1st.. this is my daily driver!!
2nd.. it has 26" wheels on it
3rd.. i am leaving the lq4 BONE STOCK for as long as i can stand it...lol

ok.. Stock48 and Kbracing96 have talked me into turbo'N my daily driver but i im trying to decide on the turbo now...
my truck foot brakes 2000rpms and i will also be using this truck for towing as well... i have 4.10 gears in it (basically 3.73 w/ stock tire height my 26's are 33.2" tall) and i just want a turbo that fits my wants... ALL of them will meet my goal/wants or 400-500rwhp but i do not want the truck in boost every time i am driving around normal.. my whole reason for going turbo is so i can have power when i want it and it still get the fuel economy of a stock truck!! when out of boost of coarse.. my original plans were to do a 224/226 cam and all supporting mods.. but i would rather turbo and fuel economy..lol
i am thinking
MP-70 .96a/r T4
MP-76 .96a/r T4
BW s472 1.10a/r T4

what are ya'lls thoughts on this... if you think another turbo would suit my need better tell me but look at what is in common with these turbo's.... CHEAP!!!

 

I would go with the BW and with the larger AR. You would be able to be out of boost and still able to conserve some economy. Just my thoughts.

 

i think this is all you

When I first put the turbo on the 4.8 ecsb, i increased my MPGs around 4 mpg. It was a 62-1 with a .96 A/R

 

How did your mileage increase...? A turbo is an exhaust restriction..

 

increase efficiency? i know i picked up mileage in my srt8 jeep when i put the vortech supercharger on it.

 

2 tone has the turbo you need, if not buy mine and I will buy his! thats a decent deal for turbonetics 76mm! I am running a 70mp and my mileage isn't great but its better than before the turbo. I can drive it all day and never get into boost unless I want to!

 

Backpressure increases efficiency now?

 

more torque+ lower rpm= increased efficiency

 

Honestly Yesh its restrictive but Your not considering how much more power it allows the engine to make, Thus power:weight ratio becoming more favorable for decent fuel economy.
