dive_popo Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Hi, I decided go Single, and as I'm a pretty new in the turbocharger world, I wanted to know what turbo do you recommend for street use, It only has to be: -twin scroll -T4 -good quality/price (and branded, dont wan't a ebay/chinese thing... or something for 3000 pounds) -quick response (3400rpm to 4000rpm max!) -between 500 and 600 HP (and not at very high boost) I'll have the tubular manifold hand made by a good friend of mine, and it would be made to fit the Turbo, so I believe a lot of options on turbocharger choice Thanks ! Peter P.S: If somebody has a used turbo I could use, at a good price please make me an offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Borg Warner Batmowheel do some resonable priced turbos.... maybe the BWS366 batmowheel is what your after? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Agree, you should have plenty of options. I'm still running a T61DBB which is a perfect turbo for street use - not quite sure how one can improve the spool compared to these. Not to mention, mines going strong even after 36K miles of use.... Certainly makes sense to look at newer technology turbos though provided they have proven reliability. imi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Precision 6262, 6265 - or GTX35R Batmowheel and BorgWarner all offer the turbos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dive_popo Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Thanks guys will have a look on these So i'm guesssing the new tech turbos should spool faster ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 i can see why these threads pop up often because to the mortal man the turbo numbers means nothing until you have a good read up on turbos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 If I were you I'd be speaking with Whifbitz regarding this... http://whifbitzperformancetuning.co.uk/toyota-supra-supra-turbo-upgrades-turbo-kits-garage-whifbitz-p-6012.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 i can see why these threads pop up often because to the mortal man the turbo numbers means nothing until you have a good read up on turbos Me 2 a sticky would be good just to compare sizes between manufacturers. Iv got a garret gr35t which I know is a t61 from reading the site. Although where the 35 comes from i dont know. Where the borg warners and things fit in I don't know ether!

sideexitsupra Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 As already suggested, take a look at Whifbitz. Paul has complete kits with everything you need including a proven manifold. You know all the stuff will work together and you will get access to all the experience of one of the best tuners out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Garrett GTX35R would be my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is that a friend of mine is working with exhausts, so he will be making my manifold, intake and exhaust and I'll get these almost for free And with what I'll spend I want to complete my fuel system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dive_popo Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Garrett GTX35R would be my choice. thanks Nic I guess I'll go this way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 You said you had 3000 pounds for a turbo? just save a tad more and buy a whiffbitz turbo kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Garrett GTX/GT35 is good Maybe go look at the ECU Register for turbos/results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 my 35r is great. fast spool and a nice step up from bpu. 520 bhp on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I'm with Rob on this. Hold fire, save some more and get a complete Whifbitz kit. Saves piecing the kit together with possible additional costs around compatibility etc.. If you buy a new kit it has warranty and is all built to work together, you also have someone in the UK for warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Thanks I know If I had a bigger budget I would jump on it immediately ! The thing is that a friend of mine is working with exhausts, so he will be making my manifold, intake and exhaust and I'll get these almost for free Another option - and what I would do - would be to buy a cast manifold and get your friend to fabricate the downpipe and intercooler piping to fit. A cast manifold would be perfect for your performance goals and would make a very responsive and reliable setup when combined with a GT35R/GTX35R. http://www.treadstoneperformance.com/product.phtml?p=325&cat_key=52&prodname=Supra+2JZGTE+Turbo+Manifold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
