at lower than ~18psi, but about 400 at 15, it really wants ~20ish psi. They are ~1000.00 new, ~800 used. Carl
