B16A in a DA...what size turbo????
I have a question concerning what size of turbo I can use on my Stock B16A. My car has a bone stock B16A with a generic intake( which will be coming off soon) and a Tanabe Racing Medallion exhaust. I got a JUN flywheel and ACT clutch. I want to turbo it and have decided to build my own turbo kit, problem is I dunno what size of turbo to use. I have been looking at T3/T4 hybrid turbo, but some people tell me not to use it. Personally I dont have a lot of money to spend so I dont care about any fancy-*** turbo. I want something reliable and that'll give me good power. I would like to reach about 300 hp, if possible, but I know I would have to rebuild my bottom end, so for now if I can get about 225-240 hp to the wheels its cool. Does anyone have a recommendations? What EMS can I use also? I was told the GReddy E--Manage will suffice for my turbo kit. Is this true?
The engine is in a 92 Integra

either of the 60 trim t3's will suit your needs fine. nice spool up time, good top end. there are two out there, the 48 ar (quicker spool) and the 63 ar (better top end).
i ran the 48 on my b17 and loved it...i personally think a t3t4 will be too big for your liking.
lemme know if you want either, i am trying to raise some money for a bike

If you want moderate power that spools quick a t3 super 60 will be perfect. If you are looking for upwards of 300 whp, you will def need a t3/t4. I recommend a t3 turbine with a .63 trim to pull through the high rpm and a .54 trim compressor. It has the most efficient compressor map for the b16. If you want all top end, you can go with a .60 compressor. The .57 trim is right in the middle, but is not very efficient on the b16.
