it all really depends on how much you want to spend, and not just on the turbo but all the supporting mods too.

250bhp you need a very small frame turbo, any k04-001, k04-022/023 or hybrid k03 will be fine... I was anticipating true madness from the title of the thread.

T62R madness...  :evil:

Most of my relatives run GTX35 at ~2bars making a streetable 7-800bhp so I was expecting double that  :undecided:

That's not anyone I know, was a customers car at my mates garage, no one I know personally runs t62r...
You can pick up a k04-022/023 on eBay - used if course, just make sure it's genuine. Personally if you're going for 250 I would just get a hybrid k03, I recommend beach buggy turbos. It will require light bolt on mods and mapping but it's less parts that need changing compared to if you went k04-022/023

Sure someone has posted a list before. Every engine is different and just because one engine makes 250 bhp another might make more or less with the same mods. Better to focus on how it drives, but the usual mods are things like decat, downpipe, catback exhaust, turbo intake pipe, uprated fuel pump, front mount intercooler etc etc

@gtimadmike that's just turbo, doesn't include oil line, water lines, turbo manifold, fuel injectors, engine rebuild, intake pipe, downpipe, larger MAF housing, intercooler and other supporting mods. Budget ~£600-1000 for the turbo manifold alone, £~400 for the fuel injector alone etc etc...
For your needs and budget, you might be able to pick up a used hybrid k03 for £500-600

The standard 1.8t engine will not be able to cope with 500bhp, this is why I suggest a hybrid k03 if all you want is ~250bhp and it will still be reliable provided it's maintained and mapped nicely.

I eventually will be wanting to go 500hp lol but I think 250 will be quite sufficient for now, cheers :-)

that looks great what power should that make  :smiley:
Title: Re: big turbo
Post by: rockmonkey69 on 03 November 2014, 23:11
Thanks! I'm probably going to do something to tidy up the compressor housing, probably polish it up. It's going to run fairly moderate boost so won't be shooting for big power, the car barely weighs over 1 ton anyway, I would like for it to be around 400bhp. I can achieve similar figures on a smaller frame turbo but I'm getting rather annoyed of how hot small turbos run when sustaining prolonged WOT. This setup should be perfect for track work.

It's a gt3071r, got it with the uprated bearing cage. Manifold will be custom made, with the turbo top mounted for easier access, the whole setup on v-bands to aid in servicing.
