T-dub turbo talk

[T-double]

hey I have been reading and researching turbos. I want to get a 60-1 or 57-1 or maybe just maybe a 16g not big..but I don't know I don't want to have the same set up as everyone else.....I was going to run link on a 2.4 block with a cyclone intake manifold(should I take the butterflies out, will that help????) My head is fully built, my bottom end is going to be built. I have not decsided on how much to bore over(help I was thinking .20) forged pistons and eagle H beam rods......So I have bout a moroso oiler(like pre oiling system) But that is just a little info. but I want to run at most 22-25 PSI. Will a 16g or 60-1 or 57-1 help me get what I want....

It depends on your horsepower goals. A true 60-1 is a full T4 turbo, on the 2.4, that wont spool til about 5,000 which will leave you with a 2500RPM powerband. Also, the power is gonna go instant from no power to full power when that thing hits. An SC61 is pretty much a non-ball bearing GT35R but with a 3" inlet instead of 4" inlet, this is the turbo I have, on a 2.0 it spooled at about 4200, on a 2.4 prolly about 3800 give or take. That was with the .63 A/R turbine housing and Stage 5 turbine wheel. Pretty much that setup is the largest non ball bearing T3/4 turbo. They dont call it a 57-1, its just called a 57 trim. Very similar to an SC61 except with a smaller compressor wheel. This turbo will spool up a little quicker, especially if you get it with a ball bearing cartridge. The 16g is really small for a 2.4 motor, I think you will end up with it topping out in the high 6,000 RPM range and the power will level off instead of climbing.

Power wise.....

60-1 (depending on which one you get) anywhere from 400-650whp

SC61 is good for about 550-600whp with a good tune

57 trim is good for about 475-500whp

Big 16g, im not too sure, prolly around 400whp.

im running a 57 trim t3/t4 hybrid, and i am very happy with it. im running 10 psi. the turbo spools pretty damn quick, but maybe thats because i have an equal length header (which is something for u to consider). but anyway, the t4 is kinda big for the 2.4, and like mentioned the 16g is kinda small, so i would say go 57 trim. but thats just me. i dont have any internal work done yet so i dont know how the turbo would perform under high boost.

well who is your turbo made by and how much was it??????

[T-double]

well I am looking at this 57 trim SCM-3431E (57 Trim with stage 3 turbine wheel) I fo8und it on slowboy.....I know some people that are running this turbo and I think it might be something good to start off with.....it is not that bad just 879* I am going to do a little more research and guys let me know what you think.....

and I want to start off with runnning my cyclone intake manifold and I have heard that if you take out the butterflies you can get more bottom end power.....someone pls let me know....

its a garret. i got it from a friend brand new never seen boost for $500 i though it was a great deal, thats why i got it. u can prob find a rebuilt one for under 350 if u look hard. i got the manifold from meghan racing for $220, which was totally worth it to. i can send some links if u want them, and good luck with ur project.
