Default Best engine spec.
I am looking to put the engine of my saph into my escos but at the moment it is running a gt35 turbo at 7.8:1 cr. I want an engine whit max 480bhp and not to much lag like the gt35 has. What are your thoughts about this? What turbo and cams etc?

Gt35 is to big for the power you want! Go gt30 and an m.a.d cam/set up

exactly this (altough i'm sure a tony/reyland/bd16 etc cam would do the same) - plus consider a ST escos inlet

he doesnt need to change hes cams or timing just get a 3071.82 and a re map and it will be 500/500 no probs!!

He has hart inlet and a much nicer inlet than a bd16 with solid lifters etc

I would go with a GT3071 like i used or maybe the 3076 if you have a ported head. Why are you limitng yourself to 480 bhp? Seems an odd number to aim for.
