I'm finishing up the turbo project and have 2 more things to purchase. Before I begin, here's my current setup:

Car: 1999 Civic Si

Current bolt-on's:
- '00 ITR cams, IM (w/ Hondata gasket), TB, and valve springs
- Hondata S200 w/ 3 step
-ACT flywheel w/ Exedy stage 1
- ES mounts and Silver's engine damper(don't flame; works great)
- 3" header-back exhaust
- Oil temp, oil press., EGT, Boost, Fuel pressure and water temp. guages
-Moroso baffled oil pan w/ turbo return
-Walbro 255 pump

Current Turbo parts in waiting:
-Blox maniflod
-Tial 38mm WG w/ 90deg elbow
-Greddy BOV + turbo timer

Waiting to buy:
-Turbo
-Intercooler setup
- Quaife (not now though.... )

Getting to the point, I need to purchase a turbo and IC to complete this project. I know the manifold is for a T3 setup and because I haven't built the bottom end I'm only going to boost ~7-8psi. I need some insight as to what turbo will best suite my needs. I'm also not planning on draging this car. Mostly I want a good mid-high turbo setup for weekend driving (my car only has 27,XXX miles on it). I want to get this done before the end of May and need to know what turbo (Comp. .XX A/R and Turbine .XX A/R specs) I should be purchasing. It's all a little confusing to me. I also have to make sure it fits my manifold (Keeping A/C by the way )

a 57 trim turbine will fit you well with a nice .63 or so AR compressor housing to make some good high end still. It will spool quick and still have good pull on the top end. I liked my SC34 for that reason.

Osokwik

This is very helpful. So what would be a good Comp .XX a/r and Turbine .XX a/r turbo for this setup and goal?

lanojp1

ill recommend my own...garret t3/t04e 57 trim .63 ar

JDMpianoguy

like the above stated...57trim with .63 like his garret or my SC34 (which i am selling with only 5k miles on it)

Benjithx

your setup sounds good, but its missing one thing, (see sig)

Osokwik

What do you think about ,say, a 57trim with a .48 or .55? Too small of a turbo?

adseguy

no not to small, but with the higher rev of that motor it may die out alittle bit in the high end...still a solid choice though if you're not looking for big numbers

Osokwik

Would a .63 work well for that psi?(7-8psi)

Sweet.

GT30 or GT28 would provide excellent spool and medium amount of power. Or if you want something cheaper SC34.

Osokwik

Give me an example as far as C .XX a/r and T .XX a/r are concerned.

for a Rochester H-T memember!

That looks nice ben and the price is also right .....

Can you choose a v band turbine housing instead of 5 bolt with that gt30R? How much does it run extra?

Osokwik

anyone els like to jump in?
