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. &nbsp;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. &nbsp;If you want quick spool up the GT2530 will be good. &nbsp;But then again you have to give up your first born child to afford it.
