311evo's ev-oh

[t-revzr]

Sorry I wasn't much help. I wish I could of helped you out more.
I say you go option 2 tho! 6262 all the way!

[Murlo26]

I vote stock turbo while black is rebuilt or skip to the HTA. The 6262 is nice but the HTA turbos are worth the extra cost in my mind.

If you are going to invest more money as in a few thousand give or take more, then you mind as well get the best option.

But that is my thought process.

[311evo]

Edited my last post with the option of the 6262 also being temporary if need be.

One thing I have to mention, between the 3 turbos, which spools the best?

[turbotalon1g]

I'm gonna be a PITA here, but can you break down the cost options here.

I'm not in the know as far as pricing goes for evo stuff other than its spendy.
For example:
Manifold: 600
turbo: 900
total: 1500

A more helpful part now, remember that your turbo if changing from stock frame might need different oil/water lines, flanges, downpipe, etc.

Try to add up the little things because well they do add up.

Good luck, my vote is if you want to make the power I think you are shooting for and just be street king 6262 is where it is at unless you want to do 6765 but I'm guessing thats too big.

^Double those costs and you'll be closer in the Evo ballpark :)

[311evo]

but the HTA86 spools almost as fast as the 6262 IIRC, but makes a much more broad powerband.

I'll start deviding the pricing and such.

[311evo]

Updated the price estimates.

[Shane@DBPerformance]

A 6262 setup on your car should be a far amount laggier, due to the loss of twin scroll, a bigger exhaust wheel and bigger exhaust housing. So if lag is a concern...

[311evo]

Lag is a concern, I still want the largest powerband available in the area. But I don't want to have to worry about rebuilding the turbo every 6 months. If it's 2-500 rpms laggier it's not a concern. I could always go ball bearing with the 6262, but at that point I would rather get the HTA86.

[Shane@DBPerformance]

Ball bearing doesn't really help initial spool up much either. They respool faster, like between gears though, because they don't spin down nearly as fast as a journal bearing turbo.
