PAB Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 anybody know the best turbo size for a stock L18, the motor was rebuilt about 5 months ago. just bought the truck 3 weeks ago. would a garrett turbo off a 280z work? Quote Link to comment
nismopu Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 What kind of HP are you looking for? What kind of spool up are you looking for? Technically, alot of turbos can fit your engine since its going to be a custom job anyway, but you need to ask yourself these things first. peace. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Also ask: does my motor have forged or stock pistons? will it be a draw through or blow through dystem? Answer these and there will be even more questions. If you throw a turbo on without thought to long term engine life ie, a motor built to take it, that turbo will destroy your motor in about two hours. Less actually. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 A T3 would be about as much as you want to put on that stock engine. 9 psi on premium fuel I would guess. Open chambered heads aren't good for forced induction. I hope the rebuild included a stock cam. A longer duration cam will not work well. Quote Link to comment
