My New 98 gsx build

[Yiddie]

Alright I need some suggestions on what kind of turbo to use on my new setup..
MAP stage2 shortblock
Built 2g head
Debating between a magnus/jm fab intake mani
Fuel setup for e85, thinking for injectors, fic 2150s
I currently have a new fp race manifold, My question is should I get the precision 5857 ball bearing n use the manifold, Or get a tubular and get a different turbo? Maybe a 6266?

[turbotalon1g]

What are you goals?
how fast do you want to go?
budget?

[Yiddie]

Tight Budget why I'm debating on a tubular(which one if I do)
Either way I need a new turbo
My power goals are kinda open right now, I guess anything past 500 i'm happy with.

But yea know if keeping that mani makes it very limited then I'll have to make it work by getting a tubular I suppose.

[turbotalon1g]

meh, all the new tech makes it easier to make power.
The FP is the best mitsu flanged turbo manifold out, a 5858 should get your goal but the 6266 will do it really easy.

But if you are on a tight budget, you don't need 1/2 the stuff you listed. You could spray it.....

[Yiddie]

What could the 5858 ball bearing with that mani get me for power?

What do you recommend for a tubular? I was looking at the map one.. Sooo nice haha but also like 1300$..

magnus or jm fab for intake?

I kinda look at it as... If i'm gonna have a built engine don't really wanna cut any corners, Want it to be legit. I know I really should get a tubular it would be worth it in the long run.. I just thought if that fp mani would work i'd use it, But thinking about it.. if I ever did switch to a tubular I'd have to get another turbo, sounds more expensive in the long run.

I'm confused you seem determined for a tubular manifold, why?

[notsostockgalant]

I'd go with JMF for the intake manifold unless you're going with the cast Magnus . The regular Magnus SMIMs are garbage they crack all the time I've personally had 2 of em crack on the runner.

As far as a manifold I'd stay with the fp if your funds are low since there's plenty of mitsu flanged turbos that'll get you to your goal HP.

[Yiddie]

Yeah.. I think I'm just gonna keep the manifold and get a 5858 or a 5857.

Or with that setup which turbo you think would be best? I'm open for suggestions

[awd-drifter]

with that much power, i'd be worried about the transmission...unless you have a built or rebuilt one already.

i'd vote the 5858 but the 6266 is the route i would go if i went that way.

[Yiddie]

Yeah I'm thinking the jm fab drag intake and the 5858 ball bearing.

That's my next step on this build.. I still have a stock tranny, besides a act street disk clutch installed.
Since the engine/tranny are out of the car I should probably do something about that. Any suggestions? haha
