hi guys

i'm thinking of switching from S/C to a turbo set up.

i already have a novi 1000 set up with :
AEM V 2
550 RC injectors
255 fuel pump
front intercooler
tial bov

i wanna switch to a turbo set up, and make around 400HP or a little bit more to drive everyday.

what do i need and what are the best brands ?

i was thinking

a turbo ( don't know what brand or size ? )
a turbo manifold
down pipe
ID 1000 injectors

what els do you guys think i'd need ??

thanks !

 

If that's all the power your looking for this will probably be ok. If you plan to turn it up much I think a biger fuel pump may be in order.

550cc injectors are kind of small

 

depending on type of manifold and turbo you'll probably need a wastegate as well. 3bar map sensor if you plan on boosting more than 10psi and bigger injectors for sure, not to mention a retune.

 

Why dont you just get the proper size pulley and injectors and get 400whp with your current comptech ? />

 

I think I already have a 4 bar map sensor and of course I'm going for bigger injectors, and I'm getting a tail wastegate too.

What's the best turbo for this kinda power?

And what's the power limit for the 255 fuel pumper?

 

Oh and do I have to relocate anything ?
Like the battery or the AC liens?
I'm planning on getting the long manifold that will take the turbo a little to the front !

 

If you want around 400hp maybe a gt30 or If you want to have more power in the future maybe a gt35 or a borg s362. You don't have to relocate anything but it is suggested that you turn your fuse box or make some sort of heat shielding.

 

I think its pretty ridiculous to take a already paid for and installed supercharger set up that is capable of reaching your 400whp goal for just a few hundred more bucks, then completely ditching it and starting from scratch with a turbo which is going to cost you what 6-7 grand plus hassle and time? All for what, a little bit more trq from 4k-7k? Is the cost really worth your net results at this point? If you said hey I want 600whp+ capable then id say ok, well that makes some sense you cant really argue with.

 

Take it easy man lol
I'm not ditching the whole set up !
I'm gonna be using most of the stuff that's on my car, I don't thing it will cost me 7k !
I've seen both superchargers and turbos on the S and I like the response of the turbo more. And I can make more power with the turbo, I'm looking to get 400hp now but might go more later.
