Best for what? I hate it when people post questions like this, if you give us some stipulations to go by then we can help you out or give an opinion. All of the kits above are good and would be excellent given different applications (with the exception of the HKS TO4S which does not exist). Personally I have the HKS TO4E kit and I like it for what it is, a fast spooling street turbo with good power for my taste.. and cheap to rebuild/upgrade in the states.

Yea whats this for? drag car/street car? Do u mind lag? How bigs your wallet?

MyDreamCarFd3S 12-16-2002 09:36 PM

3rd gen. hmm street car on week days and drag on week ends. Less lag is better. though im planning on having 1 or 2 bov's if that makes a diff in picking. i got about 3-4k i can spare for the turbo

Let me clarify so you understand, HKS does not make a turbo kit for the FD using a TO4S.. the other HKS turbos he lists are available.

Well if you want a good drag car will minimal lag then GT35/40 is the way to go.. but you have to understand that dumping 4k on the turbo kit isn't all there is to it.. and you will not need 2 bov's unless you use something puny and useless like a Greddy type-s or HKS SSBOV. Use will also need:



clutch: $500 easily

1600 fuel injectors: $300

fuel rail: $200

SX regulator: $180

bigger SS fuel lines/filter: $400

strong fuel pump: $300 at least

engine management (Power FC, Motec, Haltech): $1200-2000

intercooler setup: $1000-1600



And then you will be breaking stuff very easily with that much power (PPF, diff, tranny.. who knows). Anyone who goes online and looks at a turbo kit thinking that the initial investment in the kit is all that is needed has much to learn.. and I know everyone here can corroborate this. I am not trying to dash your hopes, I just want to make sure you know what you are getting into.

matt is 100% correct!!!!!

1Revvin7 12-17-2002 07:40 PM

mjw is right on. I curse myself again for getting the HKS ss bov.

FD3S-K 06-07-2007 05:15 AM

$700 on a fuel kit (injectors rails fpr etc)

$2500 on a single kit (cheapest, dp, tial 44mm wg, ss manifold. etc)

engine management microtech: $1300

intercooler setup greddy 3 row: $1000

tial 50mm bov $220



I spent this much already for a gt35r setup with 850/1600cc with custom rails. thats not incl tuning and drivetrain. Single turbo adds up. im not even incl boost controller (blitz sbc i-color) or gagues (apexi el2) or even solid mounts.

Sukai94 02-15-2008 01:17 PM

I believe the GT35R is the best all around single turbo. It has little lag and you can push a lot of power through it. It is also expensive! But hey, If you are going to spend the $$ to go single why not get what what you want?



I also suggest if you are planning on doing this to an engine with a lot of miles that you get it rebuilt. I have seen people single motors with over 90k miles on them. If you have only the 5k to spend I would save it for when the motor needs help. It will.



If you do go single please do it right so you don't blow your motor! There are a lot of people on the forum here that can help you with that https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.gif GL!

Rx2Som 03-07-2008 03:48 PM

The best street turbo isnt on the above list.



Gt35/40.



Could easily make 400+ at ther rears, full boost as early as 3000rpm.



Oh before you do anything. If your engine hasnt been rebuilt. Get it rebuilt first.

ameenit 10-17-2008 04:38 PM

if i had deep pockets and no problem with money then it would definately be T51R SPL... **** sounds insane..





but realistically ive had great results with the GT35/40 turbos.. so...
