I know you have mentioned all the things you are planning for your TC in order to make 500 whp, obviously some people may not think that a GT4088r may be the best choice in this case including my self because of the size, lag, and so on. Understand that you are not reinventing the wheel, 500whp has been accomplished before with smaller turbos and that is the point they are trying to explain. Never the less you can put any turbo you want.. Some of us are just trying to help. In my opinion 4” downpipe, a GT4088r, Dual 44m waste gates are a bit overkill for 500hp. Who know, you may be ending with 600+hp or a blown motor wish we do not want to see…

Good lock in your project and I will be looking to see how this turned out..

yeah tc motor should spin this turbo, heck it spins it at idle.. true you see even bigger turbos on smaller honda motors and yeah they spin and give massive numbers.. tc has revs low, but that's stock.. remember he is building the motor.. a well built motor with a good engine/fuel management will make success

rcruz2525

Yes we understand, but my point is 500hp, you dont need all that for 500hp. You can built a big motor, ported head, bigger pistons and all that but you are not building a 500hp tc you are building something else..

yeah sure as i've mentioned even a gt3076r can reach that goal, but then the turbo will be maxed out or close, gt35 will be a good option too.. but we dont know 500 is his goal for now and might decide to go bigger along the way.. so why not gt40?

You guys have to read between the lines a little here.........

He just just posted a few things about the project...Its going to be an evolution over time..

He will and most definately rev higher than the factory rev limit, especially when its time to take full advantage of the setup

Which means, he will have vavletrain, he will have cams, he will have an intake manifold etc.

There are steps to this process...

Instead of everyone here going after just one part of what he wrote, take a second to think about it before they type or doubt what ones goals are.

Instead why don't you just sit back and watch as the project unfolds.

It will take more guys like Reaper to step up for this community to evolve..so give him credit for wanting to try instead of doubting his plans.



Again read what I wrote above....

We have much higher goals than 500whp. But just because that was not initial mentioned......There is a reason for the parts that are selected.

yeah lets be open minded, big mind = big success..
i remembered long time ago when someone was planning on the gt35 on the tc and quite a few were hating but then it was a success

That's true. It happened to me when I start with my project. Let's give them some room a see what happen. Deffinetily it's gonna be a hell of a ride. Good luck!!!

Todd

Take it easy my friend. We are just writing our opinion about the 500whp. You have to admit that seems to much for 500 when you read his post. It's obvious that your goals are higher but 500 was what he said. As I said before. Good luck with that +750whp Tc!!!!! I wish I could learn and apply something to my project!!!!

TurboToyotas

first and foremost, to all.... please accept my apology if I came of with a "tone"

I did not mean too if I did.

Hopefully we all learn and benefit from projects like this

[quote="TurboToyotas"]Todd, apology accepted, no need to, we are all learning and trying different thing everyday and finding out what works and what doesn’t.
It just that the title said 500whp Build (hopefully!) and with all the parts you guys mention (hopefully!) is not ever a question..

Good lock with it and please keep us posted.

I do remember that. A lot of people hating on turbo selection and now there are quite a few with GT35R and even bigger!

I think those that have witnessed the GT35R hit full boost know the GT4088 will be OK!! It is obvious someone with a GT4088 on a daily driver 4 cylinder engine is going to be raising the rev limit and with a higher rev limit then there is no problem at all.

good start... some parts might not be to my taste but granted would be interesting enough to see how it unfolds...

BTW u can rev to 7500 rpms on the right valve train.. i know this for a fact hehehe.... 7800 will be confirmed shortly...

Seems like Todd took the words right out of my mouth. I feel it will be very beneficial to me to as he stated let this project "evolve" as I build it. I want to take care of the built motor before this project ever sees boost so I wont have any worries there. Then, id like to tune it VERY conservative around 500whp give or take. Then from there we can turn up the wic accordingly. And thanks to everyone who is backing me and wishing me luck!

t_urbo_C_harged

Could you share with me in a pm what styles they are? I am interested in adding that to my parts list. Plus I am going to be finally graduated in 2 weeks and back to work making some dough for the kit we have discussed! Oh, and any updates on the motor mounts and valve cover/catch can idea? Could add that to the list as well :D ... PM me when you have time!

I did not get an error message when I sent it the first time.
