Comparing that to PTuning's TA car though....that car is like sucking you through a Black Hole and traveling backwards in time.
How can you even compare a street car that makes 250whp to a race car that makes 500+whp!

That's just too funny.

Back atcha, cause when I rode in it, it was on a stock motor and not making 500+whp....

That's my point. I say go bigger if you got the 3 inch exhaust, EL manifold to compliment it. Which in both cases PTuning tC/Elevation, they do have that. But we are talking a Log style manifold for a normal docile (if there is such a thing as a 300whp docile tC), tC here. No sense of having a big turbo that's getting choked by a 2.5 inch exhaust and a log manifold and only pushing 10lbs of boost.

yes ther is...makes you upgrade to that 3inch exhaust, El manifold, standalone, return fuel system, fuel pump, bahhhh you get the point

but thats my point, my tc is my daily driver, as it is for most people who opt for turboing there tc. I have basicaly come to the conclusion that 300ish whp is totally fine with me, being that it is a daily driver. maybe if I had a this as my weekend car I would go for the huge turbo, but I think a 16g is a great daily driver turbo, and has just as much room as a t3/t4 to upgrade

Troys,

Yes a Big 16G should be able to get your 300whp.. I would do the following though... get the exhaust housing ported out.. get the exhaust wheel's blades clipped moderately. Be prepared to run a little more psi to get 300whp though.. I would guess around 11-12psi with those mods and a good tune.

That's essentially a T'netics kit. Cast manifold with a T04E/T3 turbo and I've seen people with 2.5" exhaust get about 250-260whp at 9psi. I got about 272whp with a 3" but on the ultra-conservative Unichip tune.

okay then what'd you make on the 11psi range? just know i'm preparing to throw a BS flag at you travis.

I didn't dyno at 11, I was on 12psi. Only dynoed at 7psi. On 7lbs put down 250whp/260wtq. My boy with the Dezod T.E.A kit put down 240ishwhp on the same dyno at 8psi.

I never get the BS flag waved at me....cause I usually have data behind what I say. Want to see video of a 20G vs two 57 (twice as big) trim turbos? No Brake boosting, just mashing the gas to see who wins.... (and my 20G wasn't even at peak performance, the seals were blown on it).
Okay what was your power number on 12 psi? because on 6psi i did 280whp/287tq.

I'm subscribed to your you tube so if you put it on there i've seen it. if its not on your youtube then i say this. travis ofcourse i would like to see your video wtf kind of question is that?

i run a log mani on 11psi making almost 330whp

But this is a 12 PSI pull on the 20G:

I was never into dyno numbers, they don't get you down the track any faster...

i run a log mani on 11psi making almost 330whp

And it would be even more on an EL and 3 inch exhaust.

Do you have any examples of how your 330whp @ 11 PSI performs? Did you post a dyno sheet somewhere, how did I miss this?

ya i got a dyno sheet..... i already am running a ptuning exhaust tho.... 255lph pump and 700cc injectors... where have you been?

i can give you comparisions all day long of cars and bikes i've raced but without vids to back them up ppl would throw BS flags at me.

one example is a 309whp evo on a superflo dyno. him and i race every now and again.

and various 600 motorcycles. keep in mind before ppl call me a liar on this one. i live in CO and 600's are dogs at this altitude.

yes i felt the need to quote this whole thing. anyways the point to my ranting is a t3/t4 is a .60trim .82A/R is the best turbo ever for..... okay its just better then the 16G. When i hit boost before i got used to it. i felt like somone was stepping on my chest. my best buddie said he had to fight to keep his head off the headrest.... i dunno why he didnt just let it hit the headrest.

Man, working on my Time Attack project...my bad... I believe you. I know some people might call BS on me when I have said some of my crew and I have raced 400whp cars and beaten them.

Last race was my boy with the Dezod T.E.A kit racing a Procharged (380whp) 350z. He was on 10-11lbs of boost, and beat the Z by a car.

You also have a 3 inch exhaust which I is going to help you in the power and spool department. I know some people say they spool instantly and what not, but you can't change the laws of physics. If some people think they spool instantly on some of the larger turbos when they are running a 2.5 inch exhaust and a log manifold, then they would think a 16G equipped tC was practically always in boost....lol. It's just a drastic difference in spool with that turbo. To remedy this with a larger turbo like I said, you should have a 3 inch exhaust and EL manifold with a Ball Bearing turbo.

Because I have 2step launch control and have ridden in the PTuning TA car and felt how it performs with the GT3076r, I'mno longer an ANTI-large turbo for the street guy. I say go larger if you got the supporting mods. But if your still on the 2.5 exhaust and log mani....keep it in the fast spooling department with a smaller turbine.

Instant spool my ___! i don't spool until 3300. thats not instant when you compare how long it takes to go from 0-3300 vs how long it takes to go from 3300 - 6300. ya i have lag, but i've killed many many cars up here with my turbo.
