Hello all. I don not post much on this forum, however, thanks to a recently acquired job and scholarship I have the money to start back on my Isuzu project car. As most of you are not familiar with Isuzu engines, I am using the 4xE1 block with a fairly "built" setup. For a quick overview I have a bottom end strong enough to hold teh boosts with 80mm, 9.5:1 pistons and a fairly stout ported DOHC head with a set of 100lb TWI valve springs and a set of Outback Exhaust .416 lift/ 225 duration camshafts. A guy with a setup similar to mine was putting down 411whp at 30psi on some old Turbonetics t3/t4 hybrid.
Anyways, I have had my mind set on a Garrett GT3071R turbocharger, however, due to the cost I would like to find other options. I'm willing to settle for something slightly used, but I don't want anything off of an old diesel. I have a good $800-$1200 price range and I'm looking for a turbo that will give me enough ass to support 400whp.
Any suggestions from IA? I'm not too familiar with Borg-Warner or Bullseye, but I have heard good things. My manifold is flanged for a t3 inlet and a 38mm wastegate, however, it should be quite easy to fab up an adapter to fit the needs of any turbo which I may buy. What does Import Atlanta think?
