[0lmytsi]

I have a 50 trim and i feel like i could definitely give up a lil more low end so i voted for the 3052 which is just a step above in my book.

[1gawd4g63]

bullseye to4b-vtrim 48lb per hour

[johnnytsi]

the fp3052 is hands down the best "daily driver" 2.0/pump gas turbo.

John-

[johnnytsi]

for a 2.0 -> fp3052
for a 2.3 -> fp3065

John-

[TEC]

For a 2.3/2.4 - FP3575 or t67 with the .68 hotside.

For a 2.0 - GT35r

[chuckz28]

Im running a big 16g but with all the proper mods I would go with a LOT bigger turbo on the street still especially if I had AWD.

[ralliartist]

2.3/2.4---fp3575

2.0---fp3052

[Saad]

GT35r is my weapon of choice:D , 2.0 2g is wat im running. Makes for a good daily driver..

[Saad]

gt35r ftw

[greencrusader]

16G Big good enough for me. :)

[redtalontsi]

For "daily" city driving, like stoplight to stoplight, the Evo 16G has to be the winner. For communting on interstates for some distance maybe a bigger turbo is the winner. So there is a disdinction to be made between two kinds of "daily driving".

[bumpndatrunkdsm]

Big Evo 16G keeps me out of too much trouble financially.

[NOMIEZVR4]

The 14b is one tough turbo to beat. Mine is ported, nothing special just a DIY port job and I hit FULL BOOST at 2700rpms. Oh yea...and did I mention that its with a STOCK DOWNPIPE AND CAT in place? No joke..I can get video proof as well. :)

The 14b definitely has me spoiled. Ive driven 50trim'd car, EVOIII16g, big16, small16 and none come close to the 14b in regards to daily driveability.

Heck I can be at 20% throttle and hit boost..:P

Nomie

[16G_tsi_awd]

FP Green! lag sucks!

[EclipseRST]

GT4202r... Ran it on the street daily and loved it.

[Gleason]

35R or 50trim. Decent pump+meth power, but not enough to the point I'll be breaking shit every 30 seconds.

[turbotalon1g]

3065, enough lag for good gas mileage. ton of power for when you want it.

[KyleGST]

E3 , 50 trim

[aaannntt1965]

EVO3 seems to work well for a daily commuter. Get something bigger if your looking to kick some a$$ along your route.

[chowda633]

Either a 60-1 on a 2.0 or a T-67 on a 2.4

[AL92]

I had a 50 trim on my 92 talon 2.0 . It was very nice turbo. I built a 2.4 so went with FP3065.It has crazy insane power and top end.It spools up full around 4000 or so. You can gear down if you want to get quicker spool up.
For off the line can use my stutterbox or anitlag. If I had a 2.0 I would have got the FP3052. Somedays I still think the 3052 might be slightly better for around town but as some say keeping out of boost saves some gas and likely saves a lot of tickets.
I like knowing that I have the reserve with my FP3065 also.I ran only around low twenties last season which think was around 500 engine hp. That was screaming fast but know if take it up to 30s should get 650engine hp.
That would be totally nuts. Only time every really use that type of power is the track unless you like sleeping in jail or losing your liscence forever.

[BlackHawkAWD91]

I've had a 13b auto car, 14b, B16, scm50, and now fp3575. For a run 100% true fun daily driver, i vote B16!

[1990 Dsm Gsx]

13g FTW! hahahahaha




-Andrew

[BlackHawkAWD91]

Good call, auto turbo is a brake boosters dream come true!

[curtisimo]

I currently use a MHI 16g and I like it. It may be burning a lil oil so Im going to upgrade to an Evo III big 16g or 20g. Nothing crazy

[R.A.D racing]

Other. Mine is a PTE 54 trim. PTE 3227e.

[DSMGates]

I voted for 16g with proper mods, its worked good for me!

[MufflerBearing]

I myself am only running a 20g. But i have a few friends that are running around on PT67's and they seem to be the way to go IMO. So i voted for the T67.

The T67 is also the turbo i will be getting here in a few months, after my motor build is up. Cant wait to feel the bad boy lol

[topguntsi]

I run a precision sc5031e t3/t4 .63 a/r and its great for the street with my mods. However a 35r would be my weapon of choice once I get the supporting mods.

[92fwdMITSU]

Currently running a B16G to get engine set up and broken in before throwing on a PTE 3582R :D

Should be fine on a daily driver and get good gas mileage too since it won't spool instantaneously.

[partemisio]

This biggest one my car can support. Because I don't care about low end or spool. Antilag and/or nitrous will fix the spool problems.

[Boxcarracer944]

Mine will be the 13g, keepin it low PSI heh heh.

[topguntsi]

GT35r T4 (divided turbine housing) on a well setup car, would be wicked on the street.

