My goals 10-11 sec car. Its going to be mostly street driven and taken to the track not so often. Ive been looking and 20g's and 50 trims and ive heard good and bad about them but I just recently looked at the SCM-6152 and was kinda interested. Any imput is fine thanks.

I would go with the SCM61. You would never have to upgrade again. If I were you, I would definately upgrade your downpipe to 3". Now I have a question for you, why are you running 3 fans?

[1ViciousGSX]

How many threads do you need to start to determine which turbo to get?

[CVD]

You dont have to make a new thread every time you have a new question about a different turbo. Just FYI.

You need cams first. You won't get the full performance from the SCM61 without going to a sheetmetal intake and 3" downpipe also. And if you want the full performance of the 61mm compressor wheel in that turbo, then get a SC61 with a T3 exhaust housing, T3 exhaust manifold, an external wastegate, and a good O2 housing.

[HiImBrian]

Ecoli is right. Nobody said it was gunna be cheap. You cant just get a bigger turbo and expect it to get you into the 10s.

[gsxer]

ok cool thanks ecoli for the exhaust housing would .63 A/R better or .82 A/R be better? And for the compressor cover what is the difference from "E" and "S"

And your right M.98GSX nobody did say it was going to be cheap not even me?

[rst95eclipse]

Why 3 fans?

[Halon]

With the level of questions you're asking, you shouldn't be looking at anything larger then what you already have.

[gsxer]

Sorry, first posted fixed I have 2 fans.

[JET]

The S is a larger compressor cover, I have one on my SCM61, but it probably doesn't do much, the exhuast housing is the limiting factor. If you go with the SC61, then it would be more of a benefit. The .63 housing will be somewhat limiting, but the .82 housing will be laggier and flow better.

[scheides]

OT but that car does have 3 fans; it's my old car & it had some overheating probs for a while & through the course of things it ended up w/ a double-pull 12" FAL and one 10" SPAL pusher. It will never overheat again now

Cams and a SMIM are going to be a must if you want to run low 11's. A gt35r or SC/SCM61 will be probably necessary to. If I still had that car it'd be getting all of the above, probably a bigger turbo tho.

[gsxer]

ok thanks haha

Is the SCM6125 a good street turbo? or would the 20g be better for more street driving and racing?

No that one smells like rotten apples.

But the SCM6152S is a great street dsm turbo w/lag. SC61 with a stage 5 wheel. Good for 400+hp on pump on a 2.0 with proper tuning.

[Halon]

Have you done any research at all?

[b00stcreep21]

I vote no. Google is your friend dude
