  • turbo guys help me out

    alright so throughout the last couple weeks, i have been working out a deal with tiago for a turbo kit. The only thing that is still undecided is turbo size. I want alot of power from it. my car will be drag raced but it also has to be streetable. I have full exhaust, intake, and 3.73s/LSD. I will also be adding Abbott P&P'd heads/intake and a turbo cam and new valvetrain. What size of turbo would you reccomend. I dont want tons of lag but i also want plenty of mid range and top end power for drag racing

    thanks

            That's awesome Shane. You know I always wonder. WHat's the limit of boost can a stock Supra engine can take?

              the stock bottom end was so over built on the FI 2JZ motors. So much so that i dont think an aftermarket one would offer much more strength at all. Back to the topic. I agree with shane a small T4 is a great choice.

                i was thinking either a t3/t4 or a t61, but tiago reccommended a t04 so was wondering what you guys thought would be best?

                  if your going heads and cam the t-70 with .70/.68 spools just fine and you'll have plenty of power

                    Put in a PT61 and call it a day...you cannot find a turbo for its price that will provide you with midrange and topend...hths!

                        Im not just tryin to sell u my turbo but I think the 62-1 i have would be perfect, its 1mm bigger then a T61....it was too small for my HP i was making.....i dont think ur going to go over 600hp so this turbo will be more then enuff.....it has a small exhaust side for very fast spool.

                        Ill sell you it for 600 shipped.
