Evo 16G vs. V-Trim TO4B

[Jakey]

I've been doing some planning on what my end goals are going to be with my car ('92 Laser AWD Stock). I want to have the powertrain and drivetrain work complete by roughly late next fall. In the end I'm not looking for mega power, simply not of interest to me. The 350-400 whp is definitely where I'm looking to be comfortably sitting in end. I'm looking at either a 1G/2G combo or a 1G/Wiseco combo with the necessary supporting mods. Plans were leaning towards a Evo 16G until I came across this: http://www.bullseye-power.com/product_info.php?products_id=38

I've been very impressed by the customer service reviews of Bullseye along with the fact that AGP uses their turbine housings. Anyone care to share their $0.02 about the TO4B?

I should also mention that I'm looking to run it externally gated.

Back in the day, alot of Starquest guys were going with the V1V2 comp wheel and a t04b or t04e housing. They seem to like. I've heard good things about it's spool up and streetable power. I think it would be good choice. I'm not saying it's perfect, just saying i think it'll be a good street turbo. And looking at the price it's looking better:)

I should also mention that I have no intentions of pursuing any sort of engine management further than an AFC-II for quite sometime as I am 100% new to the whole 'tuning' process since I just got my Laser a few months back.

One thing for your rod/piston choice take some more info into that choice. A 1G rod & 2G piston option has been done and works well for what you want to do as well as a 1G rods and the wiseco piston setup. The bad thing is that both setups will require seperate machining for the rods to work with the pistons. If you get a good enough deal on the rods and pistons and you only end up paying about $100 - $150 more for a set of eagle and wiseco compared to the other options after machining. So it that case you really get what you pay for.

Bulllseye is alwasy comming out with some new options for housings and Mike and Josh can talk more about their products since we at one time had a few in house at QPR and decided againts carrying the line at that time.

With a built motor and what your looking for I would probably go with an EVO III 16G or just step up to a PTE 50 trim.

In the end I would like to have a powertrain and drivetrain similar to that of 98tsiAWD's on Tuners: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/member.php?u=1186

Im not going to search for the facts but back when I was looking around efficiency wasnt the greatest on those turbos. Id say the Evo 16g isnt going to make you 400hp, unless your spraying. Id say 50trim is a best bet for the range your looking for, and those are all over now as everyone has one. So just get a used one from someone on here ;)

Those wheels are crap. That is some 1940s technology there. Perfect for a Starquest. :)

The stock motor will hold 400whp all day long, and I think a 50trim would get you there faster and possably on pump gas.

It was swanny that said they have a nice chart:) Some 1940's tech is right for starquests, like N2O.

PS: fidy trims is +igh+ yo!
