hi wounding if u could help me out on picking a turbo for a d series engine. i drive a 95 civc. So fare the turbos i herd about r the T3 ,T-25 and the 14b what r the pros and cons on theres turbos? im a daily driver that wants a lil bit more pep! (low boost may be 6psi) also realy want my car to sound cool!!! what turbo would u recommed ??? thanks alot

 

i will just talk about the 14B

with the HF manifold i get full boost @3800

and once i get my custom manifold made, i hope to get full boost @ 3500

the turbo gives me great mid to top end power
i love it.... and i am at the stock wastegate of 9 psi

cant wait until i tune it to 12 psi and see what it has to offer

but my dyno tells ya how good of a mid power band it provides UNTUNED

 

14b. Cheap and effective.

T25 is too small.

 

either go with a 14b or a t3 .42/48

 

14b or 16g.

 

I had a few t25's and now have a t3. I think the t25's were awesome for driving around town. You have power RIGHT off the bat, but they do somewhat die up top.

 

My T25 is spooled right out of the clutch.. like 2K...

but, after about 4-5K, you can't hear it scream anymore.. holds 6 PSI, but sounds like its got no more juice. hehe

even though its a 1.5, i can only imagine what it would do to a bigger, longer RPM engine. (my redline is 6K)

 

click the link in my sig about the stolen car. in my garage i have a link to a short video of my d16z6 with a t3 .60/.48 on 6 psi(dont let the boost gauge fool you, it read 1 psi high). if you want instant spool and dont want to go to redline much 14b imo

 

Nice vid. The 48/60 is my fav. on a D series, but for "zippy" fast just driving around town I'd go T25 or 14B. For topend kicks in the *** you're gonna need something bigger. It's personal prefferance (sp)

 

Go 14b.

 

T25 ( will choke on stock motor, too smal )

14 B great choice, 16 G the same

best of all : GT28R hoooo yeheaaa baby

Kranked

 

T3 is the clear winner IMO. 10psi by 4k+/- in most D16 applications with a junkyard T3 and a good exhaust. much better topend than most t25/t28s, more parts, manifolds, WGs available and they are cheaper. What more could you want?

 

t3

 

16G

its all in preference and what you have availability to.

 

14b, i had it and it was nice quick spool too

 

There are way less turbo Honda parts supporting the 16G, T3 is well supported. T3s are plentiful and way sweeter. My D15 spools my 48/60 fine, get a T3.

 

pm if you need a t3 turbo.

 

Not to thread jack or anything but, horsepower wise, where does the 14b top out on a d series?

 

That there is, but it is a great turbo for the single cams
