turbo for a 1.8k-series
Turbo Mini Forums

Good evening guys, I have been trying to get my head around flow maps etc but not having much luck, I am building a 1.8t/vvc hybrid (1.8 turbo bottom end and vvc head). Now I am looking for a turbo which is good for up to 250bhp but at a realitivly low psi not going above 15psi

Does anyone have any suggestions preferably t25 pattern.

I was also wondering if it were possible to do a gt2052 hot side with a gt2560 cold side?

hmmmm,

I reckon a bar of boost with a good head should get the job done??

that means a GT28, or TD04 16G.

careful you dont split the liners....

I know about the liners but pistons will fail before them, I just want to see what it can do on a very small budget. The thing with the gt28 I was thinking it may take a while to spool as it's only a 1.8

they run twin gt28s on RBs, effectively 1.3l per turbo, they are considered the most responsive way to make 600bhp

they are a few a/r options and trims on the gt28s,
they are considered to be quite a small turbo on the honda 1.8s obviously they have the revs to use the turbos though, coming on boost around 5k is no problem they have another 4500rpm left to go hahaha

what will the peak revs be

Fair enough I did not know this, do you know the exact number for if?


Max rpm will be 7k so I don't have to get stand alone ecu to map the vvc

200sx (sr20det) t28 spooled on my 1.4 at 4500 or so k rpm. The toller bearing variant should spool sooner (s15 silvia). The pulsar t28 spooled at 5k. All were perfectly useable, given your increased capacity and head flow youd probably spool one just fine, pulsar turbos are fairly cheap and easy come by.

turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

They run the GT28 on R5s and they seem to spool fine too.

1/4mile in 13.2sec @ 111 terminal on 15psi

Cheers guys, will keep an eye out for them.

also theres probably a few gt25's from focus RS's about, that could be ok.

GT2560R, it will spool up quickly lower in the rev range, you will need more than 15psi, but more driveable in the real world than something that doesn't spin up till 5k rpm.
