Things have changed and I need a T3 flanged turbo now.
Details:
-looking to put down 220ish whp
-low boost threshold (w/10-14psi)
-quick response
Engine:
-1.8 dohc
-9.4 cr
-83x85mm b&s
-pressure ratio of approx 1.9 (@12spi) and 2.1 @ 14psi
-340cfm @12psi 366cfm @ 14psi
So what turbos fit this bill? Any recommendations?

| I have a Z31 T3 if you're interested. It may not be quite as responsive as you might like but there aren't a whole lot of options for smaller T3s than this turbo. With your compression and displacement you should have full boost by 3,500rpm. |

| t3 super 60 from dodge, cheep |

The dodge has a different flange, one of the holes is offset.
I'd go for anything thats a stage 1 .48AR turbine T3 turbo. For the most part, I'd figure most of the compressors will fit the bill. |

| I was thinking a super 60 or t3/t04E, just wanted to gather some opinions.:) |

I'm pretty sure.. a .48/.42 Would almost be perfect.. maybe something a TOUCH bigger?
:dunno: |

can i be interested in that turbo as well?:thumbup:
BTW, a guy with a turbo accord has a compression ratio similar to the miata, but it spools up at 4500RPM usually, and its also a 2L |

im sure it would be a great turbo to use, but i dont think he wants to spend 1.3k on a turbo(unless he doesnt have a spending limit) |

If he doesn't.. Then get something like a GT2871.. Something Bigger than the Disco Potatoe..
It'll still spool just as quick.. But Produce WAY more power.. and keep the Intake Temperatures WAY down... :thumbup: :thumbup: |

| seems as if all the GT turbos are out of range for the typical entheusist. i still think something like a typical T3 out of any car should be good enough. he wants good response and about 220whp, so a small chrysler T3 should be good for that, but it would be pushing its limits though |

| I'm a big fan of getting something a little larger than you initially want, that way there is some room to grow. |

Well that depends on what type/style of manifold your using and alot of other factors. |

Ya I'm not looking to spend $1G on a turbo. |

The plan was to use a shelby z turbo but I think I'm gonna be out of an efficient operating range, so maybe something alittle bigger.
Maybe I should add that the miata is mainly going to be lapped so long durations in boost will occur, thats why I want to go slightly larger turbo (keep temps down). I don't want to over-run a smaller turbo and have my temps going thru the roof in 10minutes. |

As I recall my old K26/6 at 1 bar of boost is capable of producing 360cfm at 70% efficiency....
The turbo is oil and water cooled. |

is it a regular T3 turbine inlet flange and 5bolt outlet flange? |

You wish.
:D
If you like to fabricate this is the turbo for you. |
