<----needs turbo help (i read stickies)
 

ok I know this is my first post but im not turbo stupid.
i have been looking around on this site for a little now.. and i read all the stickies so can you help me
ok
I have a 95 ej1 civic coupe b16a stock bottom end itr cams itr manifold itr tb and arp head studs and a new oem HG and TBelt
i plan on turboing it this fall and I need some help reading compressor maps or some help with lag and spool.
I would like to use one of the easily aquirable t3 units prefferably from a ford or saab application.
Im having trouble with picking a size. I searched and found very few vague answers. I have narrowed it down to the .42/.48, the .48/.60, and the .60/.63
I guess what im asking is where would these 3 achive full bost and will they hold it to the upper RPM's. im looking to boost 6-8lbs. I really dont care what hp #s i get from this and really want the power to be very linear and I dont care if it holds boost till redline. I rarely ever go there. I just want some more oomph.
2nd question
my father has a 93 civic si hatch with the d16z6
does anyone have pics of or links of a d series turbo..hes using the .42/.48 T3...with air, ps, windshield washers and fog lights...hes 55 and would like to keep these creature comforts.. any help would be appreciated

check out the turbo projects section on the left....im pretty sure there is several pictures that will give you a good idea on how to keep those comforts.....as for compressor maps im pretty sure there is a sticky that tells you how to calcuate and read those as well. u sure you read them all?

Re: <----needs turbo help (i read stickies)
 

i'd def go 60/63, because the big T3s are awesome when you engine can spool them. looking at full boost and spooling @ <3.5K rpm, with tune and big exhaust :6

i read them but unfortunately i dont speak chinese.....er math so can someone help me simplify it or just make som recomendations based on experience like RPRZNT im not trying to short cut and not do the resaerch myself but i dont have a lot math skillz im a welder fabricator by trade so the fab/install should be a breeze..I dont want a dyno queen...stock sleeves....and i dont want it to run out of breath at 6k
the .60/.63 is a large D series application right so with the Dohc and the same displacement it should be close to perfect right?

Re: <----needs turbo help (i read stickies)
 

the .60/.63 is your best choice of the ones you listed because it wont lose efficiency on a b16

Re: <----needs turbo help (i read stickies)
 

yup .60/.63 FTW!!!!!!!!!! :)

finally came over to the darkside huh Dan. LOL, take most things over here w/ a grain of salt, someone can call you a ------- ------ or homo in this thread and the next be your best friend, bunch of weirdos that wish they where boosted, i think more are unboosted than boosted, but anyways, good luck, PM me.

yeah i figured it was kinda that way, I just wanted to see if any one had any real world experience....like i pull out of the drive way and it hits X pounds by XXXX rpm and holds it to redline and I get XX MPG and i pull mustang GT's ;D like there nothing.....not people sitting around with calculators and pen and paper saying.... well this should do this and that should do that..but thanks to every one who contributed...oh and IM LT. DAN BITCHES lol

yeah, X=X, duh..... check out the turbo projects link on the side, there are a few B series guys here, actually a good bit. its more 50/50 on B/D than anywhere else, nobody is preaching either.
