best turbo for 2.3L
#17
2.3 hta 35r I am sure I will be happy with this but really been thinking if I get something else, it will be a GT40R if you are power hungry do that, even though a really built 35r can do allot of damage.

currently doing my 2.3L build and ready to buy a turbo kit now. i was looking into a lot of different kits, just not sure on which turbo i should run since the car is street driven and not a track car. I wanna make 600whp on pump gas. i was looking into the GT35R, HTA35R, HTA37R and GT850R. Not really sure on which to choose. I want it to spool up in the 3500-4000rpm range. Just looking for opinions on which is my best choice.
really looking into the ams kits or the ets twin scroll manifold kit.
Thanks for the help in advance

What octane pump gas will you be using? I don't think you can get a turbo that does 600whp and 3500-4000rpm spool on a 2.3L on pump gas. I have a 2.3 on a 3076 and I get that kind of spool but nowhere near that whp on pump.

HTA35R I think is going to be the Best for what you want. Make tons of power and has a fast spool up on a 2.3 and feels so good You should be able to do 600whp with pump 93 without problems. GL man

TS GT4088R probably comes closest.
HTA86 or 6262 can possibly meet your power goals on pump but will need a .82 hotside so they wont be spooling 3500-4000rpm..

my main goal is to break into and past 600whp, but i just don't want to spool at 5500 rpm's lol. i need a good street application turbo that will get me into the 600's

On my 2.3, I have used both the gt4088r and the hta37r, I love the spool on the 37r with .63 exhaust housing. Im making 451hp and 394tq at 25psi with that kit and with my 4088 I made 428hp and 361tq at 17psi. Both turbo's can make over 600hp easily.
