Thats seems like some good info. I was thinking about the same. I used to be into dsm's before i got my honda's. The 20g he is looking at has a 16g turbine housing though. I don't know the difference between the turbine housings of an original 20g vs. 16g

the 16g housing will make spool a little better but not all that much!

The 450s are fine on that car.they will be running at about 60% or so,so their will still be room to hit 300hp if he builds the engine.people here have been using those things for a long time with no problems.

Re:A few questions about a 20g (I've searched!)

from what i understand, the greddy 18g is smaller than an actual mitsu 18g. so can i please have the cliff notes of this whole 20g on a b16 thing? as i am thinking of doing the same thing.
i know these turbos support mad power on dsm's, but what would be the max hp attainable? Spool time? (definitve answer or semi-educated guess) will it survive the upper rev range? (again, definitive answer or educated guess)

Thanks.
