Default What size turbo?

Once again I have changed my mind on a turbo setup. I may try to get in on the turbo group buy, then peice the ket together with the parts I want.

Anyways, I will be runnning the turbo on a stock b18b for now. In the furture, I plan on a b18b block, Golden Eagle sleeves(84mm or 85mm bore), Je pistons, eagle rods, and a Vtec head.

On my stock block, I will run no more than 10 lbs of boost, with hondata of coarse. Im not sure how much I want to run when I have a built block.

What compressor trim & exhaust a/r would work well now and when I have a built engine? Here are the trims offered to my knowledge:

compressor trim: .50, .54, .57
exhaust a/r: .48 or .63

Thanks for any info.

What do you guys think of this:
Compressor trim: .57
Exhaust a/r: .63

That is what FFGeoff used to run 12.0 with his stock b18b. Would there be alot of lag with that big of a turbo with a stock b18b (7000 rpm redline)?

Also, is 10 psi 10 psi no matter what size of a turbo? Would I make more power with a larger turbo?

a larger turbo will make more power at the same amount of boost, because it is flowing more air.

Thanks falcon! I'll know within 2 weeks if I will beable to get in on this. I sure hope everything works out!!!!

Here is my planed setup:

Stock b18b
Skunk 2 cam gears
ClutchNet stage 2
ITR flywheel
Hondata 2b
DSM 450 injectors
Walbro fuel pump
MaxRev manifold
MaxRev full 3" DP
MaxRev 20x8x3 inch IC
"Custom" do-it-myself piping
HKS Super Sequential BOV
Tile 35mm WG
Turbo XS High Performace MBC
Thermal 3"

I probably lest somthing out, but I got the basic stuff down.

a larger turbo will make more power at the same amount of boost, because it is flowing more air.
what he said, and to give you an example:

10 PSI on a straight T3

10 PSI on a T4/T3

obviously a lot of "power" is lost in the T3's due to it's "restrictive" size....or something like that.
