i wanna get like 450whp at about 18psi on my b16 stock bore stock stroke
i have 9.0:1 supertech pistons with ferrera flat faced valves so i dont know the true compression ratio

You must put forth the effort to deal with your purchase that you knew nothing about. The only way to know even a remote idea of this turbocharger's capabilities are to

1) take more photos of the turbocharger at both the compressor and exhaust housings and wheels.

2) Take measurements of the turbocharger's inducer and exducer sizes on both the compessor wheel and exhaust wheels (there are diagrams on what to look for.. you will more than likely need to remove your housings in order to do so).

3) don't worry about the PSI so much. Since you were unable to understand the specifications of your purchase, you'll need to get your expectations out of the way, and either deal with what power the turbo gives you, or get another one entirely.

Unfortunately, this is what happens to those who are too worried about the great deal to save money, but have no idea what it is they purchased. (this is only an inference as 90% of the cases that involve your question are based upon this situation. If this does not fit your situation, my apologies.)

Once we have that information, we may be of better help to you.

Oh hohoho. Just by removing the covers I can tell that this is a much smaller very old design double bladed wheel and tangential housing. This came from a smaller tractor or even a combine. This was a wheel that was made for low speed, larger torque, diesel applications. (This isn't even close to anything in the HX series of a Holset, so guys before making comments, realize that the HX series is a different animal completely.)

No 450whp on this thing, not even remotely close.

And a low flowing cylinder head (all SR20DETs are like that).

List your budget (maximum willingness to pay for a turbo), flange type, bearing type (Journal or ball-bearing), use of the car. Although you listed a power output... put that output into perspective..(what fuel do you want to make this power? Do you want more later? What is the engine setup you have.

Please don't use an E.T as an example, or a "as cheap as possible while making the most power at XXpsi of boost pressure". Doesn't help. be realistic on what you plan to tune with as well as make sure you have the supporting mods to make the power you want.

Once you do that... PM me
