Ok boys throwin another idea at you.

If you could get a turbo (kinda thinkin about one now...can't get over that KICKA** sound haha) what setup would be ideal for a fun street/strip car.

Twins?
Big single?
Anything diff needed for it from a blower?


Tell me what ya think! Thanks!

 

I would get a single turbo. No real reason over the twin turbo setup, both are BA.

 

Would a smaller turbo be better so that it would spool faster or what?? I know nothing about turbos.

Its between this and a KB 2.8 haha.

 

Single turbo would be more cost effective and be fine if sized properly. The tune, piping, components are all going to be different. You will need hot side piping, an intercooler, a wastegate, a blow off valve, a blow through maf, tubular K-member, cold side piping, boost controller, and obviously the turbo itself.

 

70mm single turbo....YOU WON'T! Lets goooooo!!

 

you know what i think? i think you are made of money. lol

i wish i had your mod budget, but then again i might not spend it all on the car so its probably for the better.

 

you dont want a "big" turbo. in other words you dont want to install a 100mm that is capable of 1500 horsepower, if your only going to be running 500 (exaggerated numbers). it will take the turbo way too long to spool up. you want to properly size the turbo for how much horsepower your going to be running, so BEFORE you buy it is the critical time to decide your final horsepower goals and buy the smallest turbo that will get you to that number.

single turbo is 1-2k cheaper, but a twin turbo just has so much bad***ery behind it. so really just depends on you...and your bank account.

 

Hahahaha no def not made of money...jsut plannin for the future. I got a list goin of ALL the parts i want. Im not buyin the damn thing tomorrow haha...just wanting to know what WOULD be best.

I gotta focus on pharmacy school and makin the money before i can start spending it lol.

I jsut want a plan together. thats all

EDIT: also end goals are like 600-700 hp

 

Ryan04 has a 70mm turbo making a little over 670hp. I have read some of Ryan's post and he really knows his stuff about turbos. If you want to learn PM him. The stuff he knows is very impressive.

Here is a thread that talks about single vs twins that if I was you would read through: http://www.modularrevolution.com/for...ad.php?t=19185

Also, you should swap in an auto before you go turbo

 

It depends on what your plans are. If you're planning on running fast times at the strip, IE 10's and maybe 9's, just go with one, decently sized turbo.

If you're going to run a street car, don't even bother with twins, just go with a nice 61mm. It's more than enough for the street, you'll easily be able to run 550+rwhp on it, and it's going to have less than zero lag. It's close to the optimum size turbo for your application (I'd actually say a 64mm, since you're running the Trick Flow heads).

As far as what you need, I believe you need a pump for the oil return line, a different line for the oil feed than you would normally have, obviously a tubular K-member, and a decent tuner.

I'd imagine that you'll want to go with nice big injectors so you don't have to re size down the way, but that will also mean you have to spend more time tuning (depending on how big of injectors you decide to go with).

You'll obviously need the piping, and clearly you're going to need an FMIC, but I'd also recommend going with a decent 3 core radiator as well, depending on the weather in your area. With that intercooler in front, you'll be taking cool air away from the radiator. by the time it gets to the radiator, it will have passed through the intercooler, cooled the air down, and will be warmer. I'm not positive on the stock radiator size, but I'm fairly positive if you live somewhere with warm weather at any time, the measly single core radiator isn't going to cut it.

That's just the power and reliability aspects, then you have to look at how you're going to get the power to the ground. With 500+rwhp, something's going to break in your driveline, transmission, or the rear. I don't know how much you have done if anything to the trans or the rear, but if you ever start hooking up, they're gonna be toast.
