hi im going for boost 8-10 psi

ive got 2 options for a turbo
1 from a volvo 440 1.9TD
2 fram a volvo 940 2.3TD

ive got a Honda civic d16z2 sohc stock internals
ford transit intercooler
alu charge pipes
450cc injectors
chrome fuel management comming...
manifold is commping up.. depending which1 of the turbos i choose.
External adjustable WG


my question is
what kind of turbo is on those cars?
I've got some pics.. but no further info..

when will boost kick in with these turbo's? and when will it blow only useless hot air?

this is the one from the 940

940, probably bigger. you could measure and pick the big one you know??

i also think the 940 is bigger.

but whats the effect of the 440 on my d16z2 ? when will it spoolup? and wen will it stop?

theyre both form a diesel engine, some say dont take a dieselturbo... why not? doesnt matter right? does it?

i bet that both of them are t3 .42/.48

They both look like snails to me

will the one from a 440 do a good job on my d16z2 engine?

spoolup @ 3500 or probably earlyer?

im pretty sure as well they are both just .42 .48s and if they are different its probably nothing special enough to make a big difference. get the cheaper one. and my .42 .48 spooled pretty fast (9psi around 3k) so it should spool simalar on your z2.

thanx for the advise

when does the turbo.. ehh how do i say thatin english?.. (im dutch) stop charching? falldown? whatever

well those turbos should regulate somewhere around 6-8psi with the stock actuator and on your engine it should hold that to all the way to red line.

i found this on the internet

these are specifications from the Volvo 440

Compressor type: Garrett T2 turbo
