if its a straight T4, its too big. a T3/t4 hybrid will work but is still pretty darn big. single slammers dont need huge turbos, they dont flow the air you need to spool it.

A T4 is not too big for a four-banger, but it is too big for our 1.7 SOHC's.

i am also looking at a greddy 19t. it this turbo more suited for a 1.7
thanks

a gt40b is way too big for 1.7 maybe a bit big for a Kseries but if your going to see full boost it's pretty much a non-ball bearing gt42 give or take sum. Are you looking to sell it?

ya its a little big. i am running a t3t4 and i spool up at about 4500 and thats 8 psi...either sell it and get maybe a straight up t3 or build a k series and throw that on....

Thats a better option, good up to about 300HP, but its gonna require a custom manifold with a mitsubishi flange.
You'll have an easier time with a straight up T25 or T3 flanged turbo since you can pull a manifold off the shelf and use it.

thanks for your help guys. so what im looking for a t3t4 hybrid turbo?

It doesnt sound like you know what you're looking for...

ya it might fit under your hood but it doesnt mean that you will spool fast at all.. it is a 1.7 ltr engine and not unless u have low compression pistons and a cam and sleved your block then i really wouldnt go any bigger then a t3t4..

I'm thinking its time to read the FAQ... figure out a power goal, figure out what you want the car to do, and then start doing some individual parts research. Now, you're just fishing. And don't buy boost parts from egay.
