Default Need expert opinion on turbo setup

I have a 95 LS swapped civic and I plan on going turbo in a month. I found a turbo that a friend is selling that seems large for my setup but is at a really good price. My goals are 300whp on pump gas with decent spool time and less than 20psi. This will be done on stock internals.

The turbo specs are as follows:

Type: t3\t04b

Compressor A/R - .60 and I believe the trim is 60 as well

EXHAUST A/R - .84

EXHAUST WHEEL DIAMETER - 58mm.

COMPRESSOR WHEEL DIAMETER - 49mm.

My questions are as follows:

1. Will this turbo fit my needs or is it to big\small?

2. Will this turbo choke out up top (7k rpm)?

3. Will this turbo spool at a decent rpm assuming I run a 3 inch exhaust?


Thanks for your help guys

That .84 a/r is too big for your setup. A .63 a/r will suite you better.

X2

But if you could find a .63 a/r someone is selling or wants to trade for a .84 you might still make out.
