Re: What Turbo?

go big or dont change at all, just go with the stealth and call it a day. I believe its the biggest you can go with and keep the a/c system

Re: What Turbo?

will the stealth work with a 2800 stall?

Re: What Turbo?

the rating on the stealth says 3k or higher but i asked a few local turbo guys about this turbo for both my sy and other s10 and both said a 2800 would work no problem

Re: What Turbo?

Call Mike at RPM and ask for a good price if possible. He might have a BB alternative but i really dont like these turbos

same here.when i used that turbo with a 2800 stall it was a perfect fit. The heads i used at that time did flow 220 cfm

Re: What Turbo?

you don't like the pte's

i'm not sure mike carries turbos that will use the pte downpipe

last i knew gt series garrett turbo's were water cooled then the q would be the trim style/option

see this pic.. it shows , from left to right, a P, a Q, and GTQ

just a little something i found on a supra site that might help a little

Re: What Turbo?

tell me why?

i love big balls...... i mean ball bearings the GT series is just awesome, I plan on goin with a GT42R or GT45R if it comes into production, Ive held one before but it was a prototype from Garrett :tup:

Re: What Turbo?

i'm still on the fence, i haven't been convinced yet

Re: What Turbo?

Re: What Turbo?

iv said it before and ill say it again........

the stealth turbo is a poor choice unless your dead set on running a 3" inlet.

why? because you pulling the air for a 68mm inducer thru a 3" opening instead of a 4" opening. this is inefficient, and was only created to satisfy a specific turbo buick race class that required 3" or smaller inlets. turbos are designed to compress air, not suck air. this is gonna cost you some HP.

also, there are much better turbos out now than the stealth. if you want to run 10 year old technology, go for it, but i just dont see the point. the compressor design as well as the turbine design are considered old. the PT67GTQ will walk all over that turbo, and its smaller, and will spoolupfaster. and if you want even faster spoolup with similar HP, go with the PT67 dual ballbearing with a P-trim turbine.
