Default What is this turbo?

Ok, so what is it and is it worth using? I'd have to rebuild it. The plan is a 175-200hp d16z6. I'll build the engine to hold the hp, but will I be able to achieve it with this turbo? exhaust port looks kinda small.





hopefully the pics work...

i wouldn't bother with it to be honest. it looks even smaller than a t25. a .48/.60 t3 is your best friend.

Thanks for the help. I'll start looking for a T3 around my area. Saab 900s had a t3 with 48/60 right?

Ok you busted me, I was being conservative with the hp I am trying to achieve.

Id hate to say 220hp and then build a 90hp boat anchor. Just being cautious. i do realize that they can hold together up to 225-250 with proper engine management.

Oh and thanks for the list!
