Need opinion on Turbo size
I have a Mitsu T-25 in my possesion that I am looking to install on my 99 Civic Si. I bought it blown to have it rebuilt and installed but from what I see the T-25 is a bit small for my motor.
So I was talking to someone about having the turbo upgraded to a T-28 and he said that it could be done and it would be more than enough for my motor and boost level I want to run (5-6 psi).
So what do you guys think, does this sound right? Would it be a good idea to get it done or should I look into something else?
Thanks !

A t-28 would be just fine for a B16a.. But I think the price you are going to spend on the rebuild maybe more than you expect..
Also the factory wastegate actuator is set at 8psi... Not 6
You will need to modify the shaft or get a differnt wastegate actuator to boost that low.

Well I had this whole post here about how I wanted to use this turbo and what not but I come to findout that (just finished reading another thread below this one) that the HKS manifold won't fit the US DSM T-25.
That just saved me some money huh? Guess that I am going to have to rework my game plan.
Thanks guys !

ok all mighty here is the sise you want. the t-3/t-4 turbo from the volvo 740. they sell on ebay starting at $100. im not shure if it will bolt to your manifold but this is the size you want. this thing spools up at 1200 on my d-15. and the wastegate is adjustable from 0 to 12psi. had 10 on my car before the (incident). i have 4 1/2 on my car right now.

I would have that problem too if I wasnt such a big gaping puss, and run low boost all the time.
My vote is for a T3 from a Ford or Merkur manual.
