What turbo would you recommend

Im thinking of changing my turbo as i don't feel it has enough punch. At the moment im running a sound performance SP61. I would like to be able to run between 600-800 bhp, but would like it to be as fast spooling as possible. Iv heard a few people rate the hks t51r's but what do you think is best for me?

Well mate, the T51R (Kai or SPL) will certainly take you in to the 600+BHP league with the relevant supporting mods.

You may want to subscribe to JamieP's and Jay's threads (Jevansio) to see the variety of turbos that the two of them have considered this year.

what size cams do you have?

He'll probably need 264's to get the best out of the bigger tubby.

my thaughts exactly,

i think you really need to decide on driveability and where you want the power as your 200bhp tolerance is rather wide , a T67DBB sized turbo would get you well into the lower end of your quoted power figure and still maintain a good compromise of power and lag, at the 800bhp end of your figure, lots of things will need uprating and lots of things will have the potential to break , the inevitable increase in lag coupled with the clutch to hold that power may well make the car less than pleasant to drive, the decision is yours

my thaughts exactly,

Same wavelength - spooky:d

Im also in this situation. Im still seq twin turbo and looking for my first single turbo kit.

Im looking at the HKS TO4Z or for a bit more punch the HKS 62r. Also watching Jamie P's results with his new tubby. Uuummm so many to choose from.

As Paul Mac said.

Lots of difference between 600 and 800 bhp, for 600bhp id go with a billet 6262 or 6765, for 800 id look towards the 74mm turbos, i hear there is some new turbos coming out very soon that are air cooled dbb and are supposed to spool even quicker, id wait for some testing to be done on them first though.

Mate the HKS 62R is a HUGE turbo, mega laggy and capable of 1100+bhp:d

Always got to have a bit in reserve Jamie .

Maybe a bit big for me then. I think I read it on HKS website and it said it my replace the ageing 51 kai but never mentioned any power figures.

Whats the full spec of your current setup?

my engine spec is exactly what is in my garage. I have plans on changing the complete fuel system, ecu, and the turbo at the same time. I would still like it to be easily driveable, and reliable so would try and settle for just over the 600bhp mark.

Get the t51, sounds amazing!

hks to4z would be my choice

lol.. yes the HKS T62 is rated to 1200hp. Its the turbo that sumo power run on fujin. I think just a tad too big for what you want.

I would say HKS T04Z at the moment, but definitely hold out till till the new billet wheel turbos have seen some action.

Jamie will be pushing one to its limits fairly soon.

Hurry up and get that fitted, i need to make up my mind on which turbo i order

Im on it, if only the thing would fit properly.

The customer is a bit of a pain too, keeps asking for more stuff to be done. He is very demanding you know.

Is there any plans to produce a larger turbo using the new billet wheels say a 71mm;)

Sorry:D

There is lots of different size billet wheel turbos mate, up to 76mm i think.

Just a little more punch from the t62r

My 76 DBB Billet was making good boost at 3600 rpm and made high 500's at 1.2 bar and only 6700 rpm, it was only just getting going and had we been able to rev it to 8500 ++ it would have made loads of power. This turbo is supposed to be good for over 1100 hp too and does not feel laggy at all, prob similar to my old 71.

Those numbers are very impressive, from such a compact unit.
