D16Y8 Turbo question.
Hi, I'm fairly new here, and my knowledge of turbo's isn't that great, however after contemplating many possibilities for my engine, a home made turbo seems to be the cheapest and most powerful solution.
I do a ton of city driving. I would say about 85%. My car rarely sees above 3000 rpm. What i need is a really fast spooling turbo. Something that spools between 1000-1500 rpm would be perfect. Problem is, i dont know if such a turbo exists for my d16y8. I have tried searching, but the results are for different engines, and there are many mixed opinions.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Re: D16Y8 Turbo question.
I'm not looking for big power. What does the rhb5 stop making power at 5k? 6k? I'll probably never see those revs.
I just want a car thats nice to drive. A bit more umph down low, and faster acceleration around town.
Also, if i were to put an rhb5, say from a probe, onto a bone stock d16y8, what kind of numbers would i be looking at. Just an estimate. Would it be a 14 second car at the quarter mile?
Thanks.
