i searched but the threads didn't reveal much. i have a t51r kai i am thinking of using on my 92 integra. it has a fully built 2.0 ls/vtec with 9:5.1 compresson, built ported gsr head with jg 296/300 cams, jg intake manifold, rpm services 74mm throttle body, etc. i know its big and will have lag, but just what do get some opinions from knowledgeable people. i am looking to make over 600hp on race gas and whatever i can make on crappy cali 91 octane. anyone have experience with it on a honda? when do you think i could get full boost? how well do you think it could work?

specs:

HKS T51R KAI - 800 PS Output

COMPRESSOR:
-Wheel- 56 Trim - 70.3 Inducer / 94.0 Major
-Housing- 100 Inlet / 80 Outlet

From what I understand they are the same.

is the pt71 you're running even larger?

It's still legal for SFWD, but damn that is one big turbo.

I wonder if you can get a smaller turbine. The 1.00ar is quite large for any street honda.

I would also like too add, that most of the HKS/greddy turbo's are overpriced JDM ******.

Precision Turbo offers these turbos with a MUCH BETTER SELECTION of turbine as well as Compressor housings available!

Thats the understatement of the year, isn't it?

 

i got the turbo for $1200 new. i would say thats not a bad price. but i do agree it is overpriced

So sell that bitch to some supra guy for 2500, because a 1.00 A/R ain't doing **** on a honda. An SC61 with a .63 A/R T3 housing can make over 600 WHP, you do not need a turbo that huge. I would think that with that massive of a hot side you would be looking at atleast 7500 RPM's for full spool.

 

uglyasscivic, where do you get full boost at with the pt71?

 

ya, i have been thinking of selling it

Wow... so you are reving that thing around 12k. Damn.

 

anybody have any experience with a t51r on a honda? wasn't there a guy with a civic on here with one?

 

lol. No, thats just low boost. 12k would be crazy if torque didnt fall off.

You know, for such a gargantuan turbo, 16 pounds of boost before 6000 RPM's ain't half bad. If you don't mind my asking, what exhaust wheel and A/R are you running? I'm going to guess GTQ wheel and a .68 housing?
