Done..
Car has Full Race Twinscroll GT30R. Go to Ka-t.org, his setup is on there somewhere.

negative, $599 for RSenthalpy rom tune.. My buddies running 15 psi (348whp) on their tune, on a stock block with a t3/t04e.
Full race is nice, but he said he wants to stay under 300hp not race bikes on the highway.
Get a JGS log manifold
garret t3/t04e
38mm waste gate
decent BOV
CXracing sr20 fmic kit(fits better than ka-t)
cxracing rb/ka radiator
nismo/sard/hks 550cc injectors
see rsenthalpy about a tune
then tada, 300hp and no spool issues of the gt30r..
If you wanna stay under 300hp then:
S15 gt28 or gt2871r
isis v2 ka mani
and everything else he^^ said
That t3/to4e would be laggy as hell. The dude who i just posted hasnt had a single issue with his setup yet, i think. Full boost at around 3500rpm, i think, maybe less

A s15 t28 gets full boost 400 rpms below that, and makes less power on the same boost level.
T3/t04e for me, thanks.
Not to mention, you can get a .48/.50 t3/t04e that will spool before a t28.
From what i understand the T28 will outlive the t3/t04e. as for max power i dunno....
i could be wrong but as it stands i'll run anything that i know i can get tuned correctly vs's half ass'd methods..
whats the fastest spooling turbo generally for our cars btw?
thats not meant for 500 + horse obviously.
right now i will have 4k .. and another 5 to 10k to drop in later.. i'm thinking do a full blown nice turbo set-up running low boost, then when i get the rest of my cash from this crash claim i'm in, i'll do a full blown race set-up.
sr's a tight motor.. light and fast, but ka's are strong also, and mine has been baby'd.
i spoke with a couple peeps near my area willing to help, unfortunately wife and stuff came up, so hopefully next weekend i'll be out to see there bad ass rides and think where to go from there..

nice set-up.. buuuut i rather pay more for something better then anything cx racing..
i'm sure i can do without and keep it under 4k.

I havent seen a t3/t04e spool quicker than a t28 before.
There are many ppl running cxracing intercoolers and rads. Theres nothing wrong with them for the power your trying to achieve.
Go on Ka-t.org and ask ppl there. They are a lot more helpful and know a lot more.
a t28 pushing enough boost to make 300hp, will not outlive a t3/t04e running less boost to make the same amount of power, period.
As far as the FMIC and radiator, there are tons of people running them making 400+hp reliably on their parts. Why pay for a name, when the cheaper parts have been proven to work? Seems almost moronic to me.
My buddy is making 350whp on a s14 ka-t, CXr intercooler/radiator, 15psi and 19psi for the highway fun. Hes running a t3/t04e with stock wheels, if you plan to go past 300hp your going to hate the fact that you went with a t2 setup.
Because
A) you can go with a gt30r w/t2 bottom mount, but you will spool later than a t3/t04e.
Or B) you can start all over again and build a top mount setup and waste more money.
Only one thing seems logical for me, and thats to start with a decent t3 top mount manifold and go from there. That way if you plan to go for more power, its only going to cost you a turbo and maybe injectors.
my .02 atleast.
Your on other forums, asking how to do a compression test.. But your going to try and give turbo advice here? :laugh:

I didnt plan on using my motor in the first place so i didnt worry about the compression. I dont know if you know but my motor has 190k. Anyone would think the motor would have to be rebuilt but mine has good compression.
Ive done my time researching ka's for the most part.
At first i was going to run a 60trim garrett to4e w/peakboost mani on a bottom end built motor but my plans have changed and im going to just use this motor.
If your trying to call me a noob, then how come you are saying about the same shit i was saying?
Back to the subject.
Why not get a GT2871r then if he wants more power later on?

Because a 2871r is ballbearing on non-rebuildable. Not to mention it only maxes out like 30-40hp over what a t28 does, a GTi-R would be better than a 2871.
But a Gt3071r would be better than both, but again spool later than a smaller 50-trim.

2nd site shows differences in t28 turbos accel vs top end.
the first site gives me a good info on turbos.. hope i don't get in trouble for posting it.

thank you for your input, it's clears a lot of crap up that i wondered but created other questions....
from your statements the faster spooling turbo to get is the t3/t04e vs the t28.. it clearly shows that i can get more horse from the website listed..
im just looking for the best (quickest spool time) turbo i can find that isn't monster hp.. i will rebuild my engine down the road but are you suggesting that i run a low psi t3/t04e then boost it up when i rebuild or...
"Only one thing seems logical for me, and thats to start with a decent t3 top mount manifold and go from there. That way if you plan to go for more power, its only going to cost you a turbo and maybe injectors."
if i go with a top mount manifold.. what turbo set-ups should i be looking for?
i know the smaller house .36 or .64 gives me better accel vs top end but how should i approach my power goals you think. ( i looking for better accel not top end)
should i have 1 turbo now.. then rebuild engine and slap a better one on or just do the t3/t04e and increase the psi after rebuild?
i haven't looked into the benefits of a top mount vs a bottom mount.. my buddy says top mount all day.. easier to change turbos and easier to get to crap cause things will break down the road and it's a convenience factor..
im sorry i bashed on cxracing, i just been going on internet reviews and i do read people saying that some parts are straight while other parts are garbage, i just generally hear bad things from them and it's mainly about the turbo's and mani's blowing up not much else.
i rather just buy the top quality crap now and not have to upgrade later, know what i mean... if then money becomes an issue, then i'll prolly have to stick with the non name brand like you said..

Your buddy is right, t3 top mount is the way to go. Its easy to upgrade turbos, because there is alot more choices in t3 w/ 5bolt down pipe(like a t3/t04e.)
I think you should either look into the ,48/.50 or .63/.50 t3/t04e. If you decide its not enough power, then you can easily upgrade.
Or if you wanted to, you could start off with a gt3071r on low boost. And if you rebuilt and wanted to go bigger, just turn the knob up.
And yes, CXr turbos and manifolds suck. But their FMIC and radiators are awesome, I have both in my car right now.

dam you know your sh*t. thanks man.
i dunno if i mentioned but i have a koyo rad already... and like full blown spl suspension and.... yeah like A LOT of crap in this car.. 12k worth of crap... 12k and no turbo, and no internal work on the engine done. now that means i replaced just about everything else.. i got a walbro fuel pump z32 brake set-up and 5 lug wheels all around. z32 fuel filter, short shifter.... uhm energy suspension bushing being installed with kts coilovers from spl soon, i'm pretty much all decked out on the car cept internal engine and no turbo to move my car. the list of crap i got for the car is a few pages and i rather not say due to south florida theif's all up in our shitz... but then again i got like 5 counter measures for my car being stolen so, anywho, with that being said.. i pretty much bought the best i could find for my car with out going all out ... which unfortunately i did with my suspension... so i would like to continue with my engine.
everyone said.. f turbo, get suspension.. well now i can't buy a dam thing left for my suspension, and now i'm ready for a solid turbo set-up.
i'mma pm you about a couple things. btw thanks for the help and everyone else to, thanks for the suggestions. it's hard to find the best set-up and i'm learning it's something you just gotta make up on your own and do it yourself.
i'm hoping to meet some people with ka-t's so i have more of an idea what i want myself.
yo ithajokai clear some pm's so you can have space to receive.
