so i've been researching my turbo ---- for months now, (here, H-T, SHO, etc) and i started pricing together a kit for my 4th gen prelude, H23.

the list goes:
-garrett T3/TO4E 57 trim .63 a/r compressor
-log style mani from www.hermsfab.com which comes with a 3" downpipe
-tial 38mm wastegate w/ 7psi spring
-tial/hks/greddy 50mm BOV
-complete oil line kit from www.---------------------------
-a no-name 28x6.5x2.5 intercooler
-generic IC piping
-boost gauge
-either DSM or precision 440cc injectors
-walbro 255lph fuel pump
-and a chipped and socketed ECU with crome



orrr... some random kid IM'ed me last night asking if wanted this (basically) FMAX turbo kit, including:
-T3/TO4B turbonetics
-cast iron manifold
-tial WG @ 7psi
-HKS BOV
-IC piping
-spearco IC
-MSD ignition
-downpipe
-oil line kit
supposedly it only has 1,000 miles on it. how much would this setup be worth??



which setup would you guys say is better for my first turbo setup? remember the H23 is DOHC NON-vtec
TIA guys

 

if i got the second kit, i would also get a chipped and socketed ECU with crome, 440cc injectors, and a boost gauge, so it would almost be exactly like the first kit, except for a different turbo and manifold.

what do you guys think??

 

Build your own it's deff. worth it.

 

yea, i meant that i'm individually piecing together my kit, not buying a complete kit.

so basically it comes down to either a T3/TO4E 57 trim .63 a/r, or a T3/TO4B 63 trim .48/0.60 a/r for my H23

 

Hmm I'm still pretty new at this as well but I think of the two, I would say the t3/t04e.

 

and why?

any other opinions??

 

Sorry I'm at work and I keep getting cut off... anyway which turbo you use really depends on your goals. I found that the t04e looked a little bit better for my goals than the t04b. I'm running an f22 which is pretty close to the h23 so that's where I got that from. Check out this link... makes it real easy to check for yourself,

sweet, with that tutorial, i figured out the T3/T4E was 75% efficient @ 5,000rpm, as opposed to the T3/T4B which was only 70% efficient

thanks bro

anyone else?
any insight?
