im planning on upgrading my turbo in my 2.0 turbo sunbird(my car is gunna be heavily built), does any1 have any suggestions on which turbo i should upgrade to.. has any1 ever upgraded and got massive results on JBODY? i dunno wat do u guys think
i dont think the 2.0 can handle a bigger turbo i mean isnt the t-25 the same one used in the 95 eclipse?(or something like that) honestly just intercool it then add nitrous to keep it running cooler also gonna want a getrag tranny if you dont have one, stay away from underdrive pulleys on this engine from what ive heard. check out darkmucks website, also with the turbo might want to go to the muffman and get straight pipe ran back, and youll need manual boost control

i run a td06 20g....works fine. with a stock head it lags a bit, with a mild port and polish it only lags to around 3 grand.
WARNING: I bring nothing to the table.
The T-28 off the Grand Prix turbo is a great, easy upgrade and is worth about 20-30 hp. They pop up on ebay once in a while.
Do yourself a favor and don't listen to anybody who hasn't worked on one of these things or at least blown a couple of them up. For a car that so few people modify there's so much bad info out there it's incredible. By all means check out Darkmuck's page, that's where a lot of the people working on these cars go.
Good luck,
Tony

I have a .60/.48 T3 from a Turbo Thunderbird, and it's awesome. Fully spooled between 2750 and 2900 rpm.
thanks for the input everyone, i just checked out dark mucks website and i got a lot of info out of it. wat would be the biggest turbo i could put on my car without any lag?
lookin around for turbos the one i was interested in was the T-3 Super 60, does any1 kno if that would lag my motor, is there a better turbo??
no1 has any advice for that?
t3s are pretty small it shouldnt lag much. you'll more than likely need to make an adapter though.

I'm going to a .60 / .48 T3 like Shawn has. I'm glad to see he likes his so hopefully I'll have good luck with mine. You will need an adaptor or a different manifold like Norcal said if you go to a T3.
