id get something bigger

Re:d16z6 with ihi good set up for top end
 

Z6's lose power after 7 G's anyway, so if the turbo drops off after that too, it won't really matter.

My Z6 pulled hard all the way up to 8k. But yeah if you want highway power you'll want a bigger turbo.

ihi turbos are small as ---- and i would never use one in my opinion!!! the smallest i would go on any d-series would be the t25 from the 2nd gen eclipse. that one should be ok to pull you to redline. actually, i lied, just ------- get a 1st gen eclipse turbo, tdo5-14b. those are bigger and would be perfect for your motor!! either that one or the t3 42/48 which i have and is great!!!! pulls hard all the way up

yeah i was woundering about that too but damn my IhI is so clean lolz hmm i also got the TE04H but i can see oil and ---- on it so i guess it leaking oil or something so i didn't want to use it . what is the stock honda civic speed limted 130 mph ? that all i got up to >:(

Make sure you have a free flowing exhaust and you should have topend.

ihi cut out on my car by about 5700 rpms. damn thing is too small and flows dog ---- for cfms. i run a t3 48./60 now and that my friend is some top end

I'm going with a 2nd Gen DSM T25 on my Y8, mainly for canyon racing, i'm not sure i'll have as much on the top end as i'd like to, but i'll sacrifice for a bit quicker spool and a decently efecient upper range

Re:d16z6 with ihi good set up for top end
 

From what I understand, the IHI turbo's effective range is @ 2200- 5500 rpm (just look at the engine range of the car it comes in and the redline -- stock ford stuff). I personally run a .42/.48 T3 and I hit full boost at @ 3600 rpm and pulls until rev limiter kicks in....12-13psi easily gives you highway top end IMHO!!! Now I digress, as most people now know that the IHI is a good street car turbo, and the T3 and bigger for drag and highway racing.....
