Godspeed Turbos???

[Brian BK]

Whats up everyone am looking for a turbo upgrade for my RB20 and my buddy told me about the Project GodSpeed website and i was wondering if there was anyone else out there using any of these turbos and how are they?

Did you try google? I did and found a bunch of different people using Godspeed turbos. They are just like ANY OTHER CHEAP ASS TURBO. Some people have good luck with them, some people don't. If it were me, I wouldn't waste money on a turbo that is that big of a question mark. You can easily find a solid, used RB25 turbo to beat on for cheaper than that ebay junk. If you want more power than the 25 turbo can produce, Holsets are stupid cheap and make BIG POWA!

Yea bro get a holset. Super cheap... Agree cheap with big power ^^^^

Good info guys thanks. And i would try to google it but im out on deployment right now and internet sucks!!!

rb. best bet is to use the holset hx35. shouldnt lose any spool time.
ebay sells them for cheap.

google up also what people recommend for rb20s

Some people want to get away from the ceramic turbos though, you could also get z31 vg30et steel wheel turbo. Or like 4-20sx said a holset but try to find a hx30, the hx35 would be super laggy

edit. looks like he hits full boost in 2nd gear around 4k

If you've got an RB20 you want an HY35. I had one on my 20 and loved it.

FYI- an HY35 is basically the same turbo as an HE341...the 341 comes off of a newer Dodge than the HY.

EDIT: That video posted above doesn't tell you much about how that turbo acts. That guy has cams, was un-tuned, and only running 7 psi. Holsets don't like to spin that slow. My HY didn't even start really pulling hard until about 15 psi.....at 12 psi it wasn't that quick, but after 15 you better hold on. I used to hit full boost (~18psi) at around 4000....I wasn't tuned either, though.

I'd spend the money on the right product the first time than have to spend it twice to get the same result. Save yourself money in the long-term aspect of things. Buy the right product the first time around. Skimping on important things like a turbo is only going to spell big trouble.
