Ebay Turbo setup recipe
I have the stage one. I had a stage 2 btr which is close to the summit stage 2 and I took it out and put a stage one. Much happier with it. I prefer a quieter, better driving car. The idle has to be higher with the bigger cam and it would wake everyone up in the morning when I cranked it. It was louder and lumpier. Now, no one gets woke up. and keep in mind you don’t need a big cam to go fast with a turbo.

guaranteed to make the guy at autozone impressed

quite frankly I don’t give a poop what people say about something when I’ve personally experienced it. Not that it matters, but I used to work at cam motion. Does that make me an expert? No. But I’d venture to say I’m no dummy when it comes to picking a bump stick. Sure. I’ll ask people’s opinions, wanting answers from people who have actually used a cam I may be interested in, but if someone chimes in and says “o that cam is this or that” and never even used it....well I don’t tend to listen to that.
replying to the above post by slow sedan. Sure, you can mess with timing to alter an idle, but that’s not the way I like to do things. I shoot for the strongest, smoothest, most stable idle I can attain at the lowest rpm I can and it not have problems dying or dipping. And when you do that, it doesn’t always idle lumpy or not lumpy. So yea you can fudge it, but I don’t. The power band of the smaller cam that I have now is much better. It pulls just as high rpm as the bigger cam, probably because the lobe sep is higher. I don’t like a low lobe sep anyways. I feel like a higher lobe sep is more forgiving in a street car that isn’t purpose built.
ive never really REGRETTED going with a smaller cam, just maybe decided I could have gone bigger and made more power, in naturally aspirated combos, but I will tell you, the one time I listed to someone else on cam selection, I was unhappy. Very unhappy. I won’t do that again, I knew better and that’s my fault.
anyone feel free to pick apart what I say. It’s cool. I expect it. I don’t know everything, but I’ll usually post from experience and if it’s not my personal experience, I’ll post where I got my reasoning from. Like in another thread. I recommended a muffler to someone. I’m running that muffler and I have tried others. I also stated that there was an independent Dyno test posted that included that muffler and it showed literally no power loss. So I posted that along with my personal assessment of the muffler.

O I know you weren’t. You were saying how people did that to you. I said that in case they wanted to try. Me and you, we cool

I should have mentioned none was aimed at you! Or anyone else who’s posted so far!
And as it has been suggested the turbo 7875 (chinese ebay )
Keeping stock intake and bottom and heads.
How much HP could i get out of this setup?
with the stage one, you could probably make more power than your bottom end would hold. I’ll venture to say that stage one or two isn’t near as important being turboed vs na. Depending on fuel system and boost, 600+ won’t be hard. At all.
