I'm currently using a turbo from a apex-i kit that was made for a 1.5 (d-series) motor. (I have a B16a2) All the rest of the set up is getto junk, but it works well at 6psi, spools killer fast. What I'm tring to figure out is if this turbo flows enouph CFM to feed 10 or 12 psi into this motor, or is it too small. The stupid turbo has NO label for the trim numbers on it, so I'm not sure what it is. All I know is that it's a T-25 and that it's out of the apex kit, but that's it. (is there any way to measure the turbo to see what the trim is?)

 

If it was made for a D15 than it's small
A T25 is small get at least a Super 60 or the 63/60 T3's

 

Yeah, but do you think this turbo could do it? I don't wnat to spend any more money unless I have to. Plus, I love the quick spool...

 

bump the boost up a little and go for a panty-ripper run.
Keep going up, and see what the but dyno says...

That Apexi the ball-bearing one? Must be nice actually having bottom end power on that thing.

 

I know a guy with the same kit on a built Non-VTEC motor running 20.7 psi daily. (307 WHP in case you were wondering)

I don't know about a b16. They flow a lot more than our puny SOHC's.

 

---- yeah, that's what I'm shooting for.

Speaking of the the panty ripper run do you think I'm safe tring this?...just as long as I listen for ping, or could it get hot enouph to hurt something? Keep in mind..I'm in Denver (5300 feet up!). By the way, I do have bigger injectors, but still the stock fuel pump.

 

in Honda Tuning magazine their budget boost crx (d16z6) uses a DSM t25. They said it topped out at 211hp @ 14psi.

my guess is that its blowing hot air at the pressure.

what do the DSM guys upgrade their cars with using a replacement turbo only.. as in keeping the DP / Manifold etc.. ?
