New to the forum so I'm bombarding it with questions, mostly to talk cars and pick experienced members' brains. My question is: What rpm are you generating peak boost at and what kind of power are you seeing? Love the idea of generating peak boost early for drivability with the ability to produce some pretty decent power. Would love to know what turbos you like for this application and hear you brag about your setups.

 

what power level are you looking to hit?

 

This will be perfect. Make sure to get the Tial 1.30 AR hot side too.

This. Spool usually has an inverse relationship to power so there's no magic setup for TONS of power at low RPM. Plus, if you put your power goals out there you might actually get someone in that power range to post their setup. Otherwise, just look at the Dyno Results forums if you want an idea about power/spool on any given setup.


So cruel! I love it

All of the above said, it's not just about turbo selection but supporting mods as well. Exhaust, cams, and even IC piping can affect spool and power. There's also the age old solution to add nitrous or a supercharger to the mix for low RPM power with a big turbo for the top....

 

That is not nice Letsgethisdone

Please don't do that bro, you will never spool that turbo. The turbo is too big and hotside is also too big.

 

lol...


In all seriousness get one of these and call it a day. 400-430 on pump gas, around 475 on E85, very close to stock like spool.

I was actually looking at a junkyard turbo from an F-350 and running it without the BOV.. should give some solid boost.

 

around 450 awhp at max I'd say. Eventually building the engine for longevity and ability to increase power down the line but I think that's enough power for now.

 

+1 on the 18k
Hard to beat that nicely matched turbine/compressor design.

If you want to go crazy for spool (like I did), a 9 blade TD05 with a GTX style 20g compressor is wicked fast spool and will most likely get you 450whp on E85. I am running 93octane on a conservative self tune and am kissing or at 400whp (from 220whp stock).

Do not do this.

I'll definitely look into that setup because that sounds like right where I want to be. And don't worry no junkyard turbos for me haha

 

GTX3576R Gen II stock frame turbo from ATP is my vote.

 

He caught the sarcasm, and returned in spades...lol

 

You joke but one time I sold an AirWerks turbo from a powered M110 howitzer to a young guy who said it was going into a honda...

Those only have a 400 horse Detroit. Prob went fine on the Honda...LOL
