so im gonna try to tackle this rebuild in a couple of weeks on my 90 TII. Ordering a Atkins master rebuild kit. and i figured since it would be out of commission for awhile anyway, i might as well throw a bigger snail in there while i have everything apart...



i was looking at garrett gt35s, ball-bearing... i checked rx7store too im just not really sure what to invest in, i want to eventually push upwards of 300hp...



what do you guys think i should throw in there?

also i heard of guys running two walbro 255s instead of one. i'm guessing you need a standalone for that

if i cranked boost into the teens would one still be sufficient?









come on, a simple yes or no would be great, guys... gt35 good or no good?

gt35 is good. a ball bearing one is also great. but you cant just look at a turbo by itself. the turbo is only as good as everything surrounding it.



and 300WHP is pretty simple.



t60, street port, 1600cc secondarys, fuel pump, stand alone and your good for 400.

300 bhp or rwhp?



I would never run twin pumps, just asking for trouble IMO. One 255 walbro is fine for 300rwhp.

You should have a a standalone for any To4 turbo upgrade.
