Can anyone tell me what kind of turbo to use on a 2000 5.4 I think they are good to about 6 lbs of boost. I cant seem to find one on the web and a hope that someone knows a turbo that i can use.

 

start by looking here

you going to custom fab all the piping?

 

Ya its what i do. I just don't know what turbo to use. I'm looking at a t-67 s from Garrett.

 

that will be too small.... go with a t76 atleast

 

what would i have to do to my engine to support that? I'm only gonna run 10 psi at the most.

 

10 psi with a turbo will be a lot of power. rods and pistons will be the first thing to go.

 

HI!... You'll need :

Pistons :



Rods :



Arp studs :



High volume oil pump :

 

Turbo is the way to go.
Turbo > Supercharger any day of the week.


It depends alot on what you are looking for. Larger turbos with bigger compressors take more to spool fully, so you are looking more towards a top end setup, or a smaller turbine with quick spool (which means tire smoke and more pressure on drivertrain)......

But nothing beats the sound of that Turbo whistle, and that open dump at WOT.

 

Yeah if money is no object. But I have to disagree, I Love instant tire shredding power right off idle

 

Think ya'll are overestimating what the OP wants. The 67mm turbo used in the PTK setup is plenty. Think the .81 A/R turbine housing is recommended too.

 

You can create that with a smaller turbine.
My last turbocharger had a Tial (titanium aluminide) turbine wheel and spooled to full boost at 3100 rpm, and thats with going WOT at 2900rpm

Turbos blow the doors off Superchargers on top end pull/power
Turbos offer many different trims for your needs,
No parasitic drivetrain loss
Variable boost from inside the cabin at the push of a button (conservative to race)
No pulleys and belts to worry about.

Turbos FTW!

 

yea i agree, i almost did a turbo instead of my s/c but money was a problem. I would much rather have a turbo setup, but i couldnt be happier with what I have. Much less maintenance

 

Wrong. Don't ever play that card with turbochargers. There are pumping losses associated with them and they do take power from the engine to run. It is significantly less than a supercharger but 10 - 15 hp should be expected.

 

Pumping loss?

I am going to have to disagree with you. There is no parasitic loss with the Turbo. Maybe you mean backpressure and not "pumping loss" and with that, the only time you will encounter an issue is if dont know what you are doing and use the wrong turbo for your motor.
