Engine swap questions

Post by Blue Wolf »

Turbo. Wanna try some spray at least once in my lifetime, donno if I'll do it with this car, though. Possible. Been learning things about turbos and for my current engine it looked as if a T28 would be good. Spools up quicker than a T3, and keeps it's power going further than a T25. Hardly any turbo lag it would seem like. But if I'm going to be modding a Y8 and stuff, not really sure what I would use after all the aftermarket parts are on, cause it'll have a lot more power than my Y7, and therefore will be able to spool the turbo up faster so Idk? Prolly won't know what would be right until all the work is done on it except for the turbo, right?

Your going to need a bigger turbo then a T25 or T28 for 300whp. And if your wanting to go the turbo route, don't buy the D16Y8. Get a D16Z6 instead. Its better, trust me. And to be honest, I didn't under stand a word you typed so I want you to do this. Click the link below, register on the site, research what people are doing and do not post until you've done a few hours of research.
