hey i heard that with the ball bearing turbo's you dont need to run any of the oil lines. i hear they dont need oil is that true. if so i think i will go with a ball bearing turbo then. anyone know any good ball bearing turbos and where can i get one.

Coolant lines, no coolant lines.

every turbo needs oil. some superchargers are lubricated internally by a "resovoir" and don't require oil lines but it is essential for turbos.

ball bearing turbos are very expensive and their benefits are usually longer life, no coolant lines necessary like EMC said and quicker spool time

They are really expensive and usually crank out some serious HP. The t3/t4 turbo is prolly one of the most common ball bearing turbos out there

FK it. Why not go with the custom dual ball bearing gt42r :thumbsup:

hey thanks guys. i had a t3/t4 on my 95 gs and didnt like it to much so i think ill go with something else. thanks for the help guys

what hp goal do you have? do you want to change your exhaust manifold or do you want a bolt on turbo?

Too much power? Not enough power? Too fast a spool? too slow? Let us know so we can suggest something else

well i would like to get about 300 - 350 at the wheels. right now im just looking for something to bolt on due to a small budget. im changing the i/c to a front mount instead of the side mount and getting a 2 1/2" turbo back exhaust. i want enough power without rebuilding the whole engine. how much hp can the 4g63 hold up to with stock internals.

Ive heard stock internals can hold around 500hp. For that hp goal, why not go with a fp 20g? Has decent spool, of course you will need all the supporting mods with it, like any turbo upgrade.

a 20g is overkill for that. The evo iii 16g is "rated" at 350 hp.
Look at a few of the garrett 50 trim +. Those will take you to 350 pretty easily.

stock internals can hold ~400hp safely.

not for dding tho

thats correct but he didnt say if he was gonna use it as a dd so i just gave him the highest numbers possible lol :P

EDIT: personally I wouldn't go over 325hp anyway since thats ideal for what i love: road courses. :D

it will be a daily driver. i plan on going to the track a few times but i want enough that if someone pulls up next to me trying to race i wanna know that i can take them.

keep it on the track dont be stupid and race on the streets.

i dont plan on doing a lot of street racing. i cant afford the speeding tickets. i just want the hp so incase some mustang or some other v8 pulls up next to me i want to know that i could take him if i wanted to.

Ball bearing turbos also spool up faster and are more efficient.
