i currently have a t3 that hasn't been instaled yet, but i'm wondering if i should sell it and get something else. I have a b16 with 9000 rpm redline and i was told that the t3 runs out of juice at 5500 rpms. how would a t3/t4 hybrid with 48 a/r exhaust and 60 a/r compressor do. is this too big and i should get the 50 a/r compressor. i want to run 8 lbs and run up to 15 in the future.

 

If you want to run up to 15 in the future I would Look into something like this....

A .63AR turbine housing and .6 compressor.

The .63 is better suited for a high reving B16 and especially if your going to boost up to 15psi.

The T3 will undoubtubly be too small for 15psi.

 

Buy more turbo than you think you need, I don't think you'll ever regret it. One of the GT30's would give you the spool you would probably like on the B16, but still have the top end too. I know they are expensive but so is buying a new turbo every year 'til you get what you want.

 

I would also think about using one of Precision's turbos...

They are ball berring, and cost almost 1/2 the price of a GT.

A PT60 would be perfect for your plans.

 

thanks for the replys, do these turbo's mentioned have a standard t3 flange or will i have to modify my manifold. Also, i can have a t3/t4 with exhaust a/r of 48 and compressor a/r of 60 for real cheap. will this turbo give me the top end power i want until i can afford ballbearing turbo, or should i just wait.
