I need to find some specs, info, etc on the DSM T-25. Also I need to find out what manifold can fit it. I know HKS makes a T-25 manifold but I heard it won't fit DSM T-25's. Any info from previous T-25 owners would help. I know bryson has one on his crx. Anyone lend some info.

I'm putting a T-25 on my d16z6 in a couple weeks, hopefully. I'm using a Greddy manifold and having a different plate, or adapter welded on. The turbo should spool up around <2500rpm and be able to push 12psi, intercooled, efficiently.

Basically the only manifold that's gonna fit it, is the HF, or a custom made manifold.

If you don't want to make an adapter plate, but Know how to weld(or are willing to go to a shop) this place makes a custom manifold for a D seies engine and T-25 flange.

Click on "custom manifolds" and go to the bottom of the page. If your willing to modify in the future, it's the one to get!

M.A.R.C.

What do you mean if I'm willing to modyify? I know Pann Auto in SD makes custom manifolds for $300, and SFP makes them for $375. JGS wanted $375+shipping for theirs so I think I might just go with the Pann Auto or SFP manifold. Thanks anyway. BTW Bryson. What psi does the stock wastegate open up at on a DSM T-25. And how do you like the T-25, etc. Tell me a little bit about your experience with it.

M.A.R.C.

I saw that JGS has a manifold kit for all 4 cyl. comes with a premade log style manifold, and all you have to do is weld on the flange and port it out. Wonder how much that would cost?

*Boostwerks*

Ummmmm no that price is wrong. That's if you have THEM make a custom one.

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE...

It say's "turbo Header KIT's"

They are only 230 but you have to weld on the Turbo flange.

As for the T-25. It's a GREAT turbo for our low boost setup's(10 and below). it will spool VERY fast(I have a full 10 psi at 2500RPM with my 3" exhaust), and hold the power till redline. The stock wastegate should open around 7-8 psi. My WG flange was bent so I ended up getting 10 psi. The turbo is great match for the HF manifold also. If you are willig to "hack" up the Turbine housing with 4 notches you can even get away with using NO adapter plate. It takes about 20 minutes with a Dremel tool to make Notches that match the HF manifold. Put hi-temp bolt's on there with washer's and double nut's and your good to go. The best thing about that setup is, you can even use the Stock O2 housing so it makes routing the Dp easier.

M.A.R.C.

Ya sorry I saw that. I posted that I saw it in my previous post, but I meant I wonder how much the welding and porting out would cost.

*Boostwerks*

Take it to a welding shop, and they could probubly do it for under 50 bucks.

I mean it's not much welding at all.

M.A.R.C.

Got a couple more questions for ya Bryson:

1) Does the JGS manifold work with cars with a/c? I'm gonna call them in a little to find out anyway but just seeing if you knew.

2) On your setup I noticed you have the compressor on the driver's side, is it possible to mount the turbo with the compressor on the passenger side? Or does that cause clearance issues?

3) How does the coolant routing go. I can't really tell from ur pics.

*Boostwerks*

1...OF course it would. It all depends on where you decide to mount the turbo.

FYI, it really doesn't matter with a Log manifold if the turbo is mounted off center of the head.

2....It's possible to mount it the other way, but it makes routing a DP a lot more difficult. The JGS manifold will mount the turbo up higher(then the HF) also so it might be more room for the DP(?)

3....Starts off the EACV( line on the left looking up and underneith the car/facing the front) and goes to the front of the turbo. Then a line goes from turbo back into the block where the EACV line used to go. It's like your just putting a turbo in the middle of the left EACV line. making sense? I find it kinda hard to describe that.

M.A.R.C.

Thanks for the info. I think i'll be mounting mine with the compressor on the passenger side cause there wouldn't be any space to fit the filter to the compressor inlet. And IMO it just looks more... normal to have it on the passenger side.

Yah I understand what you were saying. Only thing is though... wouldn't you be making the coolant going to the EACV even hotter by running it through the turbo first? Would that cause any problems or have you had any problems?

*Boostwerks*

yes it would make the coolant hotter, but it's not really a problem. I havn't had any problems this way. I really don't know of a better place to run it, as the EACV is the last place the coolant run's through before heading back to the radiatior(throught the block).

M.A.R.C.

Cool just wondering cause I've been having IACV/EACV CELs recently but I think it's associated with my throttle body. It's getting fixed before I put anything on the car. I don't wanna compound any problems. Should be fine I guess. Although it's possible that by routing it so late in the coolant system that you're having hotter coolant go to the turbo also. eh oh well it works as you said, no damage to motor or turbo then huh?

baby turbo isn't it cute?

It should be lots of fun dude, I have a small T3/T4 on my b20/vtec and the super quick spoolup rocks. Before i decided to go b-series i was gonna go 14b or 16g on my D series.

Good luck! Let me know if you want me to goto pann or anything.

t25/14b on a sohc will be hot. I was in a 14b powered 2g fwd eclipse the other day...holy crap that thing hauled ***!! He was like..ya lots of tuning...flows more holds 18psi (on an eclipse)...and man did it pull hard. I wish my GSX pulled like that. Its a nice turbo...it will totally kickass on a sohc.

Do you think that AC could be retained with your HF/T25 setup?

M.A.R.C.

I had an HF manifold with a T3 flange before. Never put it on the car but it should allow u to retain the a/c since it is a stock manifold. Unless the turbo is big i guess it shouldn't be a problem

MarsGodofWar

So are you switching from the T3 to a T25? If so why?

M.A.R.C.

I had a T3 and manifold back in January, but I needed some quick cash, so I had to sell it. I bought this T-25 because it was in very good condition and was cheap... $85 cheap.
