Volvo turbo on b18a
I've already been searching on here and the net for weeks now for info.
I'm putting a volvo turbo on my 90 Integra. I don't know which turbo I have because the tag has been removed. It looks like most of the turbos out of volvo's that I'm seeing on line, its very small,I know its a t5, It has the same bolt pattern as a t3 but has a weird round hole (which I have already made an adapter for it). It was given to me. so I thought I should just use it.
I'm running in to some problems with it. for one thing, the oil feed and return kinda look weird, maybe its just me. I already made the lines for them. but I just want to see some pics on which is the return and which is the feed. Just to make sure I used the right holes for the return and feed. and I'm using a .060 oil restrictor, is that good for this type of turbo?
I'm having other problems, but most of my problem will be solved by just looking at someone elss's build using this turbo. so if U have a b-series with a volvo turbo plz post a link to it or a pic. thanks for help in advance.
I'll try to post some pics up when I get a chance.

I'm thinking about dishing the volvo turbo for this one: eBay Motors: 2.3 Ford Turbo T3 T4 SVO Thunderbird NEW No res (item 270373837300 end time Apr-20-09 12:07:16 PDT)
what do U guys think. my goal with that turbo would be 250, reliable hp.

with the ford t-bird turbo, you im pretty sure you could hit 250 with room for improvements
i just installed the volvo turbo you got on my b18b. I've looked up specs on the turbo and found out that its a straight t3 .42/.48 50 trim from a volvo 740(well the one i have at least) and its good up to 275hp(or so i've read).
I know there is a smaller 45 trim but im hoping that the 50 trim i have will be able to pull till redline or at least near it without dying off . Probably gonna run 10-12psi but gonna run stock wastegate until i get my wideband setup in a couple days. Using a tune from xenocron's .bin directory labeled "new turbo civic map" which uses a t3"super"60 which is a tad bigger than the 50 trim so i believe it should run fairly decent for now as long as i dont beat the ---- out of it.
