Have had a quick look on the net as I am bored. Looks like this tubby is used on some Mental Supras. Interesting site here:

http://sr20det.nismo.org/bigturbos.htm

Suggests it could be used on a 200sx with enough mods (and very deep pockets)

Greddy T78 and T88
These turbos are made by mitsubishi and modified by Greddy, the T78 uses a TD07 exhaust housing with a TD08 compressor, T88 has TD08 on both sides. T78 is capable of an insane amount of power, at the cost of monumental lag, although with a stock motor, the T78 may make full boost in the mid 4k range with proper tuning. T78 can make ~750 rwhp on the turbo alone if tuned right, you do need electronics, a higher rev limiter, cams, probably headwork... T88 is good for maybe 20% more power... this is one of the few turbos that is theoretically capable of flowing enough air to approach 900 rwhp, although you would need a SERIOUS engine build up to do this. Ara from NJ has run 141 mph traps with a T78 w/o bottle, Humberto has run 9.8@14x with T78 with nitrous, and a number of other people use the T78 as well, mainly because its quite inexepensive today, selling for under $4k. The downside to the T78 and T88 is that they need ALOT of work to get them working to their potential, and they lag into the low/mid 5k range for the T78 and even more with the T88, a car with this turbo is almost non-streetable in my opinion.

you really really wouldn't want to run that on a 1.8 and I'm not just saying it'll be laggy - the compressor surge of it trying to run on such a small engine will probably kill it in no time at all

Sure you're right Andy. Just out of interest tho, the site I posted above suggests you could use that tubby on an SR20DET if it was modded enough. Are those 0.2 litres going to make that big a difference?

Not arguing, just interested :)

OMG!!! :eek:


SP90, Y2K, T100

This year, a number of drag only turbos have come out... the SP90 is a turbo used on 7 second doorslammer grand nationals and mustangs, although it is supposed to spool up pretty fast, I kinda doubt that. I would imagine this turbo makes boost in the 6-7k range, but its capable of 1400 rwhp... the Y2K is a huge turbo as well, MVP/PHR made ~1200 rwhp with this turbo w/ alcohol. The T100 has never been used on a import to my knowledge, but it would be capable of well over 1500 rwhp.

Sounds like fun :)

If the engine is strong enough and you wanted major boost, sure run the T88 - you'll have a hell of a drag car but then you'd be running it flat out in each gear and surge won't be an issue. Try and drive it around town and you'll find the major downside with having an overly-large turbo :(

It has been done..

One of my favourites!!

:cool: Buy it (and an SR20DET to attch it to) and get drag racing road kill ;)

Ahh I wish they had video - I'd love to see how a 10.2 second 200sx launches :D
