Turbo size
How in the hell do you pick the right size turbo. Everyone recomends something different. I have heard from 88mm to 101mm for my 402ci sbf. I guess when I figure the turbo out I can calculate the injector size.

you can either contact companies that specialize in turbos and building turbo systemsand ask them, or go to turboforums.com, learn how to read compressor maps and turbo sizing from there.
You need to know more than MM sizing, AR ratio is very important, flange sizes, power levels, inducer wheel sizing , etc etc A good book to read is TURBO: real world high performance turbocharger systems by jay k. miller. Lot of indepth information and facts that will help you choose your turbo and other components

You can be somebody with a 114mm, and not be able to run faster than mid 5's, or you can be somebody with a well thought out optimized combo and run high 4's with a 88mm. it really has more bearing on the hot side than the cold side. You decide what you want that will determine what hair drier. And how it's setup. |

You could call Tuten or Precision and im sure they can recommend something. I would go with something from an 88 to a 98, i dont see the need to go with anything bigger.

only problem with calling percision or one of the bigg companies is... they are going to try and market you a billit dbb q/p housing turbo and your talking 3,500-5g nad if your talking a comp class turbo you can go up from their. than they may try and get you to port/clip,fence the unit which adds on. think about it this way.. you can drop 3-6g on a off the shelf unit you can drop 4-7g on a modded custom unit you can spend 800-3g on a used unit their are options like a hx45(off a desile truck) that are dirt cheep buy a back housing and walla you have a good contender that will flow 30-60 psi ( you could even go with a tial stainless machined housing that wont ever crack and will drop your weight plus is the shit and flows better than the cast unit their is options likes300/s400(borg warner) that are t4 or t6 fotprint that will flow 1000whp+ and dont require you to brake the bank and are easily rebuilt where the new units reqire the whole center section to be replaced unless its the new percision center housings that are rebuildable but i can say i spend 3,500 on a 72mm with a q housing and it was dbb billit(off the shelf turbo) again you can buy whatever... but you can get a turbo that will hit early and taper off on the top or you can get a mid rang or one that has some lag but makes it on the top end. with a bb motor id be shooting for a mid-top end you are drag racing odds are your on a trans brake or 2 step(if not both) and dont have to worry about spooling it. are you running exotic fuel or pump gas... are your spring in the head up to the task of holding back 30+psi ive seen test where valves were pushed open because not enough seat pressure, how much air are your heads going to flow.. how hard can you spin the motor(you dont need a turbo that wakes up at 4,000 and makes power till 9000 if you cant spin it that hard.. their is such thing a turbo map and its not super hard to read you just need to know the general info than you can choose your options from their. sorry about my rant.

Yep I guess calling Chris is a good option. I was just kicking around the idea. It looks like I'll only have to change everything to make the swap.

Depends on your motor. Cubic inch isn't everything. My guess- 88-94mm, large frame, 1.0 AR, and if it were me, a billet wheel. The turbo should be the least of your concerns. Convertor, boost controller, rear gear etc will have a bigger impact than a few mm on a turbo.
Your combo is a dime a dozen, so finding all the right pArts, pieces and proven combos should be easy. |

Another option is to call Proline. Let them spec your cam and turbo. They will be the same price as any other dealer- the only difference being that they have tons of turbo windsors out there to pull info from to get you set up right the first time.
Tuten is the other obvious choice. He can help you pick the entire setup as well. |

What are you doing with the car?Is it drag only or street/strip?You can get 80mm for under $1100.I have a couple of 76mm Holsets off 855 Cummins.It has alot to do with the hp you are trying to get out of it.Diesel turbos are a good option,but most have larger turbines so they won't spool as fast.I have some good sources on buy turbos if you need some.

Your car already hauls ass on a small shot. I would just change the cam and pill it up. It would cost alot of money to change your setup.
