hi i have a d16z2 engine ( EDM sohc) i have a garret .38 / .42 turbo.
the turbo spools 2750 rpm till 5500. its a little to small.
no i can get a big turbo for only 50 bucks including 3"downpipe, and a probably an EGT sensor.

is the .63 turbine / .60 compressor to big for my d16z2 engine?

I also have an IHI RHB5 VL4 turbo. it came of an Alfa Romeo 155 2.0 TD its alot smaller, but i cannot see any a/r ratios.
ill probably use this turbo for a VW golf 3 with a 75hp 1.6 engine.

any sugestions?

if that 60/63 is in working condition for 50 grab that ******...it will be a little on the big side imho but it will work. I had a 60/48 on a sohc that i liked, im sure the 63 would be a great choice too

the 60/63 is a great turbo for the z6 and even the y8. but for some reason im thinking the z2 is more like the a6. i don't know anything about the d16z2 but think i might have read somewhere that its pretty similar to the d16a6. if thats the case i would use the RHB5, i think that turbo would give both benefits of fast spooling and hold the power longer. thats just my opinion though. i would still get that turbo for $50 if you can, then if you want to upgrade later you will already have it.

60/63 is a perfect choice.....

thanx for the quick reply's

the d16a6 is the same as d16z2. botch SOHC nonvtec, and about 112 hp. d16a6 = USDM. d16z2 is EDM.
its a CRX si engine. all the 1.6 civics in the netherlands came with an d16z2 engine. (or b16 for Vtec).

it is a turbine .63 and compressor .60 so its a .63/.60 not a 60/63 or doesnt that matter?

@Darkelvis :
THATS A BAD *** MANIFOLD, and engine !
I have a DIY ramhorn with external WG (4psi now, and Adjustable)

@ what RPM does boost kick in with d16 + 63/60 setups? 5000 +?

about the ihi. i think its to small, althoug its a RHB5 (ballbearing turbo?) its a vl4 type, that came of an 145, 145,155 alfa, all 2.0 Turbo Diesel. As far as i can remember the boost startet at 3000-3500. ( we had a 146 2.0 TD years ago)
The internalWG is set @ 1,2 BAR !! way to much for me, but I have an external WG so that doesnt matter thoug.

on my a6 the 60/48 was at full boost by 4k, now on the 60/63 I heard that is 800-1000 rpms later, but that also depends on your exhaust, and other things. Just run it and you will love it. It will pull like a **** on the top end!!!!!!!!!

i had a 48/60 on my old y8 setup and it was full boost by about 4500, not sure how much longer it will take to spool your 60/63 since your motor has a little less power then that motor.

-SKUM-

It all depends on his manifold (tube/log/or top mount), exhaust size, and chargepipes/intercooler, and ect.......

lock-pop!

---- if you dont want it i willl take it

taiajam

i have a DIY ramhorn manifold with an external adjustable WG (38mm valve.)
ford transit intercooler. 50mm cold side, 70mm hotside (going to change that to 60mm).

ofcourse i will take the turbo!
i also think it wil pull like a sick ****. since all the stock power starts at +4500 rpm and the turbo will spool at 4500 rpm. im soo looking forweward to the power ^^
