will have a look.  What are the limits of an unported engine with turbo size before it becomes too lagy?

Craig N

thanks for that its a big help.  What im looking for is a turbo that can run on a unported engine will run at about a bar and produce 350 - 400 bhpatw.  What im finding is that people are speking a smaller turbo and saying to run at 20-25 psi but i dont wanna run this high.  

so on that note what is the suitability of bbt04e 57 trim with a 1.0 turbine a/r.

can anyone give the single spec that they are running with a unported engine for some comparisions.

will keep researching thanks for the pics and explanation starting to make sense now!

Im getting so confused with the choices and now im not gettinjg any nearer as most companies come up with something that all the people in the know on here say is too small or to big for a unported engine!!

i have had the car in being sorted for a single conversion but have been deciding on a turbo I have been down to a so called reputable turbo supplier and he has come up with the following.  Im looking for it to go onto a unported engine and would like to make 350 - 380 bhp once complete.  ny comments would be much appreciated
T3/T4 T04E TURBOCHARGER STAGE III WHEEL
.63 A/R COLD
.58 5 BOLT STANDARD HOT SIDE
3"INLET DIAMENTER
2"OUTLET
.57 COMPRESSOR WHEEL TRIM
.60 A/R COMPRESSOR
.63 A/R TURBINE
57 TRIM


when i reseached into it (limited knowledge on turbos ) I thoughts that something like bbt04e 57 trim with a 1.0 turbine a/r.

someone help so i can get the order in and drive it fast!!

cheers

im looking to prduce somewhere between 350 nd 400 bhp.  Budget is not a massive issue but i have gone down the route of importing a largeish turbo for a se20det engine from amercia.  I killed the first hks item (that was over 1000) and found a new replacement imported it over and was running 1.6 bar for over 2 years without any probs from turbo.  
this has sort of made up my mind to find a suitable turbo for the rex to make the above power figures (have maifold, injectors and intercooler/rad is being made up now oh and fuel pump).  Just the tubby to go.  Hate paying rip off prices over here when i spend time over there and the same items can be sourced for usualy half the cost.  Thats the main reason why.  
so im looking for a suitable turbo that can produce the above figures witho out too much lag but realy not sure whn im given the tech spek by the dealer hence the posts on here.

cheers for the advice just what i need to kow....... what do u think to the above ?  is a precision turbo that is new and warrented for 12 months!  cheers

thanks for your comments. will leave this one alone too.  the guy i have been dealing with is a regisitered dealer and has offered a realy good deal on new hks and greedy items but they all are too big for what i want.  trying to get a turbo that suits unported engine.  guna give up soon and buy one over here.  just anoys me that over her they are 400 quid more!

know nothing about tubros when they are are described buy the size in this format but will take on board the options you hae given me.  Last one i found was aparently too lagy but migh be ok for the drag lot! just gota find one inbetween now

cheers
