What do you guys think about using a T04E turbo, .58 A/R and 46 or 50 trim, on a Ka24DE?
Would a T04B be a better choice?
Or would a T3/T04E, .63 A/R and 46 or 50 trim, be better?
By "better" I mean what will spool quickly, easily produce about 300-350 rwhp, not hit too hard, and be reliable on the street without being overkill.
I would support it with Tial 35 or 40mm wastegate, good recirculating BOV, intercooler, walbro 255lph high pressure fuel pump, 50lb/h injectors, fuel rail, JWT ECU, Cobra MAF, MSD ignition, etc.
Thanks

if you want a quick spool, dont go with the striaght t04's because that has a t04 turbine. you want a t3 turbine. if you go with a t3/t04e it would be good for mid-to-high boost. if you want a quicker spool then go with a t3/t04B H3 with either a .48a/r or .63a/r with a stage 3 turbine wheel.
just so happens i am selling one just like that. boost starts at 2400rpm. great for a max boost of 18psi or it will choke up the motor after that.
as for the t3/t04e with a 50trim, it will have a little more lag, 3000rpm, and will hit hard. great for boost up to 22psi.
for high boost go with a t3/t04e 60trim .63a/r stage 5 wheel and that will spool at 3800rpm-4400rpm( really need the ball bearing ) and hits even harder, of if you dont want the t3 turbine then go with the straight t04's
maybe like a t04 60-1 hifi. really made for drag and motors with more than 2.8L but nobody can stop u from putting it on <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>
i hope this helps you.
BTW: i am selling my turbo for $525

Not sure how well they do on 240sx but for the FD the To4E is a small turbo but has good spool up. But they again the FD produces a ton of exhaust gas energy.....not to sure how a 4 banger will do.

our 4 bangers dont produce enough exhaust energy so therefore a t04e will spool at a low rpm but hit hard say 3800-4400rpm

OUCH that sucks....My T04S spooled at 3200 but then redline is 8k.
Yea don't get a straight T4 ....
HKS makes a bolt on sport turbo to the stock manifold and piping...
GT2530 or GT2540. If you want quick spool up the GT2530 will be good. But then again you have to give up your first born child to afford it.
