Just bought a t25, mistake?
Right now I have an IHI RHB5. I can pretty much feel this turbo make its max efficiency at around 65-6800rpms. I bought the t25 because it has only 30000kms on it. But now I am hearing they have no topend pull whatsover. Will it be faster than the RHB5, or shoudl I not even bother putting it on? I plan to run 9 psi.

Re:Just bought a t25, mistake?
If it was maxing out at 65-6800 what is wrong with that, what are you revving to?
I personally wouldn't buy a T25 to replace a IHI, there many be an increase but not worth the headache of moving evertyhing around.
Nothing wrong with a T25 in and of itself, but not a good upgrade for you. Sell both and get something bigger.

Re:Just bought a t25, mistake?
I have the probe RHB5 right now, reason to put on the t25 is because its like new, and probably wont burn oil like my RHB5 does. I am revving too 7000rpm.
The t25 looks bigger than the RHB5, when I forst saw it I thought it was huge compared to the ihi.
I am also thinking of putting on the t25 because the wastegate looks way better, my RHB5 creeps liek crazy, and I want to put larger exhaust and downpipe but I think with the rhb5 itll creep even more.
A local guy here made 205whp with a t25 on a d16z6, all i want is 180whp out of my d16a1 and Im happy.
Does anyone have any dyno #'s or 1/4 mile times with this turbo configuration?

Not exactly what you are looking for, but d16a6 with a t25 at 14-15 psi boost in an ef sedan with slicks. 13.0 in the 1/4. I think trap speed was 109 mph. Also, it was a stock bottom end. It was a friend of mine's car. The car pulled damn hard for a little t25.

Re:Just bought a t25, mistake?
Ok these are my goals,
180whp on a stock d16a1 runnign 10 psi MAX
The car weighs only 2000lbs so it doesnt take much to move it. I want it to pull exactly like the RHB5 with a bit more topend, and comparing the two turbos the t25 looks bigger.
This car is daily driven, not a drag car.

Re:Just bought a t25, mistake?
Thats actually another reaon I jumped on the t25, presh made awesome power with that turbo.
I think I just got discouraged because I searched up hondatech and all the rich *** ************* who are made of money "dont waste your time with a t25" they said the same thing about the RHB5, and I love mine, alot of them build there cars mainly for drag, mine is daily, it pulls like crazy with the rhb5, and im sure itll pull harder with the t25 (a bit at least) so i think im sticking with it.

Re:Just bought a t25, mistake?
with a nice manifold, down pipe, and exhaust the t25 has top end! i picked up one my my 90si and i came across another for chape so i picked that one up too! they a nice turbos and if anything... later if you want more power you can upgrade to a 16g!!! if im not mistaken it's pretty much a direct swap!! it's a good upgrade fot the 2g eclipses... i'm sure it'll be just as good in a honda!!
