it will work, that is probably from sr20det, not a grad prix, but you will make boost, but keep it low psi, i think that is about 7 or 8 stock, it does have a large ar, but it is a t25 which is kinda small, so it should in higher rpms

its .80 AR is still smaller than a t3 63 A/r if u gonna compare sizes.
meanin those numbers are the T25 family. not the t3. totally different sizes

exactly. A/R is really the least important spec you need to know when hunting for a turbo, but for some reason they print it one the outside (its becasue thats the spec for the housing i guess..but still!!)...if they put lbs/hr that would be much more useful for all of you guys trying to use these factory turbos on your hondas.

Re: (akitomoto)
I used to hit redline in 2nd all the time with my turbo D16 in Autox. I had a stratight T3 which is quite a bit bigger then your turbo, my engine was smaller and boost response was instant. Think about it, when are you actually under 3000 rpm in auto-x. That is the only place a mini turbo will help you. btw - I also ran a t25 like yours for a little while. It fell off 2000 rpm before redilne.
you can justify it all you want but that turbo is going to ruin your free-reving motor. At the very least get a straight T3 60 trim if you auto-x like every week otherwise a small hybrid is a MUCH better match for a street car.

that turbo is too small for a b16 and yes, when you are talking about a different class of wheels, ar is totally different.
