Choosing a Turbo...

[Cryfreeman]

is so hard

I have a set goal in my head which is around 11.5sec 1/4's with terms around 125 which would make you think choosing a turbo is easy.

Nope.

Do I buy a all in one shizzle which SHOULD get me to my goal like the below kit, based on the GT3076r.

or do I over spec with say a GT35 and its extra lag but safe in the knowledge my mother could drive it to my goals?

Both my friends will be in the 11's so cant mess this up

How much power you looking at getting out of the engine?

I would say go for little lag as possible.

 

[ScoobyDoo69]

GT35 for ability to go faster if needed/wanted.

what car is it?

 

[Cryfreeman]

what car is it?

Evo 3

Buying in from the USA,Turbo's etc that fit 1g/2g eclipse/talon's are direct bolt on for early Evo's, same engine(basically).

Massive amount of stuff to choose from.

Wanting around 500hp.

20psi by 4k doesnt seem tooooo bad?

 

[helpimcrap]

get the biggest turbo you can get and then get the boost to come in gradual maybe using the ECU?

 

[Matt82]

one thing ive learn in life is that if there is something bigger/better, just get that one otherwise youll end up wonder "what if" and "shoulda/woulda/coulda"

even if you get the lag free turbo that will get the power, when you want to exceed that power, youll be wanting the other bigger turbo etc

Nicely put, never really thought of it like that

will have to think it over a bit more but leaning towards the 35r

When does the 3076 hit full boost by?

btw... that's a big turbo

Get the bigger turbo and a anti lag system

Seriously, the 35r will be your best bet, because you can have the same power as with a smaller turbo, with room for more, as your car might not get the times you want with the power you're aiming at. So the best thing to do is to add more power, which can be easily done the the 35r. Buy it, fit it, tune it to a good medium, then if needed, turn up the boost. O and use N.O.S (filter blocked it??) as anti-lag if you're fussed about before the turbo comes in

Get the GT35R and some adjustable vernier pulleys and cams then you can play with the cam timing to reduce the lag.

exactly what i was gonna say

Anti lag ***!

 

[Gribs]

Bigger turbo and some *** to sort out the lag. (why's n o s filtered?)

Because its to stop all the bay racer type talk AFAIK and because its a single brand.

It should really be refered to as NO2 not NO.S

Edit: You wouldnt use N'O2 to sort out lag, The best thing to use is an Anti lag System

NO2 not NO.S

Nitrous oxide is N2O, not NO2 (nitrogen dioxide)

You can use nitrous oxide very effectively to prevent lag, as it increases peak torque at low to mid RPM - so whilst the turbo spools, the N20 compensates at low engine speeds until the turbos kicks in.

N2O also increases exhaust gas pressure and heat which can help spool the turbo faster.

Running N2O and a turbo simultaneously can gain you massive power increases provided the engine can handle it - but this can backfire as it can increase induction temperatures phenomenally so you have to have an excellent intercooler, or have a system in place to cut it off if it gets too hot (as you stand to loose performance, or increase the chances of detonation and wave bye-bye to your pistons!).
