So I was wondering....because I saw this guy

http://www.team-integra.net/fo...age=1

and he is running like high 12 on a t28 with like 8 PSI. I want around 280-300WHP.

What is the best turbo for 1/4 mile times, horsepower is nothing to brag about when someone with less HP runs faster because their power band is better. I will keep the block stock. I'm stuck between getting a T3 60trim, T3/t04e 54 trim, or T3/t04e 57 trim. Any experience or help would be awesome .

i dunno why anyone would want a 57 trim on a b18b. they take longer to spool. I have a t3/t04e 50 trim with a .48 A/R exhaust side and it spools pretty good. Im in full boost in second gear by 3,700rpm..3rd gear by around 3,400...4th by 3,100.. Although i yeilded about 200whp from 8 psi, my midrange is absolutley sick, and thats because i spool alot quicker then these other boosted hondas with huge *** turbos on their motors. I still dont understand why some people would want a 60 trim with a .63 A/R on the hot side on a small 1.8 litre motor when they only want to boost like 10 psi. someone please elaborate that for me.

Definetly the Y2K...

well...you did say for the best 1/4.

It all depends on your goals. If you are into racing lite to lite then a smaller turbo would be good for you. If your goals are to do runs on the highway then a 57trim or bigger would be your best bet. All of these factors come into the equation. I had a t3/t4b on my LS and it was great bc it spooled fast but I wasnt happy with the power I was making. Now, I have a built LS motor with a 57 trim and the top end is insane. I recently bought a b16 head and I think I might have to go bigger. It all depends on what you want the turbo for.

for the 280-300WHP goals and street racing/quarter mile racing (20-100mph) is a small turbo necessary? I understand I can't have both fast spool and great power. But which one then, T3 60 trim, 54trim, 57 trim? I just want a little list. It doesn't matter to me what WHP i produce because I just want to have the fastest (20-100mph times) I can on stock motor. No highway or anything like that.

ok.. so are you saying that *IF* i were lets say to get a larger turbo, perhaps a 57 trim with a .63 on the hot side, that i could yeild a higher amount of whp @ 8psi then i would with a smaller turbo @ 8 psi? someone please clarify this for me.. obviosly i know when you get a larger turbo you are sacraficing spool time.. but do you actually gain more power at a desired psi over a larger turbo then a smaller?

adseguy

Yes because it's all about CFM...PSI is more of a measure of "how hard the turbo is working" a T3 at 8PSI will flow less air then a massive T91 at 8PSI...so more air flow more horsepower. You could very well run a T3 at like 25 PSI to get the same airflow as a big T4 running at 10 PSI, but then the T3's compressor is very inefficient and the big T4 is better. I've done those calculations and for our 1.8L between a T3 60 trim and a T3/t04e 60 trim is the range. My only question is to narrow that for me and my application.

i put a t3t04e 57 trim on my stock ls and pushing 250whp on a stock block after tuning with uberdata... but yet to find out the 1/4 times... just got done recently... has a good quick spool to it though....

250 is my goal for my stock B18B. What psi did you run to get these results.

agent 22

8 psi...

adseguy

Are you running an equal length manifold on just some log type anutha ****? I want to get an equal length to improve spool...but I want to keep my stock radiator too. What did you have to remove to fit yours on?

agent 22

drag3 mani.... stock radiator with slimmy.... n i had to cut a shitload just to make sure the turbo cleared the motor.... wasnt fun...

i ran 12.7.......4 years ago with a drag gen 2 kit......10lbs of boost stock block i
