Whats is a good turbo to use for a D series ?
 

Hi im woundering what is a good Turbo to us on a D series engine. I have a 93civic with a DX engine im a daily driver that wants some more power and fun. I think i will run about 7psi. In plan to swap a d16z6 in next year and use the same turbo so i want a turbo that will be good 4 both?... thank alot

14b

there are so many options.......how much power you want to make with 7 psi?

Re:Whats is a good turbo to use for a D series ?
 

I want to run low boost to be safe I want to be faily reliable on the dx engine. When i get my d16z6 i well run more boost and my goal will be 200hp but thats next year...

this is what you want then to meet your goals or you can go a bit smaller with a 42/48

Re:Whats is a good turbo to use for a D series ?
 

7 psi? 42/48 is mint. I run one and its good for street use build boost early and is smooth.

i run a td04L (13g i think) from wrx...it's been good so far, quick on the street, instant boost, and pulls, but doesn't pull as strongly in the top end.

making the switch to t3 .48/.60 soon.

i'm gonna run this tiny ass rhb5 on my multi point and obd1 converted d15..i've heard it should should work fine..but i'll be going bigger turbo when i put some more money into the motor after school lets out for summer

Isn't stock boost on a 14b 9psi? Can you set that lower?

Re:Whats is a good turbo to use for a D series ?
 

whats better a t3 or 14b at 7psi and y? soryy but i think 170hp would be a beter goal. but 4 now im just going to run low boost on the dx engine.

Re:Whats is a good turbo to use for a D series ?
 

I'm doing the same thing....turbo is just too small for my likings

Re:Whats is a good turbo to use for a D series ?
 

T3 would be better simply becuase if you dont like the 60/48 then you can just swap out for a smaller t3 and it'll bolt right up without any modifcations. You can make 170whp on a 42/48 with some tuning @ 7-8psi. and that spool will be fast

if i were you i'd get the 60/48 it'll make good power and spool a little bit later which is nice to have vs. super instant power.

Re:Whats is a good turbo to use for a D series ?
 

the .42/.48 is similar in size to the tdo4L which i've gotten 193whp out of it and probably still good for 210whp. the .60/.48 will be good for that at lower psi and able to get more whp as you crank up the psi...250whp easy...maybe 300whp, but that might be a pipe dream.

Re:Whats is a good turbo to use for a D series ?
 

i bought a 14b... im hoping to boost 8-10psi on a stock d16z6 90k w/ 450cc injectors bigger pump/fpr and uberdata shooting for 200-220whp... do you think this is realistic? i saw someone on here with a 14b stock injectors i think they used vafc i donno they got 180whp 180 tq...

let me know if you think ill be able to reach these goals..
