I wouldn't want anything smaller and I have a d16z6, not sure what it will do on your B16. I would defintely be looking for a t3/t4 if I had a b16 though.

yeah i know its not that big of a turbo but do you think it will fall off badly on a b16? how many pounds do you run on the z6? does it hold full boost all the way to redline?

I run 10-12 pounds on my d16z6 and it rips good to redline and I am sure if I could rev it higher the turbo would keep pulling.

Check this thread for info on your B16... https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...threadid=32338

honda-tech had a discussion on this exact topic recently. It is probably a bit small, but if you're not aiming for much hp (it's really hp and not boost that u should be looking at) then it is probably fine and will spool nicely. If you got a good deal, then don't worry about it; any turbo is good. Have fun with that one, then after a while when your are used to the hp, get a bigger one.

T3 .48/.60 turbo here and am fine with it. Only reason I would consider going to a T3/T4 or bigger turbo is if I wanted to go for 350whp+.

T3 .48/.60 will do just fine as a turbo for most of the RPM range.
