Hi I'm new here and just wanted to say hi to everyone and introduce myself. Im Joe and I have a 94 Integra LS and I work as a Lexus Tech. I'm also a member of Honda-Acura.net and have been there since Jan 04.

Now for the questions. I just got my hands on a Garret T25 turbo off of a 97 Eclipse GST, I also got the SMIC for 20 bucks. This only costed me about 145 for both components. I'm also swapping out my motor(B18B1) for a B20B. Now what kind of manifold would I need to buy to mate with the turbo and head? I've tried a search on here but I couldn't find the info that I needed. TIA, Joe.

This is a pic of my car BTW.

 

youll have boost near idle with that turbo, you might try and find somthing bigger

 

well I'm just going to use it for a starter. It's not going to be permanent. Plus this is my daily driver and I'm more concerned with reliabilty than making huge numbers.

 

b20 is not reliable for boost, a t25 on a b series is a joke. It will cause you more problems then its worth. Get a t3 and keep the b18.

 

What kind of problems?

 

I totally agree, the sleeves on a b20 just can't take that kind of abuse. You will be WAY happier with the B18 and something like a Super 60. That setup would be quite dependable with a good tune too...at around 8 PSI that is. At about 8 psi you could make around 240-250 hp, and that would be great for a daily driver, in my opion anyway...mostly because you know it wouldn't blow up ever. Fidn yourself a T-bird turbo and go with it. (that's a super 60, by the way)

 

I hear you guys on that, I'll stick with the B18 in that case. No one seemed to answer my question in the first post though. What kind of manifold could I use for this hairdryer? I know you guys want me to use a t3 or t-bird, but what about my t25 that I just bought? What kind of manifold?

 

just some b seriers mani and a t25(dsm) flange and realy you should get a bigger turbo, people spool those at about 2.8k on d series,

 

I have never seen a T25 mani that will bolt to a B series motor, at least not one with the weird Mitsu flange on it. That turbo is WAAY to small for your car...it will boost right of idle, but it will be like a cork in the butt at higher rpms, I bet you would acually loose power up top just becuase it way to small to let the exhaust flow from that motor...your EGT temps will be VERY high as well..

 

Alright thanks guys for the info and the guidence. Like I said before, this is just a starter for me so I'm not looking for any serious numbers. I'm just doing this for experience and down the road I'm going to upgrade to a T3 or maybe something bigger. I'm trying to build the cheapest setup possible, for now it will be the T25.
