Have a m52 built with 8:5:1 comp stock cams swapped into a e30. What size turbo are you drifters running on a 24v motor.. I would like to run a t4 frame but don't knw if this is to big..

I think a GT3582R would work just fine with a 0.82 A/R turbine housing. T4 turbos would probably be a little on the large side since you can't really rev the motor out beyond 7k RPM, so you might be trying to ride on a really narrow powerband which just makes things harder.

Unless you think you really need more than about 550 rwhp, I'd just rock the 35R.

Yea I heard of someone on here talking how it was difficult to slide his gt35... Maybe a hta 35r with the 63 tial vband housing well work... Or perhaps the 6262

I'd think a 30r would suffice, if not a 3076......huge powerband with that and even though small, she can push all you would like.

30R with 64ar or if you have coin a precision 5757 bb billet would be best.

I'm runing a t3.73 .63 & love it! Spools 15psi @ 2900rpm & keeps pulling hard.
I wanted to go bigger but after drifting with with it I don't think I'll ever go bigger . Maybe just a ball bearing one day.
It alldepends if u don't mind clutch kicking to get it spinning
