Re: I bought a turbo

That's too small, actually. It would be good if you wanted to do twin turbos though.

Re: I bought a turbo

^i agree. the listing says the turbo maxes out at 240 hp...where are you getting 280?

it could be good for a twin setup. even large turbos build ridiculous torque at low rpm. cartuning's base kit makes peak hp at 3500 rpm! i think the twin setup would compound the diesel-like torque.

It's tiny!

Re: I bought a turbo

i know its tiny but i have a 3.4l. I figure i will probably have boost at an idle that would be cool, i got 280hp from searching about it thats 120hp above factory and since its a stock motor with 185k on the clock i dont want to run to much boost.

It's too small for anything bigger than a 4 cylinder, honestly. It's a perfect turbo for a 2.0L.

You won't see good performance out of that one... it's so small it'll choke your car off very badly. And don't worry too much about the mileage. The extra compression will increase stress, but not as bad as people tend to think.

Re: I bought a turbo

its not that its so small you will see little gains... its that you are wasting your time. Yes you have a 3.4, but thats alot compared to a 2.0 foreign car. Do some reading up and research and then save some cash and do it right. There are tons of threads and stickies about turbo and such.

Re: I bought a turbo

alright thx for the input guys i guess at the very least i can use it as a mockup to build the rest of the turbo kit or maybe twins with FFH

Re: I bought a turbo

let us know how it goes...

I think twin turbo would be awsome... find another one that size :)

Re: I bought a turbo

Thet is halfe the TT that comes in a Nissan 300zx. It's a t25 style, but doesn't appear to be Garrett (I just traded a par of them for some 3400 parts). As stated, you will need two because they only flow about 25CFS, your engine would make boost down low, but the spinning compressor wheel will become like a wall at upper RPM's, along with the turbine doing the same to the exhaust.
