N/A IDI Turbo Conversion

[Thewespaul]

Haha youre all good, the organization of things on the site can be a little confusing

Does anyone know what turbo the banks kit uses? Specificly the turbine inlet pattern.

 

[BlueHound]

Because I’m trying to decide if I should go with the banks kit or spend the extra money to go with the stage 2 kit from R&D IDI.

 

[Thewespaul]

The banks kit will be maxed out at around 250 hp, if you want to make big power I would go with the stage two

 

[BlueHound]

What if I get a different waste gate, Or a different turbo?
By the way do you know what the turbo inlet pattern is on the turbo?

 

[Thewespaul]

The banks turbo is internally wastegated so you would have to replace the entire turbo, many people have run the banks kit with upgrades turbo but I prefer the R&D base to build off of, the banks is an older design

Listen to what people are saying. The banks is easily out of its efficiency range with a turned up stock pump.

turbo flange is t3 on all turbo kits offered for the idi, other than r&d i belive. he may have a t4 on the larger kits

 

[SebastIDIan]

Yep, without decking the head and at the least checking the block I feel you are wasting your time just replacing the headgaskets

Coming from the land of 6.0s and HG failure I can second this. And a half

 

[BlueHound]

So Any T3 flange turbo’s could go on a banks kit or I could put on an adapter plate for a T4.

 

[Thewespaul]

If you put an adapter plate you wouldn’t clear the firewall

For good psi, I was really impressed with a S360 with a .63 t3 exhaust housing on Banks piping. It would push 35 psi without any strain on 110cc of fuel; and it felt like it had a lot more to offer.
The .83 housing on the same turbo...sucked. would barely spool.

I’ve also been unable to find upgraded valve springs for my truck.

 

[Thewespaul]

Comp 910 is the part number

 

[BlueHound]

How many shims, if any, do I need to add? And how much boost can they handle?
