T3/T4 Hybrid or Is There Better

[V6Firebird94]

Im trying to decide what turbo would be best for my 94 and me and my buddy were talking about the t3/t4 hybrid but we wanted to see if yous felt that would be the best turbo for my car or if there is a better one......if there is please let me kno.....the turbo is whats keepin me from gettin an LS1 lol

I'd go with a straight T04/E, which I think is the same turbo in the Ford Powerstroke Diesel. The 3.8 has enough exhaust pressure to turn a T04 compressor and you will probably get better efficiency with increased exhaust flow through the compressor. A T3/4 hybrid would spool a bit quicker but you wouldnt get the most effective use of it. Good luck!

if i use my nitrous system on like a 50 shot it would spool it up quick neway right?

Honestly I think a T04 is tooo biig.

i think the to4 series is almost ideal for the 3.4/3.8. it isnt a huge enourmas turbo and it still makes great power. it is an all around workhorse of a turbo!! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

what do u think i could expect out of quarter mile time if its properly tuned?

if you use a t3/t4 like most of us use u should see 12's properly tuned.

would not mind that at all, now the TO4 makes more power then the T3/T4 hybrid i take it so, so wouldnt that more then likely give me a better time and i remember watchin a video of a supra with t51r blow the h*ll of a mustang now is that a good turbo to go with or just stick between the TO4 and T3/T4 hyrid when i go to buy the turbocharger?

Why do you need a turbo when you have a tornado?

[V6Firebird94]

u can knock it but it really does help ull feel the difference in second gear...

At 9psi of boost you wouldn't even feel the difference between a t04 or t3/t4 if you have a properly setup system!!
A t3/t4 hybid .60/.63 is a base line to start with on a 3800 v6 stock!!
