I am building a turbo setup for my 92 Civic Si Hatch w/ a b16 motor in it.

As far as my setup, well...

Stock jdm b16
p28 ecu (soon to be chipped running UberData)
rc 440cc inject.
tial 38mm wg
turbox bov
crp manifold
jrc 6in fmic
255lph HP fuel pump

That is basically everything i have purchased so far for the setup. The last thing to purchase is my turbo. And I know I want somthing that is hella fast and great car for street driving. I am not trying to build a super fast drag car but I still want somthing with power. So I guess what I am trying to ask is, will I be satisfied with the power and low spool of a SC34 or would I be happier with a little bit of lag but the power of a SC61.

The smaller turbo will be more fun on the street. No street car needs 500whp anyway...

I ran the sc61 on my b16, full built. I would deffinately recommend the sc34 for street driving. It'll still be fast and make power. Paul

I have the SC61, and it's for sale so I can go smaller.

Go w/SC34 or maybe look at the GT32E.

Great! Thanks guys. I have been trying to research as much as possible, and I was leaning towards the SC34 mostly. So this helped with the decision.

The sc34 is a good street turbo. The problem it has is that after 12 or so psi, it becomes very inefficient. You'll have to decide what you want now and in the future. I went with the sc34 because all I really want is around 300 or so whp.

My freind has a sc61 on his gsr built block, lemme tell you its f-ing FAST! Dyno at 540 hp...But yeh..it takes long time to spool...lil over 5000 rpm...I went ahaed and bought a sc34 still yet to be installed but the from what i heard its a great street turbo and spools much quicker! and yeh...500 hp streetable car is freaking BEAST!!! But like they say... More power More problems...or maybe it was Mo money mo problems...well anyways...I get a sc34

We have the similar setup. I'd highly recommend the SC34.

I had a stock b17A motor with sc34 on it and i loved it spooled up great and held to redline. I sold the 34 to a local member on here and i bought a sc61 for my bulit motor. The sc34 is a great street turbo and good on stock motors.. You want go wrong with it and youll be happy.

Im also on a SC61 B16. I think you will be happier with the SC34 IMHO. Would be much more fun on the street.

hybrid0006

Wow well, I think that basically sums that up. SC34 seems pretty badass. Sounds perfect for street. I really appreciate your comments. I will be posting pictures once I get my turbo setup all in (sept)

HAHA lets see that compressor map, it can do WELL past 12psi efficiently.

Yeah, wtf are you talking about??? 12 psi is probably below the best-efficiency psi for that turbo.

B16Drag

what is the sc34 equivalent to in terms of T3 and T3/T4's

RyanAutry

t3/to4e 57 trim .60/.63 a/r

14bcoupe

sc34 all the way

braintree

I'm speaking relatively. The sc61 is more efficient than the sc34. Of course, the sc34 is by no means a slacker past 12, its just that there are more efficient turbos out there around that number. Sorry, I was too general with my statment.

turbo*s2k

The sc34 is very nice turbo for the street!

arent pretty much any random sc61 powered cars faster than similar setup sc34 cars?

david_rg79

IMHO for the ultimate street turbo you should look into a 50trim, we pushed our mr2 to 22psi on pump gass and we did 26psi on pump gass with our dsm
another option is the gt28rs AKA disco potatoe, the gt28rs spools so fast on the 2.0 engine that alot of people dont like it...say full boost 19psi at 2400rpms anyways just figured i would give you some more options, if you look around outside honda-land you will see a majority of the dsm's, mr2's celica's, evo's are all realizing that the 50 trim compressor has a very impressive compressor map where its 78% efficent on a 2.0L motor at 29psi@9000rpms, the turbo actially dosnt hit its efficency range until 17psi....I would say stay away form the gt25

just giving options to be diffrent

There are other cars besides hondas?

david_rg79

LOL...ya man, I love hondas, but i own other types of vechiles also, i'm a lover of all makes

If you need more top end punch for some reason, you can also look into an SC44, ... worked great for me.

Honestly on a stock motor I'd look into an SC50 or SC34... either would haul ***.

completeE

Go with the SC34, dynoed a sc34 @11psi it put down 314rwhp on a gsr motor and is very streetable
