I am planning out my TII's build up as I am picking up my poor babe tommorow afternoon. It was suggested that a TO4B would easily make the 350-400hp that I am going to want out of my S5 TII. But I can't seem to find it. If any of you know where I can look for them it would be great. I have tried ebay, google and some other net sources but i can't find on that I need. He also said that a 60-1 would be good. But again I don't know where to buy them I can only find them in pics and forums. :/

Whys everyone going the big turbo route nowadays?

^^ big gains. personally ive never really been a fan of those dirty slow spooling big turbos its like... slow slow slow (boost in) TOO MUCH!! AHHHH

to4B is big https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif



Cheapturbo.com has them Santiago.

in the voice of Pinky "eBay Brain!"

First of all to address an important issue. I am not leaving the N/a scene at all. I am probably going to enjoy the N/a more because i will not drive the TII much. Probably one or two days of the week to go show up the ricers and domestics at the track locally. The N/a is probably going to be my Suspension ***** getting the badass handling upgrades and all that. If I get my beater car fixed again I will probably bridge my engine on the Sport and run it at the autoX or rally it a bit. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png





Second I am shooting for 350-400hp with reliable running for the engine and turbo. I don't want to push a small turbo too much to make the power cheaply I dont like down time after the car is working. I want the Snail to have enough to make that power easily or moderatly taxing its ability.



I checked out cheap turbo before asking but I didn't see the B i saw a TO4S I think. Would that still be the same turbo? I am still green on the TII scene and need a little guidance. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif





Santiago

To4S is larger. Made to run around 15-20psi. Can support 460RWHP.

Santiago you may want to look for a 60-1 turbo. It gives me a reliable 330 rwhp at only 10psi non-port engine and still room for improvement. At 10psi the turbo is not even yet at its peak efficiency. Efficiency is the key for reliable power. THis turbo is a very popular with rotaries, specially ported. cheapturbo.com seems to have good prices.

and they have excellent service and tech support. ken is by far one of the easiet vendors i have dealt with, and is very knowledgeable. i've ordered a wastegate and a turbo from cheapturbo.com and have been very pleased with both transactions.

Ah hmm I will look into it. Do you all have any info on these two snails? I want to read up as much as I can on them. I just don't know where to look for the info other than cheapturbo.

that's more like it

I've descided that when I do buy it it is comming straight from turbonetics. TO4B with a 60-1 Trim

thats nice. ballbearing???

the TO4B is a great turbo for our cars. It can out flow the 4E .The first thing to keep in mind when matching a turbo to your engine is what you want to do with it. Say for auto-X or something with quick tight turns that you need it to come online fast, get the job done, dump it, then need again.....the TO4B is great for this.



But for something like drag racing, a snail could be better. You have a whole 1/4 mile for it to do it's thing.



Just comes down to what you need it for.

My to4B with 60 a/r, 1.15 a/r hot with p-trim.



Note the nip. (rotor engraved under the powder coat) https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I beleive they have on theri site that they have a ceramic ball bearing option. I might ask about that.

to4b doesn't have that much boost lag. now a T78 gots some slow boost lag but when it hits nothin can keep up https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif

nothing but a t88 supra https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

That makes no sense at all......

it makes sense... its just not necesiarrly true, or right.
