Customize Turbo Setup

[patrick4588]

thermal is a good exhaust, just pricey. i am going to get a kteller exhaust and weld a muffler on of my choice

Why not an SC61 as your turbo, they are what a lot of people use on their GSRs and they can put down some good numbers at 10-13psi, which is what i would do if I were gonna run it stock for a while.

 

[patrick4588]

sc61 is still kinda big for a stock motor. i would just get a turbo suited for the stock bottom end and then when you build it get another a new turbo and sell the old one.

thats what i was thinking
patrick...
i dont know if i'm retard or what not
but i can not find one of those turbos you were telling me about
can send me a link or something with one
so i can get an idea




and i'm going tomorrow to look at 97 gsr with 52000 miles
i'm excited!

I dont see the point in buying a turbo then sellin it for another turbo.....yeah it may be a little big, but then again thats why you tune......build around the turbo that way you dont spend money on another turbo afterwards......besides a stock GSR with a SC61 will put you easily into the 300 whp, atleast Ive seen a few put those numbers down.....a little more at 13spsi.

you can make well over 400whp on a 57 trim t3/t4 as well, and it will spool faster. you want to run your turbo in its efficiency range. a 60-1(which is what an sc61 is) doesnt quite fall into that category for a stock gsr. he wants to build the motor later, which will cost over 2000 if he sleeves it; whats another 200 bucks for a new turbo? if he buys a turbo for 600 new, in a year when he needs to sell it, he can get 350-400 for it. yes its true you want to build your setup around the turbo, but when he basically has 2 setups, i say get a turbo for each. there is no reason to run a turbo too big for a stock motor. get one that will be efficient and then sell it when you want to go bigger.

and here is a link. you can get it from spoolin along with your manifold.

because tuning can make the turbo smaller and more efficient???? rofl.

k
so i've been searching more about my turbo set up
and...
for my 38mm wastegate
how much bar do i want?
Bar: .5? .6? .7? .8? .9?

 

[dc2GS-R]

That's up to you. How much boost do you want? Bar is a measurement of boost

 

[Spody02]

i have no idea
but i'm gonna be running in on a stock gsr motor
or mostly stock, not sure yet still looking
(so hard to find a good one with low miles)
i'm gonna have a Garrett T3/TO4E 60 trim
so what do you guys think would be a good psi to run around at?

 

[patrick4588]

about 9psi would be reliable

 

[Boosted SuFi]

between 7-9 psi is safe reliable for a stock GSR motor

Thanks Guys!!!!
