Default Turbo suggestions for my motor

I'm close to needing a turbo and need suggestions.. the car will be a weekend type driver 95% of the time and maybe a few 1/8 mile runs..my build is .20 over 109 block unturned crank, J.E. Pistons, 2 center billet caps, RJC gridle,rollmaster chain, studded bottom end, 224/224 roller, 1.60 scorpion rockers, ferrera valves, ported alum GN1's, Bhj ex.balanced balancer, high volume front cover..was told that a TE45A would work good..to be honest I really don't know and need good suggestions..I'm trying for the perfect combination..thanks

Question Re: Turbo suggestions for my motor

That is a BIG cam...

Stock crank, or billet?

I'm concerned that if the crank is stock, it will be somewhat of a "fuse" in your combo. Do you have a particular HP or ET ballpark you are looking for?

convertor will depend on turbo ..thinking around a 3200 or 3400.. injectors will be 120's on e-85 with modded ECM

That's all pretty race car level stuff. Sounds like its good well into the tens. A TE45 or even better would be the newer style garret 6776(?) .. Basically an updated version. You might consider ball bearing center section to help with spool or with that big cam it's going to be a soggy ride on the street IMHO.

I hope everything in the fuel system has been changed out to stainless steel with blue o rings otherwise that E-85 is going to corrode the entire fuel system. I recommend you call PTE or Limit about the turbo.
