Custom Turbo Set up Opinions
Alright. Thank you for all the help in my few other posts. Now its time for me to gather up some parts for now.
So far I am gonna get a hold of:
-Volvo T3 .42/.48
-Starion FMIC
-Drag Turbo Manifold
-Turbonetics Delta WG
-DSM BOV
I know i'm gonna need more parts. But will the T3 fit the drag manifold?
I will be adding these parts as money comes:
-Custom DP
-Vortech FMU
-Various Lines/Hoses for Oil Feed/Return Line and Vacuum Line.
-Walboro 255 Fuel Pump
Will this be good for my 91 GS with 150k on the clock? What kinda power would i expect? Thanks.

I just heard that its ideal for everyday driving. I was leaning towards a t3/t4 or a to4e but sine i have a 91 Integra GS, space is limited as well. I"m just not sure what turbo will be ideal for me. I just want some power thats very noticieable.

How much power can i expect from a t3? Which turbo will be one step up from this? Will it be a t3/t4? Thanks.

T3 .60/.63 is a better turbo for your car. that turbo will probably die out on the higher rpms. T3 .60/.63 can be found for about the same amount as the .42/.48 aswell. Also try to get a T3 w/ an internal WG instead of the delta external WG. thats just my opinion. O...watch out for which direction the outlets are facing. one of the turbos...i think off a Ford has it pointing towards the block...it more difficult with that turbo. Good luck

no with that set up you will run 14's maybe 15's. No offense but your car has a lot of miles on it 150k? Thats a lot of wear and tear your turbo you have chosen is going to spool up quick but just run out of juice. Maybe a strong clutch and drag radials you could get close but you would need the .63/.60 t3. Good Luck.

Re: (J's 94 Accord)
I have a 92' GS and I picked up a Precision SC50 (T3/T04E, 50Trim, .63 A/R)
To make room I have:
1) Pulled A/C
2) Relocated battery to trunk
3) Added a slim-line "pusher" fan that sits on the front of the rad
Tons of space!
I chose the T3/T4 over the T3 because:
1) Won't run out of breath on the top end
2) Can handle up to 400whp
3) Still "small" enough to get decent spool times
4) For daily driving I can drive it under 3k and stay in vac, saves gas
5) When I want to have some fun, take it above 3.5K and hell breaks loose
I'm aiming for a mid-low 13sec daily driver.
