HOW TO SELECT A TURBO CHARGER

Lots of things factor in to what size turbo you should pick. You need to look at the displacement of your engine, what your power level goals are, and how fast you want it to spool.

I only listed a fraction of the turbos out there, but they are the ones you see the most on most applications.

Check out Cheapturbo.com they have LOTS of turbos you can pick through and of course, Honda-Tech.com

I might update this thread with different graphs of different cars so you can really see what they make

You forgot InlinePro, Neukin, AFI, Lovefab, SLS, and Peakboost when it comes to turbo honda manifolds!! I know they're plenty more but those are the basics.

[bRiAnMcIvIcS]

This is really helpful mr. kidd. Thanks.

[ct9a gsr]

You'd be suprised how much power you can make on 4x 1000cc injectors... even at under 100% duty cycle... but I understand your numbers are averages. =D

[Vteckidd]

Thanks Mr.Kidd for another useful thread.

[MarcTheNarc]

JWT and CalumSult are good options for Nissan tuning. Megasquirt is big amongst certain DSM crowds as well, mainly the boosted 2gnt guys.

[patrick4588]

Its a waste of your time and money because you don't have either... will someone please tell him how much time and money this will cost him....tune, install, buying the right kit not an EBAY one like he's looking at getting, ecu tuning, and other crap..

[Vteckidd]

THe K Series are expensive because you must buy KPRO to turbo them.

PARTS wise your looking at around $4500-5000 to boost a K SERIES.

Greddy Kit is somewhere around $2500-3000
Injectors $450
Fuel Pump $100
KPRO $1000
Tuning $350

[Axix23]

kpro is by far the best mod for a k-series...

[Axix23]

anybody use the new bosch 1000cc injectors that don't require a resistor box? What kinda clips would you use for a k20 to make it work with the bosch?

[nx2000det]

add these options for Nissans Tuning:

Nistune, Calumsuit, JWT

[marcos713]
