Best Turbo for K24 with K20A head

[unvmy98ls]

looking at full race for turbos right now but have no idea what I am looking at, but I have been an NA tuner for a long time and true power is in turbo, fresh to it and I need to know what you guys would recommend. I want Ball bearing, no price limit. thanks

well fullrace is the way to go... fo sho.... haha if i were you i'd go with a GT3076R spools pretty quick and puts out good power.do some research on it...

 

[unvmy98ls]

what kind of gain would I be looking at?

 

[unvmy98ls]

with compression 9.6.1 would I be able to push 20 lbs

 

[MrGurley]

that turbo is more than effecient at 20lbs. im sure that turbo is good for 500hp or so. heres the link for that turbo.

internal waste gate ....really? 520 hp jesus goin from 160 to 500, I just might be able to take an sti.-quivers- my dream!

 

[MrGurley]

na its external wastegate. haha your car with that on it will kill an sti hands down.... the turbo isnt gonna be the only thing that makes you have all that power. its a combination of it and proper tunning and the correct motor work. not to get you hopes up but check this out.

[MrGurley]

oh yea thats on a b series motor so it would spool quicker on a k motor

 

[unvmy98ls]

who would you recommend for the tuning?

I have an HKS GT3037 Pro S with extrude honed housings on my Eclipse GSX. It is a great turbo! But before you worry about your turbo selection you may want to build your engine to be able to handle that kind of abuse first

 

[unvmy98ls]

I am actually working on the engine right now and while I am doing this I need to research turbos, I am building it straight for abuse, poor car!!!I'm only human damnit!!

 

[MrGurley]

who would you recommend for the tuning?

depends on where you live...i only know of people around here and the guy who is gonna tune my car here is a freaking god when it comes to tuning..

 

[unvmy98ls]

I don't think there are any tuning shops out here for me, nearest one I think is in arizona

 

[MrGurley]

well then your gonna have to do some research and find out on your own who does the best tunning. usually if you ask around at the local meets and what not you can find a few places... then just go to the shops and start asking questions and get to know the shop well

thanks for the input I really appreciate it.
