Default Help me choose a turbo for my crv

I have a 2001 CRV AWD manual, and it spends a lot of time above 10000 feet. I am considering a turbo setup, but I am kind of particular about what I want out of this thing. I am looking for at least 250whp and 300whp at most with similar torque numbers (hopefully). I want this power at 10-11 psi (I am staying with a factory map sensor), and I want full boost ASAP. I have been looking into the t3 super 60 and the t3\t4 50trim (both with .48 hot side). any insight on either of these, or perhaps another suggestion? Thanks!

by the way, assume that I will have all the proper supporting mods IE good equal length manifold, fuel support, ic, neptune etc... also, I won't be revving past 6700 rpm, and a good, strong torque curve is more desirable than peak hp for this one to get its fat *** moving.

thanks again

I'm not sure about the .48ar turbine housing because commonly a .63ar is used on hondas, but if you're not revving overly high, i dont see why a .48ar wouldnt work just as well. I think you're spot on with your turbo choices though. A super 60 or a 50 trim would be my two choices for this application. As for the manifold, i'm not sure you really need an EQ manifold. For this situation, a log or a mini-ram would be sufficient and less expensive than your other options.

Thanks for the reply, do you have a preference of the two turbo choices? Do you know which will spool quickest? Thanks

based upon the cylinder head of B20b, you may want to go even smaller. The super 60 will be a better option, as it will respond a bit better. since you're not expecting the world, you should be ok.

The b20 head doesn't flow that well, but it having the Super60 added, you're going to have a fun car!

Im using a super 60, quick spool and great thru the powerband. I wouldnt go .63 cuz the B20 isnt a high revving engine and it would spool late..

The .50 trim would be my choice. 250 at the wheels would be the limit i would push on a stock bottom end. The .50 should be a great match to it.

Anyone know where a gt28rs compares to a super 60 in terms of spool and power per psi?

you will need to read the compressor maps and compare the 2 turbos. the super 60 is good to about 250hp

I also was going to suggest the GT28RS. Should spool faster than the super 60 and produce around the same power.

I was going to suggest that you save some $$ with a log or cast manifold and then go with a GT28RS. Stick with .63 housings. I have had lots of different turbine configurations, and did NOT like the .48.
