Default RE: Turbo!!!

It was 230.00. I will keep everyone informed. Cobra, if you dont like it, dont look. I did the research and checked the compressor map. I did the map, it will work. It may not be ideal, but then again, I am going with what I got. Thats the beauty of hotrodding and DIY builds. Thanks for the support guys. Here is the map, sorry if its hard to read, but you can see the plotted points across the bottom. Its from 3000 to 5500 at 8 psi max.

never said i didn't like it. it's a gret turbo but just too small. back when i had my 86 that turbo was king in that car for the street but tuning was not like it was today either. just trying to keep you from making a mistake. a T70 or a Dodge diesel takeoff Holset HX35Y is a much better choice. the air demands of the 3.8 are rather high and can take alot of air especially if the heads and intakes are ported. i would hate to see you run a turbo that runs out of steam by 4,000 rpm's which running only 1 of those will do. that would make for an awsome twin setup

Default RE: Turbo!!!

Sorry, rough day yesterday. I just dont want someone flaming me for trying. I go with what I can afford. I will upgrade down the road when I can. I think it will be good for 300 HP the way it is now, with some tuning and a boost cooler. Then I can upgrade. I want to do a v8 swapdown the road anyway. Sorry hardcore v6 guys, but the aftermarket hasnt got on board with the 3.8 the way it has with the v8. If it does, maybe I will change my mind. But I still think a moderate HP v6 will be a blast to build, so here I go.

You won't see more than 220 hp or so with that as a single unit, and you'll see max boost prior to getting mid way into your RPM range.
