i know the answer is up in the air but tell me what you think

i have a 94 ex (z6) that im gonna rebuild the motor and turbo....homemade turbo kit.......i dont want HUGE power numbers but 200whp would be GREAT.......whats the most "practical" snail to use?....i want it to hit full boost around 3K and make power till like 7.5k.....would a t3/t4 be overkill?...t28 be more practical?

.42/.48 t3 :TU:

fast spool, and will support 200 pretty easy. figure that 10psi is going to get you right in that ballpark. i managed 12psi by 3300 on my a6 :TU:

i totally agree with ryan.... i think my t3t4 50trim is pushing it for the streets and daily driving because of the un-usable power... at the track its a differnt story!

 

[94EXa2]

so t3 it is?.....cant i use the top half of a stock exhaust mani to bolt up to the turbo if i wanted?....this is a BUDGET game for me

if you are using the top half of a HF/CX mani, yes. any other manifold will hang the turbo too low

and yes a straight t3, you can usually find a real Garrett used for around $100

14b is also a good choice...

yes :TU:

what are the spool time differences between the 2? arent they pretty similar?

 

[94EXa2]

whats the dif between 14b and a t3?

 

[SIred91]

I would like to know as well.....^^^

Srsly considering HMT on my zc single slam rex.

 

[94EXa2]

was considering a FULL out all motor build for the z6 and hopin 2 hit 150....but ill wait for my em1 and make that my all motor poormans type-r and have a boosted z6....sooner the better!

14b is a factory 1st gen eclipse turbo i think. i would go with the t3 if it were me. get a cx or hf mani, an adapter plate from bmc, dsm side mount possibly dsm bov, dsm 450s, and tune with crome for the ultimate budget build. and 200 is definatley in that ballpark.

 

[94EXa2]

think i might go with a fmic just b/c.....anything else you would suggest?

 

[lsturbohatch10]

the only dissadvantage of a front mount is the boost pressure drop you will have with that small of a turbo.

 

[Y8pwrdEf]

yea go with the t3... the 14b is tiny! its basically as big as a dounut and u will loose boost by 3500-4000... really shitty in my opinion but it is dirt cheap! but go with the T3....

run the WG vac source to the IM and you wont notice anything :TU:

Have you ever tried a 14b?

The 14b is a great turbo for 200 WHP.
It spools super fast because it has more blades on the turbine but it does run out of steam up top. On a stock d it shouldn't choke.
