Re: Which turbo to go with? D-series..
 

T3/T04E is just fine. Stage 3 turbine, .48 AR housing, spools at 3500 rpms and the boost zips right up there.

T25 is too small.

14b is borderline too small.

Most any T3 will do you fine, and is bang for the buck on stock block D16. You won't notice any significant difference in spool between .48 and .63 turbine housings; it's dropped across the tiny-ass OEM turbine wheel.

the .63/.60 sounds right up my alley for my 300whp goal, but i'll try this .48/.60 first and see how i like it.

to the guy who posted to use a torch, you can't. I already asked and they are worried about blowing the place up. plasma might work but u need a power source where the junk yards don't offer one.

Looks like its busted up knuckles for us!

a battery powered sawzall is also a good option.

Re: Which turbo to go with? D-series..
 

my 14b seems like a nice match to my y8 for now, are 14b smaller or larger or same compared to a RHB5?

Re: Which turbo to go with? D-series..
 

Nothing is smaller than RHB5, except maybe T2 or RHB3. Schwitzer S1. GT15. Etc.

I've got a turbonetics t3/T04E but I don't know the damn size of the cold side. Its a stage 3 48 hot but theres no specs on the cold. I do know this: Its ------ huge compared to my T04B 48/60 so I can only guess its a Turbonetics 48/63. It spools "decent" and sure does kick you in the nuts by 4800rpm (13psi). I have yet to crank the dial as I am awaiting a dyno session. This turbo at 12psi pulls harder than my T04B did at 16psi. 3rd gear and 70mph the tires haze weeeee!!!

So, I would say go with a 48/60 as I loved my old one. the spool time was supurb and perfect for power but I am aiming for a bigger number. 300whp just aint gonna cut it in my town. Thats why I went a little bigger. Besides, lag is like traction control :)

the rhb5 works well for my D. mid 13's on slicks.

Lag is a joke. You guys need to learn to brake boost.
