word, got my 42. 48. from a volvo for $50 from the junkyard with a garrett rebuit tag and had a friend machine down the stupid recessed exhaust inlet down for $10.

 

inside the comp housing outlet = .42.

inside exh inlet = .48

or the other way around

 

That's right. That turbo could be a .36/.42 also. It's unlikely because all the .36 hotsides I've seen had that funky external wastegate off the exhaust housing like the Mercedes turbos, but I remember some of the Renault turbos had a .36 hotside, or maybe that was Peugeot. Either way it's a 45 trim T3. Definitely perfect for a small displacement 4-banger with horsepower goals in the 200hp> range. You should be able to get your 170whp easily with a proper tune, proper fuel support, and no leaks.

 

Nice thats what i like to hear, as long as i can beat all the n/a b16 civics round here ill be chuffed!, Everyone in my area keeps banging on about getting a b16 but they dont realise if i blow mine up its like £200 for a low miles d16 or like £1000 for a high miles b16!
Turbodftw!

 

Honda turds tend to neglect the logic train.

 

Christ i dont actually understand half of what you guys say lol.

 

He meanings your every day Honda boy thinks Vtech b16 are super fast . They fail to realize d-series+10psi= turn you out .

 

Aah i get it, i wish a bunch of you HMT guys could ship your cars over here and give these b16 guys a proper *** whippin lol, I suppose ill just have to wait till mines done.
