talk to me about turbos


Recommended Posts

The VR is coming off the road after westside and hopefully into the unit where we can make a start on the bay. Nothing OTT just a general clean up.

So in the mean time I want to start collecting parts to go turbo.

after thinking about I for a while and talking to a few people I want to see a comfortable 350bhp. They said standard VR internals are good for 450bhp....?

A few people have recommended the t3/t4 hybrid and others have said go TD05.

I dont know alot about turbos tbh so I need you guys (and gals) to teach me

Thanks in advance

Yea you can keep standard internals, but fit a metal layer gasket and space plate to lower compression. Turbo choice is mainly down to you and the power/delivery you want. Gt35 is best suited to a vr, but go smaller an you'll have quicker spool but lower top end boost as it will choke.

A GT35R did this to a standard rod...

Stock rods will take up to ~500lbft of torque before they start to bend, the one in the picture is from an engine that made in excess of ~550lbft.

My advice to you on turbo choice is if you use a T3 turbine housing(T3/T4), use either a 0.82 or 1.06 AR turbine housing. My personal preference is the 1.06.

The GT35R (with a 0.82 or 1.06 turbine housing) is pretty well matched to the 12v, its a good compromise between spool and top end choke.
