What do you guys think? It seems a little small for my 200whp goal (but I'm more after quick spool up). going to try and find a used HKS mani if i decide to get this.

Anyone use this turbo?

MiazdaBLUE

you'll be fine with taht... 200whp isn't a hard goal with a good tune...and some kindof ecu. 200-240 maybe more whp can be acieved with the greddy system... i mean ahviously not just that, but that size turbo...td04h

I had one of these (or something VERY VERY similar) and it spooled up damn near immediately, I liked it better than the GT2560R that I traded it in on. I personally felt it was a $700 mistake. On the street it's a rockin' little turbo. It won't make "big" power, but for ~200 HP or slightly less, it's fantastic.

I bet that would be a great turbo for a miata. I am using a GT2554BB and while it is not annoyingly slow at spoolup, i certainly would not want any more lag on the street. I bet that thing would spool like a WRX with an exhaust

I got a T25 .48/.49 off eBay for $265. I'm shooting for 220rwhp with it, and hopefully more on big boost (17+psi) and water injection.

just get yourself a t25 of a nissan.. saves a lot of money..

exhaust side is also different... and i hope you can get the studs out..

Get a DSM/Nissan T25.. if its not enough.. swap out the internals and make it a t28. That should far exceed the potential of your internals. Anything after that is built engine.

See here for examples:

I'm trying to stay as low as possible on price as to not take a big chunk from my funds, so rebuilt is a little tough to swing.

I was thinking the T25 from a nissan would be nice, but I've read about flange fitment problems and such?

The Nissan T25 fit perfect on Bellengineering manifolds and downpipes as they are standard garret flanges.

hmm, so thats any nissan t25? SR20, 88-89 300ZX..?

SR20DET Motor, the 300ZX has a 5 bolt pattern.

^Yeah sorry. I guess when i refer to Nissan T25 i mean the SR20 turbo which is what most of us run.
I personally don't know anyone running the 300zx turbo.

2 people on here run a 300zx turbo, the question is who would WANT to when you can have a more universal (in terms on pre fab components) turbo.

cjernigan

iTrader: (13)

Exactly. The SR20 turbos are easy to come by and are what I consider industry standard flanged.
There was a SR20 turbo for sale in the forsale section earlier.

No affiliation and the turbo needs a rebuild but this might be a lead for you otherwise check sr20forum .com or .net

Used Nissan t25- cheap
t3 wheel- cheaper

The website was an example.

That'd be easy to find a low price on a dsm t25 they're basicly given'm away for the most part , they're crap on a 4g63 ( i should know i owned a couple ) you can set a MBC for may be 18psi and your lucky if they can put out 15psi. Now has any body used a 16g (usually the first upgrade on a dsm) either small or big?

The DSM turbo and the SR20DET turbo are different turbos completely flange wise...

You can find a SR20DET on some of those forums that need a rebuild for CHEAP if your lucky.

that's precisely why I'm thinking about selling my T3 manifold and turbo and going to a T25... more streetable and the aftermarket downpipes are easier to get. The "internal gate" T3s limit you to a shitty stock O2 housing from some random vehicle or an expensive and hard to fit v-band unit from WOT.

no problems with my internal gate and fitting DPs on two different manifolds....DP should bolt right up to it...



I make 1psi at 1800RPM and 12psi at 3800RPM, with a 2.25" catback.....
