how much of a change would it be to swap out my T25 for a 14b? the flanges are the same right? but would it sit in there right? would i just have to weld a flange on the end of the charge pipe? or would i need to rerun it? does anyone have a T25 and a 14b that they could put side by side and take pictures of?

JD

The flanges arent the same and neither are the wastegates. The oil feed line on the t25 doesnt use a bango type like the 14b it uses a screw in type thing. Also the air outlet on the t25 is at a different place than the 14b so you will have to change your charge piping a little bit.

---- that then, i guess i'll stick to a t25

JD

its not that bad. You just need a new wastegate and make your piping a little different.

bambooseven

why would i need a new wastegate? they are internal. do you mean an actuator?

on top of that i'd need a new feed line.

and i'd need to ---- up m beautiful chargepipes.

I wish I had gone with a 14b from the beginnin but now that i havn't i'm confident i can make the t25 setup work well. and when I outgrow the turbo eventually, i'll upgrade it to a t28 or a big T28

As a DSM owner I'd say skip the t28/bigt28 and go right to a t3 hybrid of your liking.

bambooseven

but a big T28 bolts right up to the stock location right?

GimpyCivic

You drive a 2G DSM? Then ya.. its a bolton.

Would still urge any 2G owner to get a T3 mani and go from there, shrug.

i drive a 6g civic coupe. with a single cam vtec 1.6L monster. wouldn't a big T28 be a good size turbo for me? or am i mistaken?
