Hey i have an 07 SS/SC and i am looking to build a custom turbo kit. I have been searching around for a little and couldn't really find a good size turbo for the car. I was wondering what you guys would recommend? What size turbo and trim? thanks

 

what r ur goals? desired spool time or powerband? street driven car or for track?

 

"i want to build a custom turbo kit but i don't know anything about turbo's" is what this should have said.

read them. practice. you will understand and appreciate your set-up that much more

 

What turbo should I buy? The smallest one that meets your power goals. This is an answer in it's simplest form

 

drink up

 

looking for around 500 hp street car. also done spooling at around 4000 or 4500

 

Gt3076r or Gt3582r. That's just me.

 

i personally like the ball bearing gt3076

 

Yeah me too. The 35r has too much lag for my taste, but OP wants to hit 500. I'm not sure if a 30r could meet his end goals. 400 is plenty IMO, perfect for a 30r.

 

Fp hta 3076r

 

Or.....you could always go ZZP.

 

3076 is very capable of 500.. i have a friend with a 3076 evo.. 498 to the tires

 

i have the gt3582 and it starts to spool at ~4500rpm in low gear. i think the block will need to be sleeved to support 500hp. i would shoot for 400 crank horsepower for a nice reliable dd.

 

My bad. It was an assumption.

But then again an evo's not a lsj.

 

the 76 is more than capable of putting down 500 whp. But this guy doesn't know what he's getting into to see those kind of numbers. You could always do a precision 62/62 if the budget is capable. I love those turbos

Heck if the dsm guys can push 500 awhp out of a tiny little evo 16g it can be done on the 3076. Just sayin

 

Lesson learned.

 

Holset HX35

But please read what Blazin posted and what Stiner said is also very accurate.

Precision billet 5857

 

Personally, GT28RS would be bitchin for spool

 

you're the ***
