Best turbo for the 3sgte, not the 5sfe. - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #9341 9 posts Started by XXX_Mina
OKay, i wanna know how much a turbo upgrade for my 3sgte will cost.... what turbos should i get , etc..... i already have the standalone to support it, and iam upgrading my internals soon, and would like to upgrade the turbo while my engne is in pieces.

Fensport likes the Garrett GT28.

the T03 or T03/T04 hyprid is the most famous, but i dont know what it is , what kindave spool up or performance it provides.

T-67, my mechanic has this turbo on his car pusing 540HP, but he uses Nitrous to spool it....

Other: what other turbos are there.
To really answer that question you have to know how much power you want to make and roughly at what rpm. Then you need compressor maps for all the turbos you're interested in. You have to make sure you're in the correct portion of the compressor map for all possible points of operation of the engine. I suggest you read Maximum Boost by Corky Bell. It will answer many of your questions on this topic.
okay, so ill tell my mechanic wuzup and have him pick one.....ill probably go with the gerett gt28 or gt30 like fensport did.

Iam just mad that iam here, i should be looking in the suspension forum looking into new brakes or the extrior forum looking into gt-4 hood and bumber, maybe even a wide body kit.... i still have stock brakes, the car is still teal, and i still have 3 dents in the bitch...

the thing is, that i overboosted and cracked a piston.... so iam gonna get forged pistons, and build up the engine to a point thats beyond the stock turbo... and the labor for turbo upgrade is 0 if i get it done with the pistons.

No...Mina wants to pay people to do the work for him. Not to mention he is extremely power hungry without thinking of the consequences...that is why his internals are crapping out on him. HAHAHAHA! Crap...well, atleast your crapped out motor would spank my crapped out motor. LoL.
