Guest thejamman12 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Whats peoples thoughts on running a garrett gt4294r turbo on a standard block with 264 cams? Reliabilty will it produce a decent drivable road car? Spool time etc Im looking around 600 bhp and any advice would be greatly appreciated Edited February 6, 2014 by thejamman12 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Way over sized. 6266 will suit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thejamman12 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Yea seems the opinion ive been hearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetrashcanman Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 4-5k will be on full boost its an 850-900bhp turbo really with the right supporting mods. If you want something driveable, I'd try maybe something around a GT35 or one of Paul Whiffins small turbos like a BW360 non billet you'll have boost by 3600rpm or a BL 360 Billet full boost by 3700rpm and a 500-700bhp capable turbo.

johnny g Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 For a street turbo like that, I'd be looking at the HTA3582r or the GTX35r. Perfectly sized for the road, and 550-600bhp capable, with relative ease and great spool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Whats peoples thoughts on running a garrett gt4294r turbo on a standard block with 264 cams? Reliabilty will it produce a decent drivable road car? Spool time etc Im looking around 600 bhp and any advice would be greatly appreciated I ran a GT42-76 with a stock block and 264 cams. I made 778hp at the hubs at 1.5 bar. We could have went much further but the fuel pump maxed out. Was an awesome setup. Started pullbg really hard at 4500 rpm and was at full boost at 5500 rpm in 3rd gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thejamman12 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Sounds like a good set up.. do you not think the one i me tioned is a bit big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I would go smaller unless you plan 850 bhp. The 4294 is understressed at 600bhp ... and will only add lag compared to turbos that are smaller and push 600bhp at higher boost settings.

Chris Wilson Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Lag! Did I mention lag? Oh, and it'll be a laggy mess. Area under the torque curve is what makes an awesome road car engine. Ask anyone who drives a modern direct rail injection turbo diesel....Or has driven a current shape GTR. Big BHP figures do NOT equal awesome road performance. GT30 or GT35 is what makes a torque monster, IMHO. I have fairly big twin turbos on my Skyline, with fairly long duration, high lift cams. It's awesome on track, awful on the road. These huge BHP 2JZ-GTE engines are amusing to build, but not so amusing to drive day to day and usually seem to be broken or sold on pretty quickly. Build a coherent package, not a dyno sheet.
