t-25 d16
 

i am in the works of turboing my d16 w/a t25 and was wondering if u guys had insight on how much power max could run max on stock internals and not detonate and hp power #'s or quarter mile times done swaps but never turbo'ed ,i admit im a nub to this but would apprecite the input from the guru's on this. >:D

Re: t-25 d16
 

2 second quartewr miles and 14 bazillion Horesepower. I think u need to do some clicking of the search button. I am not a pro or anything but be prepared for a lot more flaming. U havent even put what car this is going to or anything dude.

Re: t-25 d16
 

Whats a nub? :1

Re: t-25 d16
 

Re: t-25 d16
 

10 psi: 200whp at 14.0 sec quarter mile. ??? I dont exactly know, because it hard to pull random numbers outta the air, but that sounds about right to me.

Re: t-25 d16
 

i think the t25 is too small for that motor. personaly, i'd go w/t3

Re: t-25 d16
 

depends on lots of things such as motor, what psi you're going to be running at, what the whole set up is, etc...

Re: t-25 d16
 

Agreed. I did it once, wouldnt consider doing it again.

Re: t-25 d16
 

I was planning on starting off w/ a T25 and when I got it and realized how small it was, I sold it lol. Now I've got a T3 42/48 that Im going to be running. It's not much bigger but big enough to see the size difference. I say sell it and get a T3. You can get a nice 42/48 anywhere from $100-$185 bucks. The T25 should give you really good torque but it will fall off up top and you're pretty always going to be boosting since t25's can start spooling as early as 1900 RPM lol

x2

from personal experience my buddys mini-me crx had a world of diffrence when he switched from a t25 to a sabb t3 .42, i say atleast go for a 14b you will thank me and oh yeah

SEARCH or ill put a curse on you

Re: t-25 d16
 

Depends on what you want out of it, i had a t25 and it spooled up pretty fast but you can't usually go much over 10 psi and power started to drop at 6k too

Re: t-25 d16
 

Wow talk bout newbs flaming newbs!!


t25 will be fun for about 2 weeks and then you'll wish you went bigger!

Re: t-25 d16
 

wow dont know why you sold it but hey i have a t25 at 5.5 pounds and runnin 14.5 in a quarter mile with a ek hatch...sorry never had it dyno though

Re: t-25 d16
 

just to offer a different opinion:

i have a t2small on my z6, running about 15psi... which drops to 12 by redline ::)

but anyways, i like it. fast spool, which is what i wanted. if i can fix the boost problem ill be quite a happy camper.

Re: t-25 d16
 

i am gonna be running a t25 setup @ 12psi on my a20a2. i was told its not gonna hold above 4500 rpms, my car only reves to 6200 rpms, the car is a 12v 2.0 iron block so i say it can hold the boost. i really dont see the motor pushing the air flow of a d16, or a b series so i hope the boost holds clost to 6k. this will be my first turbo setup so i say the t25 will be fine.

Re: t-25 d16
 

Problem is that turbo would be a heat pump at that boost level!!!

Re: t-25 d16
 

I'm pretty sure that there is a difference between Canadian and U.S T25 turbos, and I'm thinking the U.S version is smaller because you guys are really agianst the thing. Mine has the round exhuast inlet whereas the U.S version I think has the square, if I'm correct. My ls pulls really good right to 7000, no fall off. I am only at 10psi but I'm averaging mid 13's. When I figure out how to post pics (I'm a total computer NOB, and I don't meen noob) I'll get them up.

Re: t-25 d16
 

15psi is pretty close to the stock boost level on the thing. something tells me mitsu isnt so dumb that they would spec a turbo that would be out of its efficiency range on a stock car. in fact, back when i was choosing turbos i managed to get a peek at the compressor map. it may not flow TONS of air, but that doesnt make it an inefficient turbo ;)

Re: t-25 d16
 

thanks for the input think ill stick to the T-25 untill i tweak the setup and from then and more cash saved up will upgrade probably to a T3 or see into a T-28 or sumething along those lines. Thankz people

in transition from :1 2 ^-^

Re: t-25 d16
 

if you end up not liking the t25, you can always get a FP big t28:

thankz 4 link ;)

Re: t-25 d16
 

That turbo sounds neat. If I was a balla I'd try one out someday.

Re: t-25 d16
 

id go with a t88 non ball bearing, that should be good.... :y

Re: t-25 d16
 

got to look at a compressor map for the t25 huh, is it online anywhere? I can't seem to find one.

Re: t-25 d16
 

it was a scan of a hand-drawn thing. i really have no idea where i found it, as this was about 2 years ago. basically, its a perfectly fine turbo if you're not trying to get huge cfm out of it. for a 2g dsm 15psi is ok (stock), 17psi is pushing it (if you can get it to keep that...) and anything over that is pretty much a waste. so if you are generous and say a d-series flows similar #s to a 4g63 (im assuming it flows less) then 15psi is good. it treats me just fine :)
