Low RPM / high torque I have a LQ4 that I am building for my jeep. I am looking for low rpm (<5000) and torque off idle.
Most builds on here are high rpm so it's hard to pick a turbo off these threads.
I have a hx55 from one of my diesel engines. Will this spool up in my rpm range (1000-5000) and give good torque?
Or should I sell and look for something else? Ideally I'd like to hit full spool by 4000-4500 rpm.
This vehicle will probably never see over 80mph.

Depends on your typical lol.
If typical is a brand new billet BW turbo with full custom stainless manifolds etc etc etc. Then nope, a blower is probably cheaper.
If typical is a cheap used turbo, with factory cast manifolds adapted by yourself, then maybe the turbo is cheaper.
Unless you can find a good deal on a used blower setup, which I'm sure there are plenty out there.
But if you need instant power from very low rpm, a PD blower will be your best bet.

Is probably the most common. But there must be half a dozen or more variations around that theme/design

find a TVS1900, thats your best bet at getting all the low-end grunt you need. Note 1900 and not 2300, the smaller blower makes more low-end boost.
Then you can get a custom torqey cam that is specced for your set-up, requirements/goals
