Default help me decide on a turbo setup

I have a 95 civic hatch with a gsr motor. I want to go turbo with stock internals and a hondata s200b I am trying to figure out what turbo I should get and what manifold. The car is a daily driver and will see some track time. what is a good set up for this?I have an inline pro head gasket that I will probally install when I get my setup.

For an additional $50, they can be AC compatible.

are those manifolds for B-series only? so they can be made a/c compatible, but what about other turbo's? thanks

Default Re: help me decide on a turbo setup (0x64)

let's get back to what the guy is asking who made this post . how much money do you have to spend? for a turbo id suggest .60 trim with a .63 a/r ratio. brand doesnt make too much of a difference so my suggestion will go with a turbo that alot of people have used. from what everyone says greddy wont give you as much power as you may want so maybe steer clear of them but revhard, garrett, turbonetics, drag, and others make great turbos.

Default Re: help me decide on a turbo setup (smallttocs)

Ok back on the subject I think brand does make a difference. I have seen a couple Turbonetic's turbochargers crap on their owners so I stayed away from the Turbonetic's line of turbochargers. Custom turbochargers straight from them might be different as I have seen Mustangs using larger Turbonetic's turbochargers have good results. This is why I suggest Precision turbochargers or Garrett turbochargers. Greddy turbochargers can make power. It all depends on the size of the turbocharger. For instance, look at the Greddy T-78 or the Greddy T-88. Those make allot of power on the right motor.

I could have bought a full-race, I had the money. I bought a Lovefab instead (mines the top one in the picture). With the extra money I saved I bought a Precision SC61 with a t04s compressor housing.

BTW: My manifold arrived today, it looks AWSOME!!!
