t3 60 trim is a perfect match turbo, and anyways if ur lsvtec is stock u wont be reaving high unless u want to break things,

It's not a close match at all lol... Just look at the powerband, it drops WAY too early.

ah, redline is 6500 on a ls just right, he aint going to be reaving to 8k, stock rods can not rev that high u should know that, he might be able to do it a couple of times, first build ur bottom end to get the actual power from your vtec head

You can rev a stock Ls/Vtec to 8k no problem if it's built and tuned right. I personally know quite a few people that rev their LS/Vtec's to like 8-8.5k daily and they haven't had any rod failures. Stock redline on a b18b is 6800 by the way. The b18a is 6500. Either way you shouldn't have any problems reving higher with a vtec head.

A t3 60 trim is a good match for my d16, but I wouldn't want to use it on any b-series motor.

i have the same turbo with .48 turbine on my stock b18b running 8psi and the turbo does max out at around 6400 rpm other then that its a good street daily driver turbo. Im looking to get a t3/t4 myself.
The best time i ran with this turbo was: 1/4 mile 14.3 @99mph with street tires in 4dr integra full int. on a b16 tranny

The t3 compressor completely cancels out the benifits from vtec. It runs out of air just when vtec starts helping. But of course, it'd be a very responsive car, great if you prefer not to downshift.
