    Default built d...recommend turbo

    got my built D all together and will be dropping it in either tomo or saturday, just wondering what everyone thought would be a good turbo for a 400whp set-up on my lil SOHC...yes it has the supporting mods it needs to hold every bit of that and then some! i will be running s300 and the car will be daily driven, tuned for 250ish whp for daily and at the flick of a switch 400whp :boobies: should be a fun lil EF hatch...after i get the motor in im going for a brake upgrade...lol

    I always like the ol' faithful Garrett 57 trim but the ball bearing turbos sure are nice.......

    Either a 50 trim or 57 would be ideal. We do more D setups than anything and have had great success with both numerous times.

    Bullseye Power .70 a/r 50 trim would do great

    go with a .60 cold side .63a/r hotside t3t4 or go witha t3-60-1 .70 .63a/r hotside. I have a built D as well and am using the 60-1 and i love it. Is your head built? I have a built head and rev to 9k So the lack of spool up time doesnt affect me.
    I do rb20 and rb25 wiring into s13 and s14's 300.00 shipped 24hr turn around turn ket start guaranteed! PM me for more details!
