the 60/63 garrett has a small efficiency range. its not a good turbo for your goals.
heres a map for 400hp
heres a map for 350
As you can see, its well into surgeline.. dont expect much from it.
Ditch it and have Shodan make you a silver surfer with a 58lb wheel
And youll need a larger intercooler.

What do you think it should be like ?
That's way enough for me. Is it also OK on low RPMS or totally dead. Is it streetable too ?
Well, that's how it was built. I was using this block atmospherically before without any problems, it's re-honed and put turbo pistons now.
sleeves are Turkish-made. Some people use it around 400 hp without any problems. Of course I would like original dartons but this thing was built before I knew anything about turbo Hondas. Maybe next time
My turbo is NOT Garrett 60-1 by the way..
My fuel is 95 OCT pump gas. I just wanted to know how much will this thing make with this configuration, and since I'm still learning, I need to listen to advices.

Why do people do builds and not know what power they should be making out of it? Just asking but I think that's the FIRST thing you should know.

Those must be old darton mids....i have them on my build they have much more hole in the flange. I know mine were newer ones with the phosphate coating.
Also i think he is trying to say t3.t4oe 60 trim. Thats the turbo i have we have similar set-ups...im 410whp at 20psi with gsr cams....You can exect 430-440 with good cams. I would think you may have slighly more with top mount as far as peak hp, I wouldnt have gotten a top mount with this turbo tho...

On street don't need 18 psi it just spin tires , I turn down to 10 psi for the street and ran on the track on 10 psi w/slick 12.2@116. on the low rpm t3/t4 spool pretty quick. very streetable
