So i am putting a b16 in my civic, and i plan on boost so i was going to put in some pistons and rods in right off the bat. For the start i will have a tiny t25 turbo, which i know what everyone says...too small! but i blew my d series so i need to put this motor in quickly and i was going to go with 8.5:1 comp pistion, and some type of forged rods, so i figued that a t25 would be ok for the time being until i can afford a bigger turbo....does this sound logical?

makes sense to me, build it while the motor's out now rather than install w/ stock internals and probably have to pull it out again later.

 

exactly its just everyone is like "do it right or do it twice" wihtout really reading my post. I am just worried about the small high psi turbo putting to much stress on the rods, but at the same time they are 600+hp forged rods, so i would assume that 12 psi wouldnt do **** to em

 

It's not very logical to me because when you do decide to get a bigger turbo you will need a different flanged manifold, charge piping and downpipe will need to be redone. Plus that turbo would suck on a built b16. I wouldn't even want it on my stock d16 lol. Stay all motor until you can do it right.
