Default turbo choice for stock lq4?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have seen a lot of folks picking different cams for there lq4s but I was wondering what turbo you guys would suggest for my setup, its a 70 chevelle with an 06 lq4 all stock,th400,3kstall,3.73s. id like to not change the cam I figure I can still get a lot of power without one, maybe a t76? or gt45? a set of 60lb injectors and a good tune? id like to not get into changing rod bolts and the like unless absolutely required

Pt7675 will get spooled quick. Have you considered going with a smaller gear say a 3.23?

S475 with not to big exhaust side so to spool quick be biggest bang for buck and be reliable. 650 dollars. I got the 96mm exhaust turbine and 1.32 ar version and full boost at 4000 on ls1 with cam.

I have a gt45 on my lq4, definitely gets the job done for the money.

S475 with the 83mm turbine and 1.10 T6 or 1.25 T4 ex housing if you plan to stay 750 and under hp. Go the bigger 96mm turbine if planning on more hp down the road.

I'm on e85 and out of injector on 12 pounds but I plan to turn it up soon. I just have a ls9 cam, pushrods, and dual springs. It's the same eBay gt45 everybody is running.

I have a 4.8 in my 70 Chevelle, CTS-V pan and summit mount adapters. I have a pair of Ebay turbos with .63 exhaust housing and they spool pretty quick. I just haven't had the car dyno tuned yet so I haven't figured out how to get the 60' down. I put 3.08s in the rear and the 4k stall heated the trans up so I couldn't drive the car around my hilly neighborhood. I put the 4.10s back in and the car went 12.60@116.97 with a completly stock engine.

So many different ways to go. It gets confusing trying to find a turbo. I always go talk to jose at forced inductions he never steers me wrong.
