Turbo selection
 

Hey guys, after some major ovehualing, like new forged internals and a aem ecu and all that good stuff i would like to put a much larger turbo on my 7mgte, but i cannot decide which one, First i was gunna go for the to4b but i dont think this will cut it and id rather not modifie the car twice? im looking to get about 720 whp on 92 gas? but i need a turbo that can handle a wet or directport shot of nos, (just incase) the nos is for back up, and mainly just for show, im not a huge fan of it. Not against it, just not crazzy about it. Anyway, i thought about the T72 fron turbonetics (duh) but i dont think it wiill mount without some custome headers and what have you, so id rather just buy a turbo that had equipment already made for it to suport a 7mgte application that can run 700whp plus an ocashional nos shot to take it up to 800-1000whp without some crazzy minimum booste requirements.... any ideas?

First, its nitrous or NO2 lol. I hate it when people call it NOS. NOS is a company. Might as well call is Zex as well. Lol. But theres a turbo that can handle 700hp, not sure if it can hold a big shot of NO2 like that. Its the GT3540R. Have you already built up this engine? What mods do you have/plan on doing?

heh oops
 

sorry no2 it is? well right now not much im pushing about 370hp with mods like , booste controller, turbo timer, match ported the air ways, obviously 12 psi booste, n/a cams, racing chip, all new hosing, referbished head, theres some more but i cant remember its mostly bolt on stuf...., id like to buy a second 7mgte that way i can work on it without suffering downtime on my fav car :-P. i plan to go with a .04 over bore with forged pistons and conecting rods, rebalance crank, 1mm over bore on valves with dueal string titanium retainer set up a carbone composite drive shaft, new tranny (tips on that would be nice too, looking for a tough 5 speed manual). 4 inch downnpipe 100 mm exhaust (titannium) 70-90mm throttle boddy 1000cc injectors, 255lph fuelpump, new oil pump haha, a top of the line booste controller, nos no2 system, wow these so much, thats all i can think of for now. over the next year as ive said id like to get the new engine and the parts togeather theres more style stuff that i didnt list... i also have a 1995 ford explorer and a new 2006 honda element exlp, but the supra is by far the favorite. After driving it everything else is like driving a stick of butter over a hot frying pan.

i don't mean to sound rude, but that's alot of money to be throwing at your car at such a young age. are your parents cool with that?

if you want to push 700+rwhp just go to www.7mpower.com and do exactly what the top guy did to his car. good luck, be safe, and have fun.

You'll need way more fuel than a 255lph fuelpump can provide, and you'll need a bigger turbo than a GT3540. You'll also need about $20 grand. Is this a street car or a strictly drag car? Any thing over 600whp your going to need slicks... Build it up to 500whp, thats more than enough to wrap it around something. 1000whp... Why?

I'm 18 and I'm about to build up an engine with about 550-600HP. My parents are very supportive about it. They just arent giving me any money. My dad actually wants to try to drive it when its done. I added everything up from the places I can find everything and it was just a little shy of $14k. It'll be a good learning experience. But on another note, I do feel that you won't be able to handle that kind of power. I don't think I will either, thats why when it's done, I'll be turning the psi up by 3 psi once a week so I can get used to it.

14k was my original budget, 600whp. It's now $18k or so, excluding the car, suspension and wheels. I'm not trying to discourage you. Just be ready for the little things to drive up the price... Good luck

Nothin can really discourage me from finishing it. Lol. You actually convinced me to buy the Goliath 4" exhaust from one of the vids you posted on SM. Very nice car I must say. What are your mods Nate? Mine will be as follows......

I'm still looking into what fuel pumps or how many i would need to run my setup when i complete it.

Pretty much the same, only I have 750cc injectors, GT4067R, 3.5" dp, AEM, Eagle rods, and wiseco pistons. What ffim are you going with? I have Ron R's short runner.

I'm goin with the long runner from Ron. I live in South Florida so I definitely need to keep my A/C.
