Hello HT!
I don't post here often but I always make it a point to visit this great site almost everyday. I can proudly say that almost everything I know about cars came from here.

First off, here's my setup:
B16A EG motor w/ GSR tranny
DSM 450cc
slight port & polish Head
ITR int cam, GSR exh cam w/ cam gears (not tuned yet - set to 0,0)
Apexi filter. 2' hot side, 2.5' cold side charge pipings
Custom manifold
T3 turbo from an RB25DET motor
Walbro 255
No-brand FMIC from eBay (30x6x2.5)
2.5' DP, 3' exhaust
Uberdata
... everything else is stock

Here's an old pic of the car - before it was turboed


and a pic of an article about the turbo


It's currently tuned on the street at 8psi (not dynoed so I don't know how much I'm already making - but I'd say around 200), but I plan on turning up the boost to 12 soon because I'm hoping to get around 250hp with this.

I just wanted to know what you guys think...
Is it a good idea to boost my motor at 12psi with this T3 - granted that it's tuned well? (or is the turbo too small to make 250hp efficiently)?

Suggestions or comments would be great... constructive ones please Thanks!

iTrader: (2)

the t3's off of the rb25det are ball bearing and have ceramic turbine wheels.... DO NOT TURN THAT TURBO OVER 15PSI. the turbine wheel will basically grenade and take a few things under hood with it as well
