turbo progress

[[ion] C2]

If I had $650 I'd get spyhunter's GT3076R.

not to be arragant but i think comparing this turbo to say a garret is no different than say a honda to a chevy.... mixed opinions, one may be beter than the other in some cases others not,. all in how you treat it. since ion told me to do some research i spent time looking at the two online and varies other names and escept for minor things the main difference is origin of make and brand name... so like anything else moreless its popularity and manufacture name.... and how you treat it....

(not being a smat ass by researching it ion i just got curious about the differences of the two) lol

I'm not so thrilled with the turbo, but it's not my car, so good luck with it. Why did you get such a small intercooler? It's too tall. There's only going to be air flowing over the bottom 6" of the core. You should've got something shorter and wider.

Then a no-name turbo that has been rebuilt by Blaast Performance with garret internals, it's a T3/T04E .57 trim with .50AR and .63 exhaust
looking for $150

Ion, sell yours get one of these! Good prices for good turbos

Um, I'm not...

My Alero has the 2.4 and it's been turbo'd for almost 4 years.

While it's always cool to get free parts, you're better off selling that intercooler and getting one that will be more effective.

i dont think it will fit anywhere anyways lol.... however surface area to air is not as a big of deal as it may seem... now if none of the surface is showing thats not good, but if you have half or more hitting moving air the difference between a fully exposed cooler surface and partially exposed is not that noticabley different unless your trying to get the maximum everything and run strictly as a performer stand point...

but yeah i dont think its gunna even fit so using it to sell for another was already posibly in the plan lol

[Spilner521]

The surface area exposed to oncoming air is more of a big deal than you think. The part that isn't exposed isn't cooling the charge. If you have half the face showing on an already small intercooler, you effectively cut that intercooler in half, which makes it tiny. You'll want something that fills the bumper and exposes the whole core to oncoming air.

I don't know who you've been talking to...

get an intercooler from a MK3 Supra, they are proven to be some of the best OEM intercoolers ever made.

[Bad99Olds]

or just buy one that fits. whatever floats your boat.

[xXManwhoreXx]

and as he said above you can compare chevy to honda, my CRX Si would toast the majority of the stock v8's

thats the plan. lol. this one will work i just went out and place fitted it and the amount of cubic inches exposed is barely less than the 22x5.5x2.5 one...due to amount that actually is exposed due to its thickness and width....however the longer one would look better probably but this one if i decide to use it the effectiveness will be darn close... this is backed up by measurements and math lol
