Turbo for 4agte

[Charged1]

Hi I had my car converted to turbo about six months back and was running a Hitachi ht-18 turbo untill it blew its guts , should I stick to this make , or is there a better option out there , the car did ran very well with this set up while it lasted.

Get a Garret GT25R you'll love it

[EVLGTZ]

what type of power were you making at what boost levels?

Generally those turbo's aren't too bad and are pretty cheap and easy to find but its all up to what you want out of it as to what turbo you should go with.

HT18's are pretty good and definitly had no complaints while running one on my car - have since upgraded. Full boost by 3800rpm ish although depends on which exhaust housing is used. Very strong turbos. I'd get one rebuilt possibly with a 360 thrust kit and you'll be set.

is the turbo your talking about from an rx s4?
cos i've put one together using a t3 exhaust housing from a r32, but still using the standard exhaust wheel which is damn huge. i just don't want it to lagy!
it's going to put on my ae101 4agze?
what do you reckon? or should i go for something else?

I can't remember what series it was from but it was a HT18-2s if that helps. Yes the exhaust wheel is huge. From memory I used a milled out RB20 housing. I'd go with a HT18 or a TD05h.

yeh those turbos work well.. i ranone on my levin up to 20psi and it did the job well with minimal lag.

how does the 360 degree thrust bearing kit make a turbo better?

run higer boost for longer without the thrust dieing

It was running at 10psi never got round to getting the hp measured , wheres a good place on the shore to have this done , once I get it sorted out , thanks

[EVLGTZ]

hey charged1 have not seen ya round the shore.

Best bet is to goto one of the first of the month dyno days at Torque Performance in avondale.

If ya gotta go somewhere on the shore then try shoreperformance but readings from that dyno are only really comparable with others from there. Most seem to goto TP so makes sence to go there and only $50 to do the power run too.

Have you put it down the strip yet?

[evil_si]

yea its a series 4 turbo with a machined out t3 exhaust housing,

try alltech turbos in glenfield

or daniel at turbo 777 in penrose

that turbo combination onlys just starts to feel good at 10psi- 15-18psi is where the fun is with that setup

[Stu-]

I'd agree with that. Ran 15-18 on mine a couple of times and shat a brand new clutch setup pretty easily. Would have loved to have had more fun with that combo but upgraded at the same time as fitting the clutch/lsd.

[ants_ae92]

How does the td05 go on your levin evlgtz? What sort of rpm range does that come on full boost? Just interested to see what kind of range the turbo works in on your 4age.

[EVLGTZ]

It goes alright eh.

RPM levels for full boost dependent on load and gear of course but its pretty useable but not silly coming on boost all the time.

And like the HT18s, its pretty avg on only 10psi. Usually have it at 1 bar minimum and more when required.

[suberimakuri]

yeap, 1 bar mate on t3/4 combo.

Stu, better watch out now with that tune boy. Not sure what it'll do under higher boost yet. Good be like the rest of mine and 12:1 flat.

[flygt4]

haha damn you people and your high comp gze pistons... having the low comp ones means im going to have to stupid amounts of boost to get my full potential.

[CozmoNz]

"looks at bazda..."

Nah... i think youll be right... he seemed to do pretty well

[suberimakuri]

smallport high comp mate.... wait and see, second time with t3/4 on this combo. First one was awesome.

[crnkin]

hot damn i cant wait to see that dyno- 190kw???? ish?
