i got a 1993 hatch with a b16.....i also have a 1987 buick grand national with a blown motor....yes i know im only 16 but i do have mechanical abilities....i was wondering does anyone know a manifold that will fit the grand national turbo on the b16....downpipe.....others...thanx h-t

 

all i know is the turbo is a .61 trim garrett....

 

I would think that turbo would be a but large for a stock(assuming) 1.6L motor, at a minimum I would think the lag would bea bitch.


If it was me I would sell the honda, and fix the GN?

 

well im in the situation where i can keep the hatch and fix the GN on the side.....so you think the 61 trim is a little large?

I would think its a "little large" seeing has how it is made to feed a motor about twice the size, but who knows.

Honestly kid, screw the Hatch... drive it long enough to give you time to fix the GN. When your 25, you will have no use for the Honda... and the GN will still be a classic.

 

im just saying i will have the old turbo and hard pipes and stuff i was going to do a total rebuild everything new.......

Cool, definately fix up the GN.. if you don't give it to me and I'll gladly do it...haha


Seriously, don't do a thing to the honda, you'll out grow it soon and never get your money back when you sell it. The GN is already classic, something a honda will never be.

 

If you really want to use the GN turbo, you would need all custom stuff (manifold and DP) and if that turbo is internal wastegate i would get ried of that (because i think GN is set at 15psi or so) and get and external one for 6psi or so.

Also you probably wont hit full boost til 6k or so, have fun with the lag.

If your goign to get a new turbo and all for the GN just sell the old one.

 

you think i will hit full boost at 6k...then it aint worth it is it?

Somewhere around there. Luserkid has a t3/t04 on his b18c1, and he doesn't hit full boost till about 4500-5000 RPM. That GN turbo is significantly larger.

 

what turbo size would be good then....stock b16.....anything else i should consider getting?....fuel pressure regulator....anytheng? thanx

 

I would get a t3 of some size. It depends weather you want a lot of top end of quick spooling time. I have a small t3 that will spool real quick but isnt as good for the top end. I would get into the Forced Induction section of HT and search around. You will find everything you need to know on there. Good luck

 

yeah its way to big I have a Turbonetics T4 57 trim and I hit full boost at 4300rpm's so

if I were you I would get a T3/T4 47 trim for the B16 it will spool up pretty quick but you wont make a **** load of power out of it though

 

any recommendations on where to get it or search the classifieds...
