turbo reccomendation for 13b-RE?
What turbo would you guys reccomend for a stock port 13B-RE? (maybe streetport)
The motor would be controlled with a halltech, and I really like the idea of the dual ball bearing turbo. Any downsides to this?
Whats a good sized turbo for this that gives the best of all worlds in terms of driveability?
Im looking to get 12 second passes out of the motor, and deffinately want the quick spool time of a dual ball bearing turbo.

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
60-1 with a p trim, .81 housing... quick spool time and very reliable,,, and you dont need to spend x-tra money for the ball bearing junk either..
also stay away from any of the gt series turbos, if something should happen(spit an apex seal through the turbo) they dont repair the turbos , because the cost is so high, instead they make you buy a new one!!
here click the link and read ... helps you give you some insight on selecting a turbocharger

i have a 13bre and ordered a blowzilla...which is comparable to a precision turbo pt61 and the 60-1. i would go non ball bearing for the simple fact that the spool time is not much slower, power potential is about the same, and the price is half as much....you could put any turbo on it that you could put on a 13brew...if you leave your exhaust ports stock you should get more low end torque then a 13brew but a little less power up top.

The difference between BB and bushing turbos is upfront cost and spool time, the bushing costing less initially and spooling a bit slower. The BB turbo should last longer and spool quicker with the same volumetric airflow. If you can afford the money up front get the BB as it will last a lot longer (provided you don't plan on throwing apex seals into it).
The RX-6 does a fine job out of getting 12 second passes, if you spend some money on drag specific tires (ET streets or Nitos or whatever you like) you should be in the mid-high 11s (you'll need a cage) provided the rest of your car is setup to support the turbo properly. My car has run a 12.2 with a 2.6 second 60' on the RX-6 with a street port.
The RX-6 has some growth room (I'm running 4x850 injectors at 85% or so duty cycle w/ 14psi) to probably get down around high 10s worth of HP (though at this point you'll have to do quite a few other enhancements to the car or risk breaking every 3rd pass) as the turbo is good up to 18psi or so.
If you plan on daily driving the car watch out on your porting and plug selection unless you don't mind waiting around for 5-15 minutes while the car warms up before putting load on it (i.e. going anywhere).