[JAD3D]

I don't have much lag on my big 16g. Evo III Big 16G or w.e. I hit fully boost around 2900-3000 best daily driver i have.


Except for my NT 4g63 1g. Never broke once..ever......e..v...e...r...

[jesse92]

I personally run a FP3052 but I would say biggest would have to be FP3065 or 35R.

[hks-gst]

A 50trim(pte 5031e) is a perfect street turbo imo, and makes plenty of power on pump gas.

[turbolover]

I have a mhi e316g which is perfect for a d/d but if I had my choice it would be a 3065:D which is what i voted for:P

[dannyrampage]

i got a t63 caterpilla turbo on my civic and a t60/48 presicion turbo going in to my 1g awd

[fastevo]

The 14b is one tough turbo to beat. Mine is ported, nothing special just a DIY port job and I hit FULL BOOST at 2700rpms. Oh yea...and did I mention that its with a STOCK DOWNPIPE AND CAT in place? No joke..I can get video proof as well. :)

The 14b definitely has me spoiled. Ive driven 50trim'd car, EVOIII16g, big16, small16 and none come close to the 14b in regards to daily driveability.

Heck I can be at 20% throttle and hit boost..:P

Nomie

I have to agree cause he did say whats the best dd. Nothing really beats the stock spool up. I know plenty of guys that go big turbo and always end up selling there car or either going back to a smaller turbo.

[10secclub]

what about the gt3076r i have one on my daily driver and love bone stock down to cams

[NVRacing]

GT3582R is as big as I want to go for street driving. And when you dump in some e-85 or c16 its got the flow to make enough power to break lots of shit.

[TravisB]

ill prolly run a FP Green myself. I consider up to a T67 streetable though.

[95whiteyTSI]

Fp green myself followed by evo3 16g. Prollly becuase that all ive tried

[jloverde]

I'm using a e16 right now and don't think it's big enough... next one will be at least a 50-trim.

[ink_addiction49]

I don't really drive like I am on the street. So the bigger the better and this baby pushes 750hp above the stock hp

[sittingduck]

A nice 16g would do good in my car.

[cupa-joe]

running with Evo III 16G, and pretty happy with it

[turbo4g63t]

Big 16g here....Makes good power, especially for a DD and their isn't much lag from the little turbo's so i'm happy.

[garychios]

I had the following

60 trim (Very basic $500 turbo new from FP) = 10.6 @ 132

35R (From AGP Turbo) = 9.9 @ 141

60-1 (From AGP) T4 HKS Setup = Only dynoed. Never raced 570 WHP

42R (From AGP) = 129 in the 1/8 test and tune. No full passes yet. But went 9.8 @ 140 hitting the brakes early.

[frankozz]

16g's rule!!!! I have an evo3 16g myself :D

[drifte]

I went from ported 14b, to e3b16g, to a BR20g. The spool up is really great with the Br20g, Im not kidding, its not as fast-not far off, but it does damn well. And when it does spool its a helluva a lot more fun.

anyone have a 30r? I think that would by my next turbo. My friends have 35r, 42r, but spool up is completely unpractical on the street.

[injekt]

Im using a fp big t-28 and i lovei t. Direct bolt on for a 2g and look's sleeper. I don't do any track racing or anything just my daily drive so it works out great.

[myAWDgst]

I like my GT3582r

[code]

I've been running my precision 56-trim for about a year now. I like it a lot. Evo III 16g's are nice too. It would be cool to get and Evo III rebuilt with ball-bearings. A local shop said they could do it. It's deffinetly crossed my mind.

[JPJ2007]

Im stock T25, Im looking at th FP Big T28. Im only looking for 350awhp and since its been known to put out 404Awhp I think it will do just fine.
Only thing im worried about is MPG since it starts boosting at2k and hits full boost at 3k.... Been thinking of running some larger just for that reason,
Maybe something that hits full at 4 since I change gears at 3 driving normal trying to save gas....

[pwrdby4g63]

I daily my T60-1 on my 2.0 on pump with water/meth injection. It seems to work pretty good with not too bad spool time.

[4_fingered_GST]

Why does the 42R get:eek: Wouldn't the non-ballbearing turbocharger be less streetable?

-Josh

[EclipsN]

My car has a fully built block with a 50 trim. It can be a daily if I wanted to (and use to be), but we have 3 other cars to drive...so I choose to drive them most of the time during the week day.

[DWs97GST]

I love my 57 trim. :)

[motorswapman]

I like the 50 trim my bother has it on his 90 awd hits boost almost as fast as the 16g we took off the car and pulls alot harder I am using a 85mm t4 not a very good street turbo but its fun after about 5500rpm

[tsi2psi]

A small 16g is good enough for me.

