I have a 2.3 stroker, GSC s2, S&R's, Shep trans. I already have a t3 manifold on the side. Should I go doing the rest of the t3 kit or go with a BB fp black? Which turbo do you guys recommend in my situation. I'll be using pump gas. My goal is around 500+ whp, but if I can have a fun 480whp, I can live with that.

 

You should be able to make that power with either turbo. With a 2.3, the larger t3 turbo might be worth it. Although, with the black its gonna rip real soon in the rpm band lol. I just finished a 2.3/hta86 build. I have no regrets. This thing is perfect for the street. I can drive around town all day and not get into any boost if I dont want to. If I do want to, its just hitting the gas a little harder or a downshift.

 

Dont wanna be that dude but do your research and get what you think would suit yourself best.. honestly imo I would go the t3 route because there are so many different turbos you can run on that set up.. so t3 6262

 

Definately the T3 set up.

 

This is called "research"

 

I agree the t3 would be a better route since there are so many turbos and housing to chose from.

 

Go t3 and buy a bb 6262.....

 

The 500whp may be your goal now, but how long until you get bored with that?
I'd say T3 6266

 

cant go wrong either way man

 

t3 hta86 or 6266 you wont regret it

 

Thank you guys. T3 it is. I'll post numbers when it's all said and done.

 

gtx3576r t3 ss 1.06 a/r my choice on 2.3

 

Since you already have the T3 manifold, the choice is obvious. And since you want 500whp on pump gas, I would select one of the smaller T3 turbos (i.e. 3076r) in order to further minimize lag. And then again, it all depends on how you are going to use your car.

 

It will be a street car. I didn't know 30r size turbos could make that on pump.
