Lol i got a 14.6@108...only my problem was lag LOL

 

Hope to see some good times once you guys get the cars working correctly.

 

hmmmm, my question got blasted over

 

Hmm, I'd answer for ya if I knew lol

 

how he pulled 83% idc with a 2.8

 

Yeah I'm not really sure

 

That stage 2 car is running 60lb injectors with a tune. Sorry missed that one

 

Ok, I'm a few days late, but yeah I bought a T3/TO4E hybrid with stage 3 wheel, .48a/r housing. Very decent price from SlowBoy: http://www.slowboyracing.com/estore/...at=1277&page=1

I actually talked to some Turbonetics technicians to spec the turbo out for a decent street setup on the 2.4L motor. This one is perfect for a mainly street-driven setup with occasional track fun. If you're worried about spool time on any of the Turbonetics T3/TO4E turbos, you can upgrade to the ceramic ball bearing option which supposedly helps decrease spool time dramatically.

 

So I've desied I'm going with either the T3/T4 50 trim or the GT2871rs. Is the T3/T4 bigger on the outside? Like will it even fit behind the engine? Also how much R{M difference in spooling is there between the T3/T4 and the GT2871?

 

Im also going to be using a GT2871 for my setup. I will also be making my own custom exhaust manifold. I should have pics up by mid winter lol

 

Well a few questions first:

What trim GT2871 would you be using?

Are you going to get the GT2871R, which is ball bearing? (On Garrett's site it appears all GT28s come with ball bearings.

If you got a T3/T4 would you get one with ball bearings?

 

I like the price of the non-bb T3/T4 but I know that's sacraficing spool time. The GT2871R will spool quicker be be about 50 hp short of the max output of a T3/T4 right? I drag race a lot too (1/4 mile) but I want the car to be fun to drive on the street too.

I don't know a whole lot about trims so I need some help choosing which is best for me. The GT2871R sounds like the cats ass but it's more expensive then the T3/T4 non-bb ofcoarse. The BB T3/T4 and GT2871R are only $40 difference.

Also the GT2876R is the same price as the GT2871R and it says it suports 450hp.

 

you'll need more than just cams, how about raising the compression and using 109 octane along with it!!

 

bump

 

don't even get into it, that guy knows everything, so you will just get proven wrong.

 

If you have the budget then go with the GT2871 but if money is an option the standard
T3/T4 is going to work for what you need. IF you trim it right spool up will not be an issue at all.

 

Tons of useful info under the Turbo basics link on Garretts webpage, check it out!

OK, so what are the issues with tuning these cars when you go turbo? I've heard they are some problems tuning once you convert using the factory PCM and HP Tuners.

 

From what I understand getting the fueling and timing just right is the main issue.

 

only problem i can see is part throttle tuning. im sure you'll get it down just fine though

 

Any new info on this?
