thinking of a turbo setup

edub370 · 03-27-2012, 01:52 PM

TBH tho, for the minimal boost that most people run on these cars (anywhere from 7-10psi most of the time) a larger turbo isn't needed because 600whp is the danger zone for these engines. seems almost like a smaller turbo would serve a better purpose for the boost that we are running, no?

I agree

This is true to a degree. Once people start building the engines, this becomes a problem. Now you have to use a large turbine for the added flow, but you will lose a lot of spool with a kit that places the turbo far from the engine. Also, these engines are not made to be torque monsters, so low RPM boost does not play a big role. This is a high revving V6 and it makes its power at 4500rpm+.

I will have 4 turbine options, so it will cover everything from a stock block to a fully built one.

No such thing, it must be a T4 .68 then.
