Don't know where you're getting this 7-9PSI stuff from but the FAQs are up there to give you some knowledge. You should read them.

Garret TO4E .50 or .57 trim .63 AR, good turbo for stock DD B series.

Thank you sir. And also my choice on a turbo for my build, finally lol.

I'm a GT3255b Journal Bearing myself. I'll pm you a picture if you'd like. I didn't want to take away from the OP's thread.

Gsrsi

go ahead and post here.

And what do u think about a m24 garret

Gsrsi

Or a t25 ball bearing

TheShodan

M24 is a housing part number, not a turbocharger. They are stamped on about 20 different housings.

And just NO to GT25 ball-bearing. those are under 30lbs/min, you can't do anything about those, especially if you think you have one from some DSM.


Here is a picture of the GT3255b journal bearing. (This one was specially coated)

Gsrsi

the t25 is from a 240

TheShodan

Still.. NO. that's not going to cut it for your application. Not even close. And please don't give the argument that a friend with a 240 (be it SR20DET or KA24DE) made that power, because he didn't. The cylinder head designs are completely different from one another in which (believe it or not) your cylinder head ALONE could outflow that small of a turbocharger.

i also found a xs power turbo its .60 trim brand new for cheap any opinions

You just went backwards. don't deal with XS POwer, SS AUtochrome, or Godspeed..

If it doesn't say Garrett/Precision/Turbonetics/Borg-Warner/STC/Holset/ or HKS turbos, stay the hell away from it.

Start looking on setups that have the quality builds and go from there. Stop just asking about generic turbos that have no relationship with one another. I won't give comments on every little junkyard or "Deal" turbo that you find. That's not how the FI section works. Do some investigation of your own. check the FAQs.

Know the following information

Budget for a turbo
Power goals
Use for the car
What do you want to do eventually? (no E.Ts please)
what setups have you seen that are similar to what you want?
Have you driven a turbo honda before? (If so, what power? what motor was in it?)

I will check into a GT3255b.

I believe this was Schister66's old dyno with this turbo. This was at 9psi IIRC



And his setup.. I don't know if he sold the car.

-100% bone stock B18C1
-HP Racing Intake manifold
-SLS Shorty ramhorn
-STC built GT3255b v2 (both housings are coated--exhaust is black and compressor is "dark ample blue")
-3" dp and exhaust
-Tial 38mm wastegate
-Tial 50mm bov
-RC550cc injectors
-DSM resistor box and OBD1 Honda injector clips
-CCA 6" intercooler
-Fasturbo Vac manifold
-Hallman MBC
-2.5" Charge piping
-Vibrant 4ply couplers and t bolts
-Stealthmode Oil line kit
-Exedy Stage 2 clutch and pressure plate
-ACT 11lb flywheel

Very nice, smooth power curve and really starts to come alive at about 4000rpms. This would be a very good turbo for my goals. So Garret makes the GT3255b correct? Funny most of these are a big larger turbos than I figured would be good for 250-300whp. I thought that DSM turbos where decent for a B series Vtec motor. If I got this right you said the Vtec heads out flow those smaller turbos correct?

TheShodan

A DSM turbo can barely work with a DSM much less a VTEC Honda Cylinder head. Get that out of your mind now.

nealnanoHX

Ok thanks thats kind of what I got from your posts. You are very knowledgeable and I have respect for you and your turbo info, thank you. PMed you a few times.

nealnanoHX

Sorry to thread jack again one last quick question. This is the mani I will be using (not the waste gate)


I know its not the best, I will port it out to make it flow a bit better. This is just for my lower budget build. Once I build a block a completely different turbo set up will go on it. Question is will the GT3255b have any fitment issues? Keeping AC and PS for now.

TheShodan

iTrader: (14)

That depends upon who fabricates the downpipe.. But for the most part, the GT3255b keeps you from grinding the block down, because it is an B cover and not an E, where most have to be ground down a little bit.

Though I would NOT use that manifold because of the poor wastagate placement. (and looks like a sh!tty wastegate)

Gsrsi

If you have a waste gate on only one runner you experience boost creep.
