Unhappy Turbo questions...?? need advice

Just getting into turbo more... right now running all motor LS b18b...I've got a stock block.. but I have head mods on the car

My questions... Would a Garrett T25 be worth my time or money?
I can get one for $100... rebuilt great condition

I have crane stg 2 cams...can these be used with turbo.. low boost....???

and I would be ok running low boost on stock internals until I could afford upgrades right???

1. No.
2. They CAN be, but you wouldn't really want to.
3. Yes.

i wouldnt use that turbo, its a waste of time and money especially considering you wont be able to find a manifold that is flanged for that turbo.....

Those cams will actually make you lose power on a turbo app... turbos need a shorter lift and longer duration to make their full potential and those all motor cams you have would not do any turbo justice....

and I think that even on stock fuel you would be ok to run about 6-7 psi on like a 50 trim t3t4 but that turbo will also give you plenty of room to upgrade later and it works beautifully on the LS....

Hope that helps

backwards, higher lift, low duration for forced induction.
high lift high duration all motor... depends on where you want the power.
what are the specs on your cams?

T3/T4= the turbine(hot)side of the turbo is a T3, the compressor side is a T4

u can find a set of ls cams for less than 20 bucks, i would use those and make some money off the ones u have now.

and ronin is right, u want more lift instead of duration. duration is the amount of time the valves will stay open per cycle, if theyre open too long you increase the chances of higher cam overlap(when the intake and exhaust valves are open at the same time) and the boost can just blow right thru the cylinder and never be combusted.
