just did some reaserch and the gt17 at 4 psi will have a choke line at around 150 fly wheel hp, i wouldnt even recomend this turbo for a 1 litre 3 cyl charad,
just trying to help you out as u may get through this and make less power then when u started if u put a turbo like this on. and it costs a bit to change turbos down the track

To be honest if you cant afford to t/charge your car properly then dont start because you'll probably find yourself trying to cut a lot of corners along the way and end up damaging something. Save a bit then do it.
Everything FNTSY said is true...just because you might be able to get away with something for a time...ie. running no intercooler doesnt mean its a good thing. You would have to retard timing so much that you would lose power and even so it will have a much shorter life span.
My car only sees stoich at idle after that its in 13z till boost then 11s on boost. Timing retards to -5 at some points but advanced a couple degrees pre-boost. Thats at 5psi.

TD04L is a small turbo off the rex...from memory.jonowong wrote:im going to be back soon, im going to relocate that f**king battery only cost $200 anyway...
now i need your opinions, should i get a T25H or a T28 or a TD04L?
what are your opinions on these turbos and why?
thanks a lot lads, happy new year
personally would'nt have the T25h as you can get a T28 cheaper and holds boost better and can take more boost generally from what I have been told.
the t25 will spool faster and is probbaly just fine for your applciation as low boost...

ok fukn hell.. just a quick question.
how much would EVERYTHING cost all together including a turbo?
i know u'd have to get a new clutch, and no doubt a new gearbox(please confirm)
would have to upgrade to 4pot calipers, new ecu, so including all that, wats the price you'd be lookin at, just curious.

hasn't this been discussed a million times? I think the general consensus is anywhere between 8-20 grand depending on who does the work, new and second hand parts, how much power you want to generate etc.sublime19 wrote:ok fukn hell.. just a quick question.

You do not need a new gearbox - brakes I imagine only need upgrading if you are running it off high boost - but would probably be advisable either way.
