new turbo civic
 

I just installed a t3 turbo on my d16y7 minime. I get like no boost till 6700 in first and 6000 in second, and its like nothing. The max I was able to put out was .48 kg or boost according to the afc. It does have a frontmount. I dont see a leaks, except for the downpipe. It a big leak. Im using chrysler 2.2l t3. Would that cause it.

if you're using an internal wastegate, make sure the arm is pulled tight.

What is the trim on the turbine of that turbo? You said it's a T3 but what size....48 .63 or .82?

Re: new turbo civic
 

the dodge T3 turbine housing A/R would be either .48 or .64

Re: new turbo civic
 

48

WG flapper might not be fully closed or boost leak somehwere

Re: new turbo civic
 

if the wg is in the o2 housing/dp...a leak there will cause this problem

thats what i was thinking, I have to figure out a way to seal it. The sensor housing is a ball seat flange. I bought a ball seat flange kit from flowmaster, and now it leaks very bad. Ill try some sort of gasket

The turbo to displacement shouldn't make THAT big of a difference in this case.... like they've been saying, it's either a WG problem (stuck open somehow) or a leak somewhere in the piping.
