Default Turbo ******... If you've owned more than 3 turbo's let me know what you like!

since you've obviously had a boosted car for a while...owning three different turbos...let me know what you like the most after experiencing all three.

Something rather small... 14b, t-25, T3, GT28RS

something rather medium sized t3/t4 .50 trim all the way to .82AR .60trim's

something big T4, t3/T67, GT30R-40R, PT63 etc

I've got a t3/to4s with a .63AR turbine 76 trim exhaust... .70AR compressor 60trim making ~400whp/390ft lbs Im wondering should I go bigger....go smaller or am I juuuuuust right. I think for the street 350 whp is about all that I really want. Somewhere near that with an gear dependant boost controller...so I can get traction down low. Also a nice GT35R could be a riot. let me know what YOU think you liked the most after being through a couple of turbos. And why

holy #@$% .... you are making 400hp and 390ft lbs??? what motor is this on?

I have owned a very small T3.....48 A/R and it was ok.

I am greedy and want mad powah so now I have a T4/T67 with a .70 A/R and I still like it except for not tractioin in first gear and sometimes second on the street.

I've owned t3/t4 w/ .48 a/r, .63 a/r stage 3, t3/t4 with stage 5 1.0 a/r, t3/60-1 w/stage 5 .63 a/r, t4/t67 p trim .58 a/r. I like the T4/T67 the best of all.

Now I have GT42R.

I would go with T4/T67.

i had a revhard custom turbo kit with to4e/t3 (unknown what trim it was 1998 and i was a noob)

hytech pt67/T4

Full race top mount gt4067

the best power band was the hytech pt67/t4

the smallest turbo i would ever go on a honda is a gt35R / t3

first:
87 t type stock t3 went 14.7
when it failed went with a TE 32E guessed 435 rwhp good for 11.81 in a 3400 lb car

second:
to4b drag kit, 330 fwhp 17 psi with a slipping clutch,

and now a t3-t67 will let you know the results.

I've had:

t3 .42/.48 (stock LS)
t3/to4e .63/.50(Stock LS)
t3/to4e .63/60(GSR)
t4/to4e .80/.70(Built GSR)

I liked the straight t3 due to it's immediate spool and instant power but, the T4 had the best top end. I guess it all depends on your goals and what the car will be used for.
