OK first off I'll welcome myself here by showing the project car and it's donor in the background:

Pics always seem to get views for whatever reason......

So the setup will be:
- '91 LX Civic, full interior, even some extras
- '92 LS OBD-1 motor
- 9.2:1 SRP pistons, .020 overbore
- Eagle H-beam rods
- All OEM rebuild (stock LS gaskets, seals, oil & water pumps)
- STOCK rebuilt HEAD

I want about 250 hp daily. This is a daily driver, not a track star. Not interested in insane top end, nor the ability to rev past 7k, because of stock non-vtec head. However, I DO want boost to kick in low, preferably full boost by 3k rpm.

Question is: which turbo best suits my needs? Currently I have a manifold with a T3 flange so that'd be convenient if it would bolt up. I need specifics, like trim and a/r please. Gracias

+1. Welcome to HMT.

if you already got the block fully built with heavy duty internals, I say go for a t3/t4 and aim for atleast 300whp at the minimum. welcome to hmt.

Car looks clean On a LS a T3/t4 57trim would be a decent size turbo.

with a built B you'd be wasting it's potential with a straight t3, btw super clean ride

Agreed. Go for at least a small T3/T04b.

Or sell me the 4dr!!! What rims are those? The honda Centers are a nice touch? And are those Auto Seetbelts? My old 4dr didn't have those!!!

OK, so I won't need to rev higher than 7k to take full advantage of a T3/T4, eh? Should've known you guys would talk me into big boost :P I just want to avoid a 2k rpm powerband or some ----......want it streetable you know?
^ With this turbo specifically, when could I expect full boost?

And thanks for the comments. It's the pig of all 88-91's, auto seatbelts & all. I expect with the teg's brakes & LS it's pushing 2500 lbs without me inside.
Oh and for those of you 2002 enough to still be rocking Rotas, '05 Odyssey centercaps are a near perfect fit. Beat the hell out of the cheeseball ones that came with Slips.....

Well, you maysee it mid 3k. But using anything less on a built b-series would be a waste. Possibly if you don't want to go to a Hybrid turbo, Use a t3 Super60 or a .60/.63.

Thats a sexy clean sedan. I'd rock that think in a heartbeat.
