I can get a brand new one for 450 from a friend who went larger. Thinking about buying it for my Turbo swap. How much power can i make? Good? Bad?

 

Too small for your application. Not even worth it. You'll need at least a GT2871R. GT3071R is even better though.

 

you can pay a little more for a t3/t4 and youll make alot better power...not to mention there is alot less involved with running a journal bearing turbo...and ball bearing doesnt make that big of a difference

 

^^ please explain alot less involved with a journal bearing turbo??

to the OP, how much power is good power?

 

^^^Journal bearings usually don't require coolant lines to be run, but ball bearing turbos spool faster.

 

Ball bearing FTMFW!!

 

I'm looking for 300whp-330whp max. Not looking to be extreme. Just want something fun to drive around.

 

My setup only on 18psi is runni 320whp and im using the Precision SC50 turbo.

 

Just a few off the top of my head. The Garrett and the Mitsubishi turbo will spool faster. My Integra with it's 1.8 liters of fury spools the 16G fully by 3500rpms and the turbo will support those power numbers you want. I got my real MHI EVO III 16G brand new from turbochargers.com for $510 shipped!

What A/R?

Thanks 2K. The GT2871R is on the top of my list.

 

Put a 30R on that beast

 

Holset imo...

But the 2560r is way too small

 

I'm on Precision's site and i'm wondering how fast the spool is for the SC50 with the .36A/R compared with the .63 A/R

 

You should be right where you want with the .63AR.

 

Werd good power for the money, you picked up a good size for good money if I remember correctly?

 

IIRC my SBR T3/T04E 50 trim is made by Precision turbo and is the same as the SC50. It spools pretty quick. 15-16psi by 3500-3800rpm. It works way better then before on 18psi on the SC.

 

thats gotta be one of the happiest dynos in the land.

 

Would your car even put that down?

 

are you kidding me rite now........?

 

You misunderstood me, I meant would your car even put that down at that given PSI?

 

yes, its dam close to that at that given psi but i'm on a larger frame turbo (SC6031RS) thus moving more air, with more lag tho.

not much, the early re-build with ceramic BB's and the higher RPM balance helped out as well. the manifold swap made the single largest difference.

 

How big of a FMIC are you guys running?

 

not.

stuck with the A/W unit.

different cores, but still the same.

i have an external A/W core ready to go once the KFI-intake manifold is completed here shortly.

you just cant beat an air to water set up, they'll absorb a dam good amount of heat.

 

Exactly my point. Your car's performance can only be found in my wettest dreams

 

then you have week dreams.

mine hopes should become reality after i get this dam intake made, the ported head on and tune the cam's in.

then, and only then, might i be happy.
