A true T70 has a couple different housing and wheel options. Figure out exactly what you want to narrow it down. I can get my hands on a lot of turbo stuff. ---

As far as t70’s go, obviously its a 70mm inducer (compressor wheel). The back end is where you get to play around. Tangential or Oncenter housings, O P or Q trim options, and A/R’s including .50, .58, .69, .70, .81, .84, .96, 1.00, etc. Q trim is more, ball-bearing is more… I’d have to call for prices. > [@custom civic for sale...siq](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/custom-civic-for-sale-siq/30916/48): > > I plan on building a sbc Single turbo motor in my lifetime > 1 Big one is better then 2 small ones… it will simplify the setup I kinda dissagree with this. I have a sbc i am eyeballing for my 81 corolla drag car and want to do twins. The manifolds will be easier to make, the power will be easier to make, the spool time will be more street friendly and easier to tune (no gigantic spike in power at higher, more scarey rpm). hey, 1 bigger might be better than 2 smaller, but 2 bigger are better than 1 bigger!!! ---

what is o p and q trims?what does the trim mean? and i am going journal bearing because i am trying to do this as cheap as possible, master power has three different t70s they go for 590 a piece which is reasonable, but they sell ebay ones for like 250.00 which i know they are junk but is there anything you can do to these cheap turbos to make them work better ---

the trims are garrett’s designations. id have to google a bit to find the actual trim numbers. Journal bearing chra’s are fine, 360’s are probably manditory b/c that cid motor will certainly be spinning those suckers hard! I had a master power turbo on a vr6 golf a while back, a 60-1 model. it was a good turbo and had a good power range. I just dont know much else about them. I think the term “you get what you paid for” applies… b/c those turbo’s at 590 can’t be just as good as a turbonetics that runs 1500+. ---

i have been raeding alot about blow through carb turbos and the people who run them have good results,so i plan to go that route until i have the extra cash for the efi. i dont see a problem beause it is so low boost. also with twin turbos you add the psi from both banks together?
