Restoring my 1995 RX7 and have decided to go single turbo. I am currently looking at a GT45R, I will be using a divided manifold with dual wastegates.
My goal is 550-650 HP and keeping the car street able, engine is a Semi Pp with street port built by pineapple racing,
Would the GT45R be a good choice or will I end up regretting it for my goals?

 

Turbo is way to large for that.

Here is a G40-900 for example( not a semi pport, but its in your power goals)

You could use the G40-1050 also if you wanted to run less boost, generally a high powered turbo however, most of our customs are making 700+rwhp with it.

 

That is about where I want to be power wise, I am not wanting to be the fastest but have a reliable car for the occasional event/cars and coffee etc.

Thank you!

 

If you want 650 on a dyno dynamics or mainline go to the 71mm inducer G40-1150, that's overspeed territory on the G40-900.

 

agreed on the G40-1150, but I can also see a G42-1200C with 1.01 divT4 working too if it somehow becomes a cost efficiency option (barely used, on sale, etc.).

it also has a pretty fat center island 78% efficiency. a slightly higher 77% turbine efficiency (vs. 76% G40), and would be on par with the largest G40 1.19 divT4 turbine flow capacity if going for the high end of the goal; 650whp, or more in the future (86+ lbs/min).

Great results! Do you have any 100–200 km/h or 60–130 mph times for this car? I’m planning to run a G40-900 with a 1.19 T4 and the Turblown UIM (excesive lim), and I’m curious what it could do with the turbo maxed out. Was the G40 maxxed at 23-24psi or did it have more to go?

 

I’m not looking for max HP, but more along the lines of just a fun to drive car that can move if need be. I don’t want to have something I can’t take to say the tail
of the dragon if I wanted to.

budget is a concern as I am way deep into this restoration as I have replaced every seal, screw etc that was available from Mazda or Aftermarket with some bubble tech upgrades as well.

what would be some budget turbos with similar performance/characteristics as the G40-900 ?

 

BW S369SX-E maybe, or S363 on the lower end, maybe S366 in the middle of your range

BW EFR options won’t be cheap, someone else will need to input for other brands.

or Pulsar china copycat equivalent of the G40, but you get what you pay for
