question for all those that know about turbo setups

so im going to start looking for parts for a custom turbo build

not gonna go crazy cuz i will let the mechanic supply most of the parts but things i want to supply are

turbo
intercooler
bov
boost guage

question is

would a small 16g or a big 16 g turbo be better? im looking for quick spool for time attack
what would be an ideal size intercooler?
there are many bov out there , im looking for more of a fluttering bov , which bov's offer that type of noise or does that fluttering noise only come from compressor surge?
boost guage , imma jus get one


want it to sound somethin like this

either way i have alot of research to do

thats probably an HKS SSQV BOV.
and a big 16g is a good choice for what you want to do. those turbos spool quick, can push up to 28 psi with meth , and flow alot of lbs of air, have one on the beater right now and had one on the previous car.
know a few guys that broke into the 10's with that turbo.

nice , not sure what rrm uses in their turbo kit ,i kno its a 16g jus dunno the size , but was reading up on the big 16g and it seems like a good buy

is this a good intercooler to start off with?

here, save some money ;)

sick , saving money is a good thing , any other sites you reccomend for turbo shopping?

rtmracing.com

special sale HKS SSQV bov 80 bucks ?!!!! canadian ?!!!! thats a steal

the shop is in niagra falls i know him personally, hes a great guy

80$ eh , i may just have to get on that

i should prolly talk to the guy boosting my ride before i start buying things , to make sure they will go with his plans

just make sure your turbo and turbo manifold will have the same flange to bolt on to. if you get a big 16g that will be a dsm flange. make sure that you can find a turbo manifold for your car with that flange. that is if you go with that turbo

wondering if i should just run a ralliart manifold and turbo , since its the same engine

The RalliArt turbo will work nicely but you won't get too much psi out of it safely, it's would still get you around 240HP. I seen a guy with one on a CVT tranny, and he was running only 6-7psi(CVT) and made 218HP.

Wouldn't an evo x setup be better ?

evo x has bigger turbo and intercooler , i think i would have to build the engine better to run it proper , im looking to just get a start and build in the future , im aiming for around the 220-240whp mark for a start , which i know is possible from other kits i have seen , with only 8psi

from what i heard today everything is going to be custom , which is why i have to supply the turbo , if thats the case i will just get a big 16g which is what they run on stock early gen evos , i have to go see they guy and talk to him and find out what his plans are and go from there

Ive Never Had A lancer But Since Your Going With A Custom Turbo Setup Wouldnt It be Easier To Go With Just A T3 Turbo, You Can Run It Anywhere From 7 To 25lbs I Think, And Theres So Many Kits That Have it Im Sure Finding BOVs And Other Stuff Is Easy For It...Ive seen Them In Everything From civics To Mustangs And They Are Usually Pretty Cheap From Turbonetics Or Turbo XS, Just My 2 cents But Like I Said...In Not A Lancer Guy So Yall Would Know Better

yea im not gona boost no more , im just gona get my car tuned and run time attack with it , make the mustang my dd and save for a skyline , stickin with my original plan , just not worth the money boosting a factory n/a car especially a 4cyl

That's my plan. Use the Impreza until insurance goes down and get a WRX (. looks the same, more power .) or the STI (. .)

Not going to trade in for the RA?

naw , imma lose too much on it , and i still want a skyline and if i got a ra then there goes my skyline so id rather godzilla over anything

True. Sounds good..

Take Rukuss' off him, he doesn't drive it.. LOL

they use a 16g from what I remember. don't know if its a big one or small one. but the engine in the lancers that are N/A cant do that much boost 16g small would be safe but large is better lol. got to tune it good!

Speaking Of Using A Mustang For A DD, A Couple Of Months Ago Modified Mustangs had a 3.8 Like Yours Blown To Crap Running 9s And it Was The guys DD, it Was White...Looked Rock Stock from The Outside Except The M/T Et Streets

and how much did he spend on doing that? cuz they are real slow stock

I Cannot Remember If The Mag Said How Much He Spent Making It That Fast, But I Do Remember He Made Alot Of His Own Stuff. In The Pictures Of His Motor, The Intake Was A Box He Just Welded Up Himself....Stuff Like That. Heres The Link