[BlkWhtTSi]

bullseye 50-trim - decent spool and power capabilities imo

[dsmer125]

The FP green works good for me, I'm running it on a 6 bolt 2.3 stroker with a built head. lots of pull when you need it. kinda a bit laggy tho

[sireal]

HTA35r

[Moparismylife]

Hey I went from a 14b to a 18g and put down over 320 and that was a base tune. I enjoy her even more with it fully tuned....So 18g even if its not on the list !!!

[Wtfeeezy]

T
Heck I can be at 20% throttle and hit boost..:P

Nomie

There goes your gas mileage! So much for Daily Driving. :P hahah

[destrux]

14B.... cheap to replace ($100 for a good used one), easy to find, direct bolt up installation. More than 300 HP is overkill on a daily driven FWD (unless it sees the strip on the weekends on a regular basis). A ported 14B spools fast and is very controllable, and for under 300hp applications it really rips.

For an AWD I'd say a 16G though... the extra power is useable on an AWD and the 16G still bolts up and is fairly cheap.

I run a ported 14B on my car, and I'm happy with it. I rarely drag race though, or I'd probably upgrade to a 16G. I mostly use my car for blasting through the mountains after work. We have alot of twisty mountain roads around here. A fast spooling turbo with alot of readily available low end torque is a must for steep winding hills.

I guess it really depends on what you use the car for and what your budget is. There are alot of more expensive ball bearing turbos that would fill these roles better... but I sure can't afford a $2000 turbo. I don't know many people who can these days.

[redtalon55]

evoIII works well for me. Great turbo, especially for the price. Mine is fully ported with the upgraded wg flapper. Mated with a ported 2g mani, I really like it a lot. Gonna try and get 400 awhp out of her.

[braceyoself777]

I never had a 16g, but I'm wanting to switch over to 50% more CFM lol. But the 14b is probably an awesome turbo for everyday driving. I don't drag race much and I live in the city so alot of spirited driving is involved. Not alot of time to spool to 4K on a big turbo. lol Oh yeah, I get about 30 mpg too.

[aworldsdeath]

I like the 35r, although I have a GT3071 on my car now. I still flow between 46-53 lbs on a cold day. Decent spool, and heavy hitting... I like it.

[ibjamin01]

Holset super hx40w 6 or 7 blade with bep turbine housing. can make some really good pump gas numbers with that turbo and would be very forgiving on your tranny depending on supporting mods and sticking with 2.0 block

[3_eyed_talon]

PTE6262SP FTW.. I love mine!! A bit laggy but its the only train I enjoy getting hit by.

[u2slow]

The good ol` 20g.

[PandaTalon]

i have an ebay 20g but i'd choose a b16g anytime of the day

[oVaBoost]

50 trim would be a good choice can make awesome power at some awesome RPM's

Turbo supra reliable daily driver?
Hi guys, new to the Supra here. I have been thinking of selling my car and purchasing a Turbo Supra. I currently own a '92 Dodge Stealth R/T Non turbo, and I have had enough with it's problems and issues. Seems like I never get enough money to get any mods. Not worth the performance to me, plus FWD sucks.

I read the daily driver thread on another page and seems like people here are pretty comfortable daily driving these cars. I've read epinions.com and other car review sites and people seem to love these cars. I've only came across the headgasket problem which while costy (which I'm used to ), still an easy fix.

I'd like to please know what kind of problems these cars have and if its a good idea to drive them daily without any transportation at all. The difference w/ this car and my Stealth is that this will actually be worth all the money I put into it beacuse of the performance.

Any help appreciated

Hope to become a future MKIII owner.

Note: I do not have a garage, and do not have any experience with working on cars. I've done simple jobs myself, like plugs and wires, air intake, etc. But nothing major. Most of the time this car will go to the mechanic. It is a bit easier to work on with the inline 6 though (as opposed to V6 in my Stealth)

T3 60-1. Only 'cause I just bought one, ha.

[Octane]

16G is adequate for a DD nothing to over the top

[bzerkkiller]

If things go well, I'm planning on getting a FP Green. That should work well for the street and track...for now at least. lol

^^^^^^^^^^LOL

Twinscroll hx40 gets my vote.

[91turbodsm]

50-trim because that is what I have and also because it gives good power, good spool and is great on pump.

Andrew

[1Gand2G]

Right now I have a big 16g with a ported Evo III O2 housing. Ultimately though, I want to slap a T67 on it :tat:

[Don Boosted]

GT3071r. Ghey bolt on hotside. Sweet for the streets :)

[johnboy1065]

the holset HX35 or HX40 should be on the list.

[19tsi90]

I would say the whichever one your wallet can keep fed!!!!!!!

[kennyjr904]

A big one:D

[Mcd awd tsi]

I love the 50trim for a dd but my ww is a gt3586.

[wheelhop]

the holset HX35 or HX40 should be on the list.
It never is. . . But look at the date of the beginning of the thread. Alot has been understood since then.
