I want to turbo my 95 Prelude but I don' t think I'll need a T3/T4 cuz I'll only 6 lbs max and probably 3-4 lbs daily. I figured that a T3 with a 45 compressor trim and .60 A/R should work for me. What car is the junkyard could I get a turbo from that would be the closest to what I'm looking for?

 

Firtst off your gonna want to bost more then 6lbs max. 3lbs wont cut it. trust me. Use the search button and look this stuff up man theres a ton of stuff archived.

Look @ http://www.homemadeturbo.com

hes turbo'd quite a few cars and has an excellant FAQ.

Yeah trust me, 3psi is not worth it, i'm runing 5psi rite now and it's killing me because my car feels gutless compared to the 8psi that i normally run..
Imo if your going to turbo your car, run 5psi min...any less it's a waste of money....now that we got that out of the way...I don't think that you will find a turbo that will suite you engine from a junkyard.Your best bet is to contact cheapturbo.com they have decent prices on new turbo's and they can set you up with the perfect turbo for your needs.Thats what i would do....oh wait i did do that....

 

Ford thunderbird SVO...i believe...that's where I got my turbo...but the volvo and saab turbos should work fine....I found those two turbos in one trip to the local pick your part....tee hee....oh....and the volvo turbo...I don't recommend...fabrication is necessary to mount it to the turbo manifold......
