i have an Evo Ix and i have been thinking about a little bit bigger of a turbo. now i don't want to go huge becuase im not a dyno queen im looking for a good streetable turbo thats spools up within a decent amount of time. i ran across the 20g lt. Would this help me enough to buy it. I know that it is a good upgrade for the XIII but should i even bother on the IX. or should i go with the aps kit or maybe a 50 trim. Ne advice, numbers or ideas you guys have would be apperciated. thanks

 

i would go 50 trim (from the amount of research i have been doing)..

but where did you see the APS kit being sold? i have been looking all over the place for that kit...didnt find anything.

 

i say go with a 50 trim, honestly with ur evo IX the 20lt is not going to give u much more power. I think you should pick a turbo considering your overall goal for the car, do you want to be at 400whp, 500whp, do you mind a little more lag??? what do you want your track time to be around.

 

no such thing as a aps turbo kit for an evo ix

 

Are you sure go to www.hopupracing.com its in there. its cheap as hell too? my overall goals to be between 400 and 500 no higher than 5 becuase this is my everyday car and the more power the problems seem to arise. my track time goal ...well like a low 11 maybe a 10 down the road.

 

And yes i hate turbo lag... i really don't want my turbo to finnally hit full boost at 5000 that sucks!

 

do you have any mods/tuning done to your car right now? if not, you should try what the stocker is capable of doing before jumping on to turbo kits right away.

there is more than 50whp to be had on the stocker for less than 2k$ and 100whp for around 4k$ on pump gas. upgrading the turbo is usually more expensive than people think (injectors, fmic, turbo kit, clutch, etc...).

I am debating getting this turbo as well, but I am sure if I spend similar $ on improving suspension/chasis/tires the car will be faster around twisties

 

also, that is not an APS turbo kit - its ATP. APS stuff is top notch and not cheap! one of my friends has their twin turbo kit on his 350Z with forged engine - nice stuff

 

i will never buy anything from hopup racing again anyway... they screwed me over pretty bad

 

I agree with the bolt on route first. A extra 100whp does make the car feel very different. As far as the 20GLT it is a 49lb wheel opposed to a 50lb wheel in the 50 trim. Very similiar results will be had with these turbos.

IMO the 20GLT is a better deal when you can save 1K+ over a 50 trim kit.

 

Agreed. Also the green turbo(FP trade mark, same as 20g-lt) for DSMs is a garret 50 trim with larger tdo6 exhaust wheels. They cant physically do that with an EVO 16g due to the reverse rotation.

 

but with the 50 trim kit... ya could always pull the turbo and put a larger turbo and sell the 50 trim...

or have couple turbo's depending on how much power < lag (35r) or lag < power ( 50 trim)

cheers!

 

Hi guys,

Would anybody know what is the flow of the stock Evo 9 turbo? Much more than Evo 8 stock turbo?

Thanks.

 

That's not really relevant to the original question, but a very important consideration if the person is unsure if they will ever want to go bigger.

 

alright well i do have some upgrades and it is almost time for me to go big turbo that is why i am bringing up the issue. i have buschur tbe, o2 housing,turbo manifols,intake,mbc, custom flash and tune, 780 injectors and 255 fuel pump, and im getting my deluxe fmic in two weeks.
so with that what do you guys think would be good for me. i should have put that info in my first post but it was early and i was tierd.
