which turbo?

[CC801]

i have 2 turbos in my possesion right now, but can't decide which one to use. i have a
20G/14cm with stock dp, and i have a te44(atr44) with the garret .63 turbine housing,3in dp from ATR. current build is stock bottom end(for now) 412, vortecs, will be using 60lb inj, and code 59 to tune. thanks for any input.

Re: which turbo?

Funny i was looking into same things. Only looking to see what is biggest engine will take.

I saw many 20g replacments. TD05...06... I believe. Some BIG DOG turbo.. these are all mitsubishi turbos.

I just wasnt sure if you can bolt any turbo on being that these trucks have a special liquid cooled turbo.

I also looked into water cooled turbos and came up with simmilar results for 20g, TD06.. thats about it.

Im looking to further my knowledge with turbo applicatons here thanks

Re: which turbo?

20g is liquid cooled, just like the stock 17c. it is a direct bolt on but will require a tune to be correct. most turbos from what ive seen are oil cooled. and you just have to block off the coolant ports on the intake and block.

Re: which turbo?

I believe both turbos will need a looser than stock converter to boost quickly.
What is the stall on your torque converter?

Forgot about that, I have a 3000 stall.

Re: which turbo?

Here is the way I see it. If you are going to go with the 44, you will need a new DP, block off cooling lines that kind of thing. You will also need to re-do your intake. I say, if you're going to go through all that for a turbo that can be out performed(IMO) by a basically bolt on 20g, its not worth it. If you want to go bigger at some point with a PTE turbo, then I say go for it.

With the 20g, you can get them to perform VERY well with the right converter and tune. It is otherwise a bolt on mod. The less crap you have to fart around with the better. FWIW, (and it could be due to our altitude) we just bolted on a 20g on stock chip and injectors and our ty runs awesome with it. But even though it doesn't knock, it does run fairly lean. I have some 40# injectors and the chipping equipment but I just need to get the WB for it fixed(LC-1, go figure) and I think we can get the truck from its 13.6 down to 13.1 or so. Up here that's not too bad for a mainly stock Ty.
