Unless of course it blows. Forged pistons won't help you if you don't have fuel in check by the time a large turbo like this gets into it's proper efficiency range. The motor is the least of your concern if you can't reach 60' by the time your differential pukes and spews four letter words from everyone who was planning on running after you. It is in this aspect where you could quickly go from weaksauce to brokesauce. Glory doesn't always go to the "No guts no glory" guy if he can only make one run before calling AAA to tow himself home from the track.

BTW:
2.755 or 70 mm


and:
2.155 or 51.20mm



51.20^2x100/51.20^2x100=53 just like I said.

well ill be using some 750 or 1000cc injectors, so the fuel will be there.

my only consern with this build. as with all my other builds, is obviosly spitting axles and trannies. but as far as the motor is conserned its pretty much bulletproof as long as i dont go too too crazy with boost.

Ya don't worry about it.


As soon as you hit 88mph, the flux capacitor will allow you to time travel to 2672 & find a mutant with the power to freeze an object in time. Then you can have the level flute from super mario brothers 3 send you backwards in time to 2015 (the amount of time it takes a Honda to spool a GM-. When the turbo get's into actually compressing air. Have the mutant freeze the turbo in time. Now you go warp speed around a star, backwards, to jump back to when you first step on the gas & install the new boosting turbo!

That way, you don't have to worry about turbo lag!




I hope you have a Mr. Fusion tho. Honda's are only able to output about 0.54 jiggawatts. It'd really suck if you did all of the work then couldn't enjoy it .

That was retarded. Thanks for making me more stupid by reading that.

Josh, the turbo looks good, you sure did rape the person you bought it off of Is this going in the Integra or is there another ride I don't know about? Regardless good luck to you with your project!

Hi,

If anyone is planning on parting with their GM series turbos, I may be interested for my supra. mullenc525@hotmail.com. Good turbo or a core.
