Thread: Turbo's...Turbo's... Turbo's...

Are we debating compression ratios now?

I don't know where to jump in.

LOL @ Ben!!

Hmmmm, I will stick with Ben on this one and wait for you to gather your thoughts and post a proper topic instead of answering multiple off topic questions

All I got to say is the higher compression tuning issue has been figured out ages ago..........

Nawww man, i'm not debating compression ratio's just was answering Boostlee question on what CR I was using....

@ Boostlee, I agree but considering this would be my first time tuning my setup I figured it would be easier to nail the stockish CR versus a CR that was a bit more higher then Stock S13 SR20DET.

Threads like these make me laugh.

I want 500-600hp with a log Mani and my first time tuning and since when do machine shops know a lot about tuning.

That turbo you said will be close to your target goal but wouldn't expect it to be there without 30psi or so

@ Morgan thanks for the recommendation..

I was merely noting what my current setup consisted off, not that I planned on making 500-600 with a log mani!

I really appreciate for those that are steering me in the right direction...

If u search, atleast ten threads full of pages that answer every single question in your very first post.

So what would be a good turbo that can suit my current DET head as well as the VE head that I plan on using later down the line?

I know 6262 are common choices and also come in twin scroll, what about a 5857?

62 or bigger, go big or go home, a few people are using sc61 and gt30-gt35 with lovely results, that ve head is a must,

my build
ve head/ de block
arp hardware
acl bearings
sc61 on a log for now and a custom mani that im currently working on
vet hg
vet pistons
eagle rods
1000cc injectors{hopefully}
nemu
