and i can't find any exact info on which one it might be...

would it be of any use on a d16?


(i know im gonna get spanked for the
newb-esk question)

Because the mighty resource god Steve Jones has banned me..:/

Plus I try to take care as many people here, and honda-tech

I think a few different versions came in those years of the volvo turbo,

"would it work for a d16?"

yes

"also what would u pay for it at a jy? "

Depends, whats a good turbo worth to you? 20 bucks? 100 bucks? 300? Everyone has their own ideas on what their worth, anything under 100 would be pretty good IMO.

why were u banned...

im wondering what its expected worth
would be...

and what would be the max boost do you
think i could possibly get out of one?

im looking for a decent 7lb setup while stock
engine, for my car...

i've been wanting to do a

ghettodyne
ecucontrol
jy turbo kit

for awhile....

cuzz as i look at it i want to be differn't
and everyone has a b16 swap / b18

and im thinking it would be fun to do this
myself, and i'll learn a good deal while i do it.
i know im getting a copy of "maximum boost"

and abaz if you could gear a tranny out any way you wanted... how would u gear it for boost?

Like I said they came with a few different models, (different A/R's) either one could make more boost than your d16 could even handle

abaz if you could gear a tranny out any way you wanted... how would u gear it for boost?

The shorter the better... So like a ZC Trans with a SI final would be nice for D-series, or a J1/B16a trans would be good for B-series

actually its a table of all d-series gear ratio's
for mix and matching them...

and i worked w/ the the old honda-perf calc
so that i can mix and match gears out of all
the differn't trannys....

aww sarcasim, but i think its a helpful tool...

im working w/ a 6speed tranny thou so i need
to swap out my gears and everything...

i heard that i would need longer gears
if i went boosted, and tighter gears for n/a...

I think you mean SAAB 900 or Volvo 240 or 740. Eather way they are usually .42A/R compressor and .48A/R exhaust, some of the Volvo units have a .63A/R exhaust, good to about 15 to 20 PSI of boost, nice turbo, made by Garrett, everyone calls them T3s but they are realy TBO series.

Those Volvo's have those gay *** inlet T3 patterns. But the holes are still pretty much in the same spot as a T3. I'm doing a kit right now with a .42/.48 Volvo Turbo, with a Chrysler M10 center section.
