Biggest turbo to work with CXracing hotside ?
Biggest turbo to work with CXracing hotside ? Looking for info on the largest turbo that will fit with the CXracing hotside.
I have a LS3 in a 4th gen and Im thinking of ordering that CXracing hotside, intercooler kit with a 80mm or T4 88mm turbo
The T76 would be too small for my 6.2 causing back pressure to be too high.
Any info would be great,

I'm using the 88mm PT knock off from VS Racing and I am hoping to get it back under the car soon. I do have a feeling I will have to install a stand up radiator with pusher fans. nice clearance with the turbo installed, I'll try to post some pictures when I get home, but I posted pictures on my build thread if you want to check them out.

scroll down a bit, I posted pictures of the turbo mounted. I also cut off the flange for the Wastegate to put a V band so I could run a Tial Wastegate versus the one CX racing comes with.

You should be worrying about the turbine side.....IMO any T4 turbo is going to create back pressure problems on an LS3. The CX Racing 88mm only has a 77mm turbine. Smaller than any Borg 400 series.

there are a few cars running 600-800rwhp with this turbo on 4.8/5.3/6.0, I can't vouch for the LS3....but that should be plenty for the street and should spool nice and quick.
Also, I haven't measured as I bought this turbo for cost and with seeing good results out of it, I wanted to give it a try. Mine is the 88/83 so the turbine side should be at 83, although I have not personally taken the turbo apart to get a measurement.

The new S369 will fit... and it flows like the big cast S475... or so they claim. I'd go with it. Can get them for $600 + the exh housing.
