Thread: Best turbo to use on a standard SR20VE engine.

350-400hp

which can be done on a stock manifold and a t2 turbo. Also can be done with only 15psi. if your going to have a custom manifold made you might as well go t3. If you are using the stock manifold the t2 gt3071r will make the power you are looking for. here is a dyno from my car. corrected it made 398whp and 285lbft. this is 15psi with a t2 3071r. I know others who have had similar results.

Interesting, was that on a standard or built sr20ve?

P.s i am about to purchase (used as) gt3040 with dp tubular manifold, wastegate kit. Also a Hks front mounted intercooler.

its a fully built motor.

I have made up my mind now. But the poll is getting very interesting now. Looking a peoples options. Maybe the next question i should ask is why. A big spilt on a bigger turbo from the smaller one.
I think the bigger t3 option is better as although starting off as a standard sr20ve, it will most probably get built in the future.
Thanks again guys.

Comp Turbo - CT2 5858 Billet

Journal bearing with billet wheel and largest A/R possible. Call and ask em for a price, guarantee its cheaper than Precision and quality is equal or greater.

You can even get it with a T2 flange, internally gated, and .82 A/R

U can buy T3 turbine housings for the 2860RS and 71R

Thanks again for the input, but my turbo kit is now being delivered...

The turbo can also be known as... Gt3082r (gt30/gt40r)/ Gt3040r

Why would this even be considered an option on a VE?? VEs like to breathe and restricting it with BOTH an internal gate AND a T2 backhalf is going in the wrong direction........ESPECIALLY if you are running a non tubular (or equal length) manifold
