i got this garrett turbo t25 off a i think its a turbo grand prix....everything is ok no shaft play, no cracks, etc...its a good turbo...but the thing that confuses me is its a .80 a/r...yep thats right a .80 A/R! most of my friends said it wouldnt work on my b16 it would blow up! but they are not sure about it tho...so do you guys think its ok? here are some pix of it...

 

bump

 

it will work, that is probably from sr20det, not a grad prix, but you will make boost, but keep it low psi, i think that is about 7 or 8 stock, it does have a large ar, but it is a t25 which is kinda small, so it should in higher rpms

 

its .80 AR is still smaller than a t3 63 A/r if u gonna compare sizes.

meanin those numbers are the T25 family. not the t3. totally different sizes

exactly. A/R is really the least important spec you need to know when hunting for a turbo, but for some reason they print it one the outside (its becasue thats the spec for the housing i guess..but still!!)...if they put lbs/hr that would be much more useful for all of you guys trying to use these factory turbos on your hondas.

so this turbo would be ok for my b16? and thanks again guys for answering all my questions!

 

it will work just fine, just dont expect huge numbers out of it. it'll be kinda like driving an all motor honda with torque

4000rpm- what happened!?!
5000rpm- ummm, did a charge pipe come off?

LOL

 

well im building my coupe for auto cross and i heard that people perfer the t25 cuz it spools quicker in corners.....

 

the other thing is what kind of injectors you think you guys recommend? 310 or 450?

 

I used to hit redline in 2nd all the time with my turbo D16 in Autox. I had a stratight T3 which is quite a bit bigger then your turbo, my engine was smaller and boost response was instant. Think about it, when are you actually under 3000 rpm in auto-x. That is the only place a mini turbo will help you. btw - I also ran a t25 like yours for a little while. It fell off 2000 rpm before redilne.

you can justify it all you want but that turbo is going to ruin your free-reving motor. At the very least get a straight T3 60 trim if you auto-x like every week otherwise a small hybrid is a MUCH better match for a street car.

 

that turbo is too small for a b16 and yes, when you are talking about a different class of wheels, ar is totally different.

do all of us a favor and nut check your firends and tell them how fuckign stupid they are
