Other turbo options

I've been thinking about going with a different turbo lately, anyone have any good suggestions what to go with, somewhat on a budget. I've read into the zzp kit and was seeing if anyone could put in any input as to what else is out there.

BNR might be a good option for you since you've already got a good chunk of bolt ons.

BNR stg 2 upgrade would be good for you if your wanting somewere around 400whp

It's inexpensive aswell... $1200 you can't beat it and it will bolt right up

I mean if you have the little extra cash then I'd highly rec. ZZP'S kit but for budget that is the perfect turbo

Bolting a non twin scroll turbo to our manifold would be unfavorable

TTR just released a T3 Log Manifold for $300 and you can get a Non ETT Bullseye turbo for under $800. If you wanted to make a budget custom kit that is..

buy a log mani and get a precision 3431 57mm. Thats what il be going with very soon. good for more than 500hp and will be full spool before 3500rpms with a good tune. My friend is running a 6265 on his 240sx with a sr swap. He sees 25 psi at 3600 rpms and thats a much much larger turbo on a motor thats about the same size as ours.

I've actually been looking into using Treadstone's T3 manifold and a Borg Warner 7074 EFR as another option. I have pretty much decided I am going to have to build my motor since I'm already at 73k and I amy as well go for more power...insert grunt here ....dunno I have just heard these turbos rock

So, it all really depends on your goals as well as your budget.

would need to be drilled and a wastegate flange welded on either way. might as well go with a zzp manifold at that point

If you buy a EWG, it comes with the flanges. But you can just buy ZZP's, nothing wrong with that either! Just saying you can make a budget kit lol...
