newbie question - b16a, CRX, which turbo?
 

Sorry for the newbie question, but most of what I've found pertains to the D series, not B. I have searched and read a lot (I've been lurking a while before registering) and am going in circles. I have a 91 CRX with a B16A swap that I want to turbo on a budget. This is a daily driver, not a race/drag car, and the motor is stock. I plan to use Turboedit or similar. I want to keep the AC. I'm trying to figure out what the best turbo to use would be. I need a physically small unit since there isn't much room even if I use a 1/2 width radiator. From what I've read the mitsu's are too small performance-wise for the B engines, and I think the T3/T4 is too big to fit. So T3 seems best. Would the .42 .48 work well, or would it be too weak at higher RPM? Would there be too much lag on a larger T3 such as the .60? Thanks for any advice, and for not flaming my newbie-ness

@xpert787, thanks for the link. I had actually read that before, extremely informative article, I just went over it again. I still wasn't sure about my question though.
@Paul99EX, honestly it was partly because I read in the "newbies read before posting" sticky (of a different forum evidently, but I got mixed up and thought it was this one ::) ) that newbies should do that and explain that they did search, sorry it bothers you.
@alwaystootall, thanks for the info. How bad is the lag on the .48/.60 on a B16A? I know I'll have trouble with the AC, but I'm stubborn and hope to make it work some way. I'm in VA and summers are high 90s with lots of humidity, I need AC. My plan was to get an AC compatible manifold, use a 1/2 width radiator, move the AC fan to the front if possible and reverse it or remove it if neccisary. I also planned to use a small FMIC, so there my not be room for all that...

No, its just every damn noobie says that, but unlike you, they dont search...you basicaly you can be the exception ;)

on my b16 im running a t3- .48/.60 . i thought this turbo should have spooled up quicker, but i think i got like a stage 1 wheel or something.im running a rev hard cast manifold,and if i would have notched my block and pointed the outlet of the turbo up, i might have been able to get away with keeping the full size rad. i dont think a/c would have even been a thought. i had to use a half size radiator,and i mounted a slimline fan on the front of it.
