this turbo too small for my goals?
Got a 1994 GSR, looking to boost 7-8 psi daily driven tuned with hondata or uberdata. Found this turbo for sale for $300. T3 50 trim .48 A/R hot side .42 A/R cold side.
Would this turbo be too small for my goals of 250 wheel hp, 7-8 psi, NO plans to upgrade boost in future, 450cc injectors

Re:which junkyard turbo is best for GSR?
There are many variables within that question. Spool time, plans to exceed boost, rev limits. Look around at other people's setups, fuel management is the hardest thing.
Most people consider a T3 a universal turbo, so if you start with a T3 manifold, you have many options.

Re:this turbo too small for my goals?
yes you'll want the T3 with the 60 trim. If you have $$$ get the T3 Super 60 from Turbonetics. Those are the ones that you want. If not then get the T3 .60/.63. Just note that both the T3 Super 60 and T3 .60/.63 will lag a bit in the low end but will haul *** at the higher rpms.
the T3 .60/.48 that I have starts boosting around 4k and pulls all the way to redline... Just depends on what you want. The T3 .60/.48 will obviously spool quicker on your setup because you have a larger engine but I honestly doubt you'll run out of boost at the high end--thats if you keep it in the sub 12psi range.
