Good turbo upgrade from t49?

[87turbo87]

Looking for ball bearing turbo. GN has all bolt ons including upgrade intercooler, stall speed converter and alky system. Was tuned by a tuner in Chicago burbs. Stock internals. Power goal is 600 whp. Thx.

6262dbb ?

Above your thread in this forum is a post by PTE about the Next Gen3 turbos. Either of the smaller ones are a jump up and with a stockish build you'll be happy. Really Big without supporting mods will be a turd on the street and you'll be disappointed.

Who's your Chicagoland tuner btw?

as crazy as it sounds the 5658 would be my next turbo if my 5857 died tomorrow

Thx. Previous owner used a tuner named Turbo Rick

On a comp triple bb turbo hubless ctr or ctr-x i wouldn't put anything smaller than a 62mm on these motors.
Their new ctr-x 62 is good for over 1100hp and spool up before anyone can type spool.

That’s a member here that goes by the name Turbobuirick he’s very sharp know his stuff haven’t seen him on the board in a while.

Sorry boys the new comp ctr-x 62mm hubless is good over 1000hp

 

[william B.]

silly question, would the ctr-x 62mm hubless be a restriction on a 272 in engine in T-4 v-band configuration ?

Stuff it into the big housing and eat, the torque from 3500-5000rpm would be a giant mountain on our engine (my 235ci at 8.5 comp saw 800+tq by 4000rpm on a smaller 58/55 turbo).

If you're a street car that engine would be the setup to hang with those EVs that have instant torque and put 1-2 cars instantly on most ICE. I'm literally thinking about building a TA 4.5L 10:1 with this turbo for my next engine, the torque these can make on our engine in that range is insane. Massive torque mountain vs slow creep up I see on old turbos and housings.

Track, different variables, Spool knows best.

my goal for my 272 was 800 tf lbs of torque,have a 6466 for it,but new 6262 is very tempting, thank you

Nothing wrong with a question like that
You could start a backpressure thread
I know a thing or 2 about it
And would be willing to participate
