How do you guys feel about t3 to t4 adapters? Ive heard its not smart to run them. Just looking to get some advice if anybody here has used one.

 

First off, what are you looking to put a T4 on? Your profile says accent. Even if you have a beta swap, a t4 turbo is too big in my opinion.



Secondly, The only problem I would see with an adapter is pushing the turbo to low to properly drain oil into the pan unless you have a manifold that sits the turbo quite high up.

 

Yeah I am beta swapped. From some research I have done I was told a T4 would be ok if I kept the boost down low.

 

a 30r/52lb.min turbo is big for a beta full boost at like 4800rpm, we only rev to 6800. t4 frame turbos wont spool If you want to pick a good size turbo research what some of the guys on here are running and pick accordingly

 

even with a beta, I would never run a T4 turbo, you will spool so late and then by time the power kicks in, time to shift. I would go with something around a hybrid 50trim or 57trim if you are wanting something bigger than the super 60s or a straight t3.

 

Aside from bragging rights, what purpose would there be in a having a monstrous turbo in a tib? Let alone on low boost.



Which specific turbo are you looking at and what power goals?
