What are a Turbo's Limits
 

i am going to be putting a TD04 turbo from a 1g mitsu on my 95'Acura Integra LS. Now at the rate I want my turo to be spooling...compressing about 12lbs when racing, is that really straining the turbo? I am going to have proper oil cooling, and may even buy an oil cooler. Is that what I am going to have to do? Thanks

Re:What are a Turbo's Limits
 

um if you want to. im not too sure how many guys here use one and i think that turbo will be fine, maybe a little small but whatever

Re:What are a Turbo's Limits
 

well with it being small and everything, will it like burn up on me? because i might be boosting that bitch to about 15-20lbs in the future...but now only about 8-12lbs. can the td04 handle that ----?

Re:What are a Turbo's Limits
 

it will handle 8-12psi but im not sure if you'll reach your goal of 250-300hp with that turbo.

CFM matters more than psi.

Re:What are a Turbo's Limits
 

someone had a t3 60 and it made 227hp with 10lbs i am hoping to make 250 with 12lbs of boost.

Re:What are a Turbo's Limits

It probably does, but the problem is that your turbo is a "TAD!!!" bit "SMALLER" than the T3 so dont expect as much gain from it at the same psi

KKK...lol

Re:What are a Turbo's Limits
 

There were 2 different turbos on the first gen mitsus. The automatics had a 13b and the MTs had a 14b. The 13b will flow around 360cfm at 14.7psi where the 14b will flow around 430cfm there. I'm not sure how big your motor is, but on a 2.0L both of those will peter out before you hit 7k. 12psi isn't a problem on them. Some DSMs run the 14b up past 18psi. Keep it below 30psi and it wont burn up on you. Here's some compressor maps for ya - http://www.stealth316.com/2-3s-compflowmaps.htm

i think the best thing to do is save up for a kit. they come with everything you need...right? i want to go with the t3/t4 hybrid. That is a nice turbo. Does anyone know if those are quick spooling? i have heard they are.

Re:What are a Turbo's Limits
 

if you get one small enouhg...like a 50 trim or a 57 trim with a 48 ar

Re:What are a Turbo's Limits
 

since you feel like WASTING your money on a kit, go for one that has the gt series of turbo's... they kick ass

Re:What are a Turbo's Limits
 

what is so good about ball bearing? last longer and faster spool up? who makes the GT series? if i did buy the turbo kit, i should buy the ball bearing right?

Re:What are a Turbo's Limits
 

well if you can tell me how i can make a kit for cheaper than 1500 with a t3/t4h turbo and intercooler...then i am all ears.

Re:What are a Turbo's Limits
 

Good luck finding a ball bearing Kit that cheap especially with an intercooler. Build a kit. You wont kick yourself in the ass later for spend too much money.

Yes a Th04(13g) will be too small!! Go for an TE05(14b) from the Manual Ecclispes. It is almost Equivalant to a t3 if not the same. An 04 is the same or if not smaller then a t25. Trust me. I have a bad one sitting in my garage. go for the te05(14b) or a T3 if you want a inexpensive turbo. A t3/t4 if you want to spend a little more!

Re:What are a Turbo's Limits
 

i just dont know how i can spend little money and make my own kit...i have added it up

Re:What are a Turbo's Limits
 

Well if kits were cheap, All of us here would just buy one because it's easier. But making one is cheaper.

An Elelbrock D-Series kit start(if youlucky and get it on sale) in canada for 3000. I built my kit for less then half of that. Just be resourceful. Not cheap, Resourceful!

Re:What are a Turbo's Limits
 

ya...a b-series turbo kit in the US is like around the same price. does anyone know if the GReddy kits are any good?

Re:What are a Turbo's Limits
 

Not to be harsh or anything, but why are you asking this on homemadeturbo.com. Think about the name for a bit - homemade turbo. Its not prebuiltturbokit.com. I'm just saying this cause I think you may be able to get more help in a forum more specific for your car. Good luck though.

Re:What are a Turbo's Limits
 

its just hard for me to build a kit. i cant find ways to make it cheap

Re:What are a Turbo's Limits
 

I;m running a T3/T4E 57 trim...with A/R .36 turbine on my D15...I didnt' spend more then 400-500 euro's on the whol thing

Re:What are a Turbo's Limits
 

More research + More learning = cheaper kit and faster car

Stop typing and start researching, almost everthing I have learned about turbos, I have learned from searching the internet and READING!
