Im trying to figure out some good setups for the FC

Its winter time. So I have time to plan such things out. haha!

Setup #1

Street ported 13b
Running a 50/50 leaded 110 octane and 93 pump fuel mix
Alcohol injection (25%, Im not all to sure about running alky)
E6X
GT35R (61mm)
3.5" DP
Big FMIC
Big Radiator
1000cc pri, 1600cc sec
(Supporting mods also)
15psi on 93, 20psi on race gas pump gas blend


Setup #2


Same motor
93 octane
E6X
TO4E
3" DP
FMIC
850cc pri, 1100cc sec
17psi


Can anybody give me a few guesses of what kind of power each setup might produce?

the first one is ***** to the walls with the alky inject and there is absolutely nothing wrong with a GT35RE i run one myself and i love the spool up at idle, the big radiator will be good for cooling purposes

however the T04E is a bigger turbo by far and would let you see the power you want if your wanting big

i personally run a GT35RE with a full 3in exhaust, aftermarket radiator, 720c pri, 1600c sec, i also run both aftermarket fuel rails with a fuel pressure regulator on it, front mount set up and lots more, im running about 425 RWP. i personally will be running the haltech plat 1000 which is a full stand alone right now there is a group buy going on for it right now that is a great deal i can get you in on if you want in? itll be cheaper than the E6X and it wont be a piggy back and itll eliminate much un-needed stuff and will allow for better performance.

And I've always had trouble understanding the TO4 series turbos. And how much more each series performs.
I have a TO4E O-Trim right now.
Would a TO4R Be a better turbo to run to make 450-500hp? Or would the lag be so bad it wouldnt be worth it?

There is nothing in the TO4E line that will make 500 hp. The 60 trim compressor will make 400+ but you're probably never going to see over about 425 under the best of circumstances. The TO4R will get you to 500 if that's your goal. Lag will depend on the hotside setup and intake port configuration mostly. With an average street port and a TO4R you'll probably see full boost around 4000-45000 rpm. The TO4E 57 or 60 trim will spool more quickly when used with a like sized hotside. If you want a quick spooling, fun street turbo, the 57 or 60 trim with a P trim turbine wheel and a .84 hotside housing spools very quickly and is good for high 300-400 whp.

Maybe I will go with a TO4R then, rather then stressing out the TO4E.

My cousin ran a T78 on his 13b, and even that was too much turbo.
I was thinking about just putting on an F3 Procharger. lol

i feel that prochargers are good for like V8 applications that is my own opinion though i have seen many people that have LT1 or LS1 camaros or TA's and they work awesome, i have a Z28 with a LT1 and i prochargered it ****** halled and then the old engine wasnt handling it so i just replaced all of it got a LT1 355 now instead of just the 350 with a 250 shot just in case someone thinks their a real bad *** and i wanna put them to shame real well, funny thing is though my RX will stomp it, all bout that power to weight ratio YAY suckas

Oh yes. I was just joking around. An F3 is a huge blower. We just finished an install of one on an LS7 that was in a 68 Camaro over the summer. Got to take it out for a test drive. 75mph punch running slicks, and it would still **** the tires off!
Im sticking to an N/A setup on my mustang though. Big blocks are fun enough.
