still2hi Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 first off im not a huge civic fan so i dont know much about them and/or turbos. but i do know alot about cars. my question to you is.. i have a friend that has a 90 hatch with a 95 integra engine swap. he wants to put a turbo on it but the one he has is small. i think its a waste of his time/money to put this small turbo on it. i believe its a t-25 and small side mount intercooler. (i think they are the stock ones of eclipses maybe). will that setup be resonable? or should he save and get something bigger. also if its possible about how much hp does 7 psi give you? i didnt think it was the same with every car and turbo, but i dunno.

Guest drifter Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 I think i would use a t-3, t-4 hybrid. It will let it spool just as fast as the t-25. But will offer way higher boost numbers for future tunning boost is cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slow4now Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 A T25 is much too small. If he is making a junkyard turbot kit he needs to get a 14b from a 1g DSM to make it worthwhile. The motor can handle 7psi fine, just make sure he does something for fuel managment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roger Hupp Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Unless you are planning to rebuild the motor, the T-25 will be fine. 10psi will be right around the optimum efficiency range. I have a FMICfor sale. It's a bar&plate FMIC for your set-up for $200.00 shipped. Core measurements are 20x6x3.5 w/ 2.5" in/outlets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slow4now Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 It's not worth the hassle to use something as small as a t-25, but what do I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
