Going T3? Currently have a T3/T40e
I like the power of the T3/T40e but I can't stand the turbo lag. If I drop to a T3, how much better "response" will I get from it? Also, will it have the same powerfeeling like that of the T3/T40e. All I need is something that can produce up to 18 PSI.

Re: Going T3? Currently have a T3/T40e (BG Boost)
The T3 and T3/T04E have the same exact turbine specs. The only way you will be able to get quicker spool time is if you :
1. Get a smaller exhaust housing (Quicker spool= less HP)
2. Get a ball bearing section for your T3/T04E
3. Get a Smaller turbo; T28 or T25 (Less HP; you will need a new manifold & piping)
Do you knw what the specs are on your turbo?

since the super 60 wheel is smaller is has less rotaional mass and that will increase spool up time.

Re: Going T3? Currently have a T3/T40e (TurboInteg95)
.48 turbine housing and a .60 compressor trim
thats one of the t3 60's and that will give u a faster spool up time
most t3/t4 got a .63 turbine

If he is willing to sacrafice power for spool up time, then go ahead!
My personal choice would be to get a Stage III Turbine w/ .63 Extrude Honed Exhaust Housing, Ball bearing center section, 50 trim compressor w/ .50 AR.
This way he will be able to produc up to 320-325 hp and will still have quicker spool up time that a non ball bearing T3/T04E AND he Won't Sacrafice power!

Re: Going T3? Currently have a T3/T40e (BG Boost)
id say ball bearing your t3/T04e.. i wouldnt wanna sacrifice good top end just for spool time.. if u r not into drag racing then i guess a smaller turbo isnt too bad of an idea but u WILL be slower in the 1/4 mile with the smaller turbo since u will sacrifice your top end power..

Man, I have a 0.48 exhaust housing on my 3/4B and I hate it. Feels like it's choking the engine and makes for some really nasty effects when VTEC kicks in at lower speeds; I'd trade it for a little bit of spoolup lag any day.

Re: Going T3? Currently have a T3/T40e (dbman96)
YEah Hondas really dont like a .48
My recommendation..
A stage 2 with a .63 A/R will provide some good spool-up. Then get one of the new turbonetics "Super" T04E wheels. The "supers" have a larger major diam. and spool up faster. Get a Super-.46 T04E... That would be one bad ****'n spoolin combination.

Wouldn't the super wheel have higher rotational inertia and therefore accelerate slower than a wheel with a smaller major dia.?

Re: Going T3? Currently have a T3/T40e (APEXSER)
They just started making a super series for the T04E. It has a 3.25" (3.2") major diam., where the rest of the line has a 2.95" maj. diam. (except the .50-trim, it has a 3.00").
Don't rule out the Super-60 T3 either. It's just I dont have any experience with it, so I didnt recommend it. I know it can make like 300whp. I have seen the .46 make 400whp. And have seen the super-.50 make 494whp.

Re: Going T3? Currently have a T3/T40e (MarkC)
from all of these ideas... i came up with one main idea. getting a ball bearing t3/t4 turbo is the best way.

Keep your turbo. Get an equal length tubular manifold. I'm running a t04e cold side .63 a/r, 57 trim, t3 hot side, .63 a/r, stage III trim with an MP tubular manifold on a B18b and its fast as ****.

Re: Going T3? Currently have a T3/T40e (turboeg)
ahahaha at the last post"fast as ****"
i am going t3/t04e stage 2 .63a/r 54 trim ball bearing
you think this will be good for my b16?

Re: Going T3? Currently have a T3/T40e (BG Boost)
Go the twin sequential turbo route...get a small ball-bearing turbo for the lower end, and keep the one you have right now...(or if it isn't already ball-bearing then upgrade that as well)... Then when the small one has done it's work, the bigger one can take over...
Wouldn't that be the perfect solution? Why is it that no one seems to want to do this..? Given the funds, wouldn't it be the BEST choice...? I think so as of right now...
I have one question though: WHen this is done to reduce turbo lag, does the smaller one shut off when the big one comes on, or can they both be working simultaneously?
If you think about it though, would this not improve the "jerkiness" of ride quality and possibly improve 0-60' times and 0-60 mph times quite a bit (while still maintaining that high boost for the higher speeds)?

Re: Going T3? Currently have a T3/T40e (PureTeg420)
but why is it that tt supras do single turbo conversions? is that so they can make alot more power with just a single turbo?
