Turbo Ratio sizing?
Turbo Ratio sizing?
Sup Guys...<P> This post is for peeps that know their Turbos. I'm still getting my feet wet with the idea of putting on a turbo to my mx-3...I would like to do it after the KLZE...I know there isn't much room left in the engine bay. And since the KLZE can handle around 8 to 10 PSI...so buying a T3/T4 Hybrid wouldn't do squat more than VJ...But what other small Turbos exist that use 5-8 PSI...nothing major, but I like the sound off a blow off valve. Cause with a bit of custom work and a small turbo- a decent system could run $1500-max! I'm looking just to add 40-65Hp on top of the KLZE with a nitrous shot...run over 300...And That's plenty. and in the mid 13's. <P>JCali

The ones around here are only $50. If you cant find one cheaper let me know and I'll get you one. Peace

Re: Turbo Ratio sizing?
Go buy "Maximum Boost" by Corky Bell for all the info on sizing.<P>Just so you know, 8psi on a VJ11 is different than on a T66, T88, T4, T3/T4, T25, T28, 16G, etc.
