The car already has the built motor to handle enough boost to reach that goal no problem. It's currently running T-25 setup and that is all gonna go in order to reach the new goal. I don't want to talk about transmission's and rearends, i know more power can break them, worry about that when and if it comes.

Planned Components:
Manifold/3" DP and Exhaust/IC piping (Fab'd By Me, Over Rad IC Piping)
T3 Turbine platform. Want opinions on different turbos.
Megasquirt Fuel and Spark, wired in parallel with stock ECU.
550 cc injectors (Have from RX-7 cleaned, ready to go)
DO Alky Kit

I have read most everything, talked to people, and looked at compressor maps for different turbos. There are many turbos that are efficient enough to reach my goal of 300 HP and surpass it. What turbo(s) are going to be most efficient for this setup and why do you think so? Early spooling, or lower temps whatever reason you think one is better, fill me in with your experience or knowledge.
Will my stock fuel pump be enough with MS with 550s for 300 HP or will i need larger ones or a walbro, any thing like that.
Thanks guys.

If you are willing to drop a few clams on your turbo the GT3271 will get you there. If you are feeling cheap, then the same $200 cheap *** chinese turbo I run can take you there. Budget is going to be a primary driver.

Personally while 550's at 7000 RPM are capable of doing the job, you will be pushing them. Something larger would be nice, but raising the fuel pressure and using a walbro 255hp would address the injector issue.

So really, it's a matter of how much you want to spend on the turbo. The Precision SC-61 will make mad power, but does spool later.

Mark's Recipe works, so does Andy's, I would look at something along those lines.

Unless your thinking more?

Mark are you and Andy running the same turbo when it comes down to A/R ratios. I know he has the real thing and you have the ghettocharger but is everything else similar?
Think his is GT3271 .78a/r hotside -- .50 a/r coldside.
They spool soon enough for my liking, I'm not the type to like boost by 2000 RPM anyway IMO that's just unnecessary. I'll be building a log mani this spring for the turbo and a $200 ghettocharger could be easily squeezed into the budget for that in order to have it all together by May maybe.
You say it would be pushing it with the 550s at 7000 RPM, would 750's be more along the lines of ideal or something around that size. I'll stick with the 550s for now cause they're cleaned and paid for, but knowledge is a great thing.

Jefe, I'll stick with 300 for now with the idea of building a system that would be able to produce more power with a turbo swap and more fuel.

marks ghettocharger is a 57 trim garrett clone. Its not really comparable to the GT3271 but it seems that both turbos react about the same when it comes down to it. My turbo will spool a little sooner but wont make as much power after 7200 rpm since my compressor flows less than his. If I was you and I wanted a 300whp turbo that will hit full boost from 3500 to 4500 I would go with the GT3271....but thats just me

Thanks for the input.
What's the max PSI for the GT3271 or HP ceiling you think we'd see on our built motors?

F20turbo

24psi, 380whp

Good lord that would be glorious.
What are you shooting for? After the manifold, what's next?

Yer nuts

I am pretty sure Im gonna run an EMU and use 550's and up the pressure to get enough fuel to the engine. I wont run over 21psi, so my goal is to make 350whp @ 21psi on stock cams. After that Im thinking of trying out a set of 264' cams to get another 15whp revving out to 7500 or so.

I thought you were going hydra? Thought about MS?

F20turbo

I was gonna use a Hydra but I cant make up my mind.

AEM. so much better. wish I could run one easily in my 01.

Markp

I will concur with Andy, he has the better turbo in many respects for the application. My $200 turbo was an experiment, a rather decent result for the $$$$ spent, but I'd rather have the GT3271.

Andy's .78 A/R turbine outspools my .63 A/R turbine.

This may change a bit as the boost gets turned up. I, like Andy, am shooting for about 350 RWHP.

Mark

F20turbo

First to 350whp wins

Markp

Since I am waiting on castings, I think you are gonna win.

Mark

F20turbo

I dont think I can hit 350whp on a stock ecu setup w/ fmu.....thats REALLY pushing it

Come on, make it happen you're so close.

Why in the world would you choose EMU over the Hydra?

F20turbo

$$$$$

Al Hounos

MS that ****!! $$$$ cheaper and much better than EMU.
