i wanna turbo my SI, and want to keep ac and ps. basically 300-350 whp once in a blue moon track car.

as of right now i have the following
- 1st gen avc-r
- 6inch jrc intercooler
- blox turbo manifold

............................................
what else would i need
............................................
- (cant decide on a turbo)--t3 super 60 or a t3 .42 .48 but not sure--
- some dsm or rc 440cc injectors
- what is better (uberdata, hondata, crome)
- might use a revhard downpipe (but is has a t3/t4 flange)

got about 3k but might be using some for full coilovers

thanks for input in advance!!!!

uberdata is free.. but if you have the cash, go for hondata.
I plan on going with the super 60 when I turbo my car.

Don't forget that you need a wastegate... and you're probably going to want a blow off valve too.

the super 60 would be your best bet the t3 .42 .48 will spool somewhere around 3000 making highway driving a b***h and kill off your highway MPG

i say dsm injectors because you can get them off of ebay for around $70 - $80, but if you have the money get the rc injectors because they are brand new.

hondata is better, but uberdata is cheaper. once again... if you have the money, go for better.

for a downpipe, if you get the revhard it comes with a t3/t4 flange... why not just get a t3/t4 for a turbo?

turbo size doesnt have an effect on mpg as much as people think. the only time you go into boost is when you have a load on the engine. if you are cruising down the highway, there is almost no load and therefore you are actually be in a vaccum and still get good gas mileage.

no size dosent matter, but when it spools will. What i am saying is that the super 60 spools later keeping the map from reading boost and dumping in gas

but when you are cruising down the highway, you are not in boost. unless you are flooring it all the time, he will not be using more fuel. also... before any turbo i was getting 32 - 34 mpg... when i had the rhb5 i got 36 - 38 mpg... now with the t3/t4 i get 33 - 35 mpg

My two cents you shouldnt try to hit 350 on a stock motor. Okay ive seen 300 on a stock motor (or atleast stock bottom end i forget) tuned on uberdata. 440's wont be enough. If you want the best management go with stand alone like aem, power FC, cheaper way go hondata or go uberdata
