is this setup overkill
 

i have a ihi rhb5 on a hf manifold ,cca fmic with 2.5 charge pipes ,dsm 450's,smc dual,2.5 downpipe into 2.25 to the back with no cat engine is d15b2 + d15b7/y8head (being built) i want a t3 later down the road what do you think

Re:is this setup overkill
 

sounds good, fast spooling

I don't think that's overkill, you could go with bigger exhaust though. what's the size order of these turbos: 14b, rhb5, t25. I'm just wondering, I think the t25 is biggest and the 14b is in the middle, but I want to know for sure.

i like that setup 100 percent single cam power .... my next setup will be d15....go fer it

Re:is this setup overkill
 

kyle: the t25 used on the dsms is prob a little bigger than an ihi, but smaller than the 14b. the "other" t25 is bigger than all of them i think

so which motor is in there now?..the b2 or the b7?

Re:is this setup overkill
 

the t25 is much smaller than 14b

the t25= to about a 13b

Re:is this setup overkill
 

that setup is far from overkill. looks like a nice little street tiddler setup ihi doesnt offer much..

Up to 250hp 2.25" is sufficient. I know a lot of people who would spend 2x as much and go for a 3" to gain 5 hp.

thats a sluggish post

3" exhaust will make the turbo spool MUCH faster do the the car breathing that much better, you will gain much more than 5hp

and be loud as hell
