I know I'm not a noob, but I suck at turbo math :/

Just wanted to get some opinions before I buy. Im interested in doing a 1.8 Turbo. I havent purchased the car yet but I'm weird and want to have all the turbo junk waiting so I can boost it immediatly.

Choices are:
a) T3 .42/.48
b) T3 .60/.63

I want to do about 250rwhp at the track, ~200-200 daily. The car will be converted to MAP (MS&S) and running 450cc injectors.

Should the .42/.48 suffice for 250rwhp? Or should I go with the larger .60/.63?

Thanks in advance for any help from knowledgeable turbo-gurus

 

That's kinda what I was thinking. Think i might go fer one of dem 63's in the classifieds. Thanks man

 

a straight t3 would do but they dont call the t3/t4 the miracle turbo for hondas just for fun. a honda is 1.8 as well. im sure you could get away with a straight t3 63/60 but a t3t4 would do its justice just fine.

 

I've got a t3/t4 sitting around that I'm supposed to sell to a friend of mine. I feel bad indian-selling it becaues I kinda already promised it to him. Plus im selling it for $400 and I can pick up a straight t3 for $200, thus making $200 which I can spend on other stuff.

I'm going to use a combination of smiles to show my current emotional status on the issue:

 

haha that'll work jess. make 200 out of it for other ----. jus hope your kit works out better then this local kid. he hada 98 miata with the greddy kit on it. he got a whopping 12hp out of the 3,000 dollar kit at like 6psi. some ---- like that. i remember they dyno'd it before. put the kit, dyno'd after and that's all it got. mighta been more like 20hp at 6psi but either way that would suck **** for the troubles.

 

sounds like the kit had a leak somewhere causing it to loose power. i saw an eclipse at the dyno pushing 25psi dyno only 180hp cause it was missing a gasket in the turbo outlet.

 

i didnt say his kit was perfect, i was jus saying hope his works out better lol. i kno jess knows what he's doing. he did jus have almost a 300hp KA torque monster running 13's in a 240sx tuna boat. im not doubting him in any way. just givin a heads up on one that i saw.

 

The greddy kits suck ***. No FMIC, and an FMU. A friend of mine bought a car with the kit already on it and said it was **** slow. Im kinda debating on keeping the t3/t4. I'll see how my buddy takes the news.

 

Think I changed my mind for good. Gonna hold onto the t3/t4
