[QUOTE=Sholva!;1913989]I’m buliding a turbo kit but I’m not sure weather to go a
T3
60 trim, .60 ar cold / 69 trim, .63 ar hot
or a
T3/T4
50 trim, .50 ar cold / 76 trim, .63 ar hot
Initially I’m planing on running 8 psi with stock revs but eventually upgrading to 8 psi @ 8k rpm and then finally 14 psi @ 8k rpm. Any suggestions?[/QUOTE]
60 trim, .60 ar cold / 69 trim, .63 ar hot:rockon:
I just put a t3 .42/.48 (garrett) on my built non-vtec b18a (just for now), and am REALLY surprised at how well it does. It makes power well above stock redline, to my limit of 7500. It really pulls very well. I was reading everyone’s posts about it dying off at 5500, and I now think that they were probably just saying what somebody else told them, and not their personal experience. For the street, I love the T3, and the .60/.63 should have even more top end, but I dont have experience with that. Another plus about the T3 is that I have 6 psi by 2200-2500 RPM, and all 10 of mine by 3000-3300. It really depends on what it is being used for, and what your needs and goals are. the T3/T4 is great for higher power levels, but if you can reach your goal with a T3, I would go for that. Just my 2 cents.
t3/t4 a/r 70 .63 hot side (SC61) rated for a lil over 600hp. full boost by 5000 rpm and big ass topend. 16psi 8200 redline for now. i like the late boost. its called saving gas while driving around town. im shoting for 22 psi for my new daily services. best turbo i bought
I have a T3 48/60 on my completely stock B18a (high mileage) and this thing is wonderful! I get full boost (6 psi for now) at like 3200 rpm. I don’t like late boost setups… And speaking of gas savings, I’m getting better MPG with this setup than when I was non-turbo. If you drive normally, a small turbo will not be a gas drinker.
