a/r 63 t3 bb too big?
 

i think i kinda went overboard but im just about to slap on my new turbo into my sohc civic. its a garret t3/to4e .50 trim a/r 63. ball bearing. any input on this turbo for my STOCK y8 would be greatly appreciated. oh yeah...im coming to you uberdata geniuses for my tuning...im ditching the svafc finally! After 1 year of reliable services from them. see you guys soon. just put in your 2 cents on this turbo. im thinking the a/r is a bit large...delaying my spool time...but top should be a good kick in the ass...right before my low red line..lol.

Re: too big for mini me?
 

That turbo will hit hard up top.

Re: a/r 63 t3 bb too big?
 

wow...nothing from the og's of turbos.

Re: a/r 63 t3 bb too big?
 

I think its to big for that 1.6. so why dont you sell it to me for my b18 ;D. I've got a t25 on it right now and it fun but I need more up top. I also have a air research t3 ar 42/48 that Im going to put on as soon as bmc sends me my down pipe flange that I ordered almost a month ago but Ill be glad to trade you ;D

my buddy's running the same turbo on a z6 and it hits super deluxe hard up top O0........fully spool 10psi by 5k or so

Re: a/r 63 t3 bb too big?
 

Being a BB turbo, that normally can drop spool time by about 1000rpm compared to a wet bearing style.

But I do think selling it to me would be a better idea!

Re: a/r 63 t3 bb too big?
 

Seeing as everyone wants it. you may as well keep it... If it sucks, get something smaller.

Delayed spool is called launch control ;D

haha....thanks for the info guys. well see on the turbo then. buying another turbo tomrrow....might sell this one by the end of the week. ill keep you guys posted. ill post here before i go to the wonderfully overcharged ebay.

Re: a/r 63 t3 bb too big?
 

launch control? lol, at a decent boost level, say 10psi, I bet your wheels will start spinning around 5k in second gear and won't stop until 3rd.

Re: a/r 63 t3 bb too big?
 

anyone elses uses this on a d16, what rpm does it start spoolin and what rpm does it hit full boost :)

Re: a/r 63 t3 bb too big?
 

ill have it in by this weekend. ill let you know....this is only on the 450cc w/ afc hack @ 10 psi. im hoping to see max boost by 4-5 at the latest.

Re: a/r 63 t3 bb too big?
 

Pulls hard on a d in the the upper R's, I like mine it never dies it just keeps pulling and pulling.

Re: a/r 63 t3 bb too big?
 

it depends on what your goals are..if you are going to the drag strip frequently and are focused more on drag racing I would keep it.

Re: a/r 63 t3 bb too big?
 

does bb turbo really spool up 1k faster?

Re: a/r 63 t3 bb too big?
 

WOW....spools by 4. the lower rpms in 1st is a bit slow but after that....wow...i can only say " me necks gonna break" it just keeps pulling and pulling. got to 110mph too fast, and passing up ppl on the freeway is just too easy. i can just floor 5th and zoom.....OMG....i love this thing. you guys got to try this one. im @ 10 psi only and this thing is so dam consistent. after 1st....its all power....no lag, nothing. omg. i love this! o yeah....about the 2nd gear thing...yeah....i spun on 2nd and alittle in 3rd. ill try something stickier and wider soon. but the power diff is amazing compared to my 42/48.
