tbh i'm only really looking for 1/4 drags... and occasional cruise around town... i wouldn't mind hitt 500hp... but more realistically 350-450 is my goal.

 

Do you know what it takes to hit 350-450 crank HP?

Figure out which turbo to suit your needs . . . there is even a formula for a conservative turbo setup.

Ideal HP range from Mitsu turbo. Don't use the Evo 4-8 turbo. Different turbo design.

Search the thread for Omar's turbo setup. He has a T3/T4 which can power beyond 500 whp, but he was just getting the bare minimum of 300 crank HP. Therefore, the turbo has even reached its peak performance.

IMO, a small or big 16G is good enough for your needs. Prices range from 300-620 bucks . . . +750 bucks = ripoff.

 

big question... and probably whats going to be the most expensive is what are you going to do about the timing of the Mivec?

 

that is why i'm asking this... i'm still new like i said... but i'm going to try to build one up...
