Guys i am in a dilemma here. At this point my 2g 4g63t is a stock rebuilt, running td04 turbo with a 2g maf, stock fmic, 450cc injectors, 2.5 inch free flow exhaust, upgraded fuel pump, misc gauges, boost controller etc. I intend to change the turbo and the fmic setup. I already have the fmic, but i am not sure which turbo to go for.
I have both Holset Hx35 and Evo 8 16g ( with the evo 8 twin scroll manifold) available with me. First thing is that the evo 8 turbo is fairly new, came off a friends evo, and is much more trust worthy. However, the Holset was picked up from the market and i am not sure how long it will last, no shaft play whatsoever.
For the time being i want to swap the turbo, run mild boost to keep it safe with 450cc injectors. In the future i would upgrade the injectors and add some fuel control device.
Which turbo should i go for? The holset or the evo 8 16g? And why? I have no issues in rotating the evo 8 turbo to make it fit in our engine bay.
I "think" other than rotating the evo8 turbo, the oil feed and return pipe will remain the same. Not sure about the the water pipes but they can be made to fit. Other than that a new intake pipe, connect it to the 2g maf, work on the exhaust, and i am done. However, there is whole lot of work with the Holset.
What do u guys advice i should do? I want to install a good turbo now so that i dont have to upgrade it in the near future. Goals for now are 300hp after changing the injectors, and in the future probably around 350-375 hp if my block holds.
Would like to beat some Honda's around here running on b16 turbo setups.
