Turbo question

RazorMX-3 · Post by **RazorMX-3** » January 1st, 2006, 4:59 pm

I want to use a T3 turbo in my setup. I want a high reving engine (8000rpm) and want to use a turbo which does'n't get out of breath before that. So what trubine housing and trim should I use??? Looking for power around 180-200HP.

give details like what engine are you wanting to use, how much boost, how much HP you want like at the wheels the more details the better

I have a BP, goes up to 7400, running 212whp using a VF10/vj20 Hybrid @12psi running RICH. What yr car and engine you running?

I have a B6 DOHC. I'd like to start of running with around 9psi, maybe in the future up to around 15psi. I'd like to got to around 180 hp at the wheels. Parts for engine rebuilding are already ordered. Going to balance everything so I can reach the 8000rpm without reliabilty issues, and I want to have a turbo which doesn't get short og breath around 6500-7000 rpm.

Bugs: That vj20 turbo you're using, would it bolt onto a stock B6t exhaust manifold???

A variation of a t3/t4 hybrid would suit you nicely.

No, way too big for what he wants. I would probably go with a T3 with a 50 Trim at the most (Still probably too big). They support up to around 250whp in most applications. So for the 1.6, 200 would be pretty easy. But I would still say just ditch the B6 and swap a BP. Search for author named "Josh" then read up on his B6 setup. With my BP only running around 140whp it was dead even with his BUILT B6 turbo engine.

But that's the problem. Here in the Netherlands the BP is very rare. Almost no mazda was sold here with that engine. I looked into shipping one from the US, but shipping cost are so high that it is not doable for me.
But thanks anyway.

Hmm, look for a 323 GTX or GTR and steal that engine out of a wrecked car. I know a Couple ppl in the Netherlands with 323's, and they said that they had a couple in junkyards they were stealing parts from, That was more than a year ago and both guys have since moved on to different cars.

Also to reach 8000rpm's balancing will not help you that much because you're still gonna float the valves... you might wanna look at getting stiffer springs and/or titanium retainers and switching to solid lifters.

yea you should just go BPT. why do you want to rev your engine to 8000, when you can easily and safely make 180hp with the bpt @ 6000?

how much money do you have to spend on a turbo?

A 14 b would get you to 180 hp.
Might as well go with a 16 g though.
