turbo help

[ktyr5151]

alright so im planning on turboing an ls and i have everything to do so besides a turbo and an intercooler. i wanna have a more top end so a bigger turbo would be nessarry? so i guess i just need some help with the turbo i want. im open for any suggestions. motor is stock. 450 injectors. wanna run 9lbs boost.

Whats your power goals? The 450's will be your limiting factor

uhmmm like 300hp. and yes i know i was going to get 770s down the road.

Might as well get the larger injectors now, you'll be maxxing those 450's out at the 300whp mark, hell most likely youll fall a little short of your goal. Its either buy 2 sets of injectors, or buy 1 set and save money in the end.

alright. ill do that. any recommendations on a turbo? i need quality but a cheap price

 

[DaddyBuiltRacing]

Whats your budget? My idea of cheap and yours might be 2 different things lol

Why do you want more top end? What's the car gonna be used for? Street, drag, circuit?
In most aplications you would want a smaller turbo that spools quick.

well i want like a 56 trim turbo. well it all depends on the budget part. i want something cheap but reliable. probably like 200-350 possibly more depending on what it is.
