ok
I have a 95 ej1 b16a stock bottom end itr cams itr manifold itr tb and arp head studs and a new oem HG and TBelt
i plan on turboing it this fall and I need some help reading compressor maps or some help with lag and spool.
I would like to use one of the easily aquirable t3 units prefferably from a ford or saab application.
Im having trouble with picking a size. I searched and found very few vague answers. I have narrowed it down to the .42/.48, the .48/.60, and the .60/.63
I guess what im asking is where would these 3 achive full bost and will they hold it to the upper RPM's. im looking to boost 6-8lbs. I really dont care what hp #s i get from this and really want the power to be very linear and I dont care if it holds boost till redline. I rarely ever go there. I just want some more oomph.

2nd question
my father has a 93 si hatch with the d16z6
does anyone have pics of or links of a d series turbo..hes using the .42/.48 T3...with air, ps, windshield washers and fog lights...hes 55 and would like to keep these creature comforts.. any help would be appreciated

 

i understand that the smaller one will spool quicker but i want to choose the one that is suited to my engine the best.... you know b16 tranny on the interstate @ 70 mph i dont want to be at full boost lol


backyard style?

 

ttt

 

bump for some more responses

greddy bolt on........you can prob find it for cheap out there if you look....the kit isnt that great for power or adding on to it, but you keep everything and the car has a nice feel to it after, plus you can basically keep the motor stock, id still get a bigger fuel pump though

Since you are only wanting 5-6 PSI, I think a straight T3 would be more than enough. The small TD04-15G that comes on the SRT-4 can provide 13-14 PSI at 6000 RPM and thats on a 2.4L...so a 1.6L at 7500-8000 shouldn't be hard.

The "boost" will be a by-product of how much load you are putting on the engine. If your just cruising at 70 MPH even if its at 4000 RPM, the turbo will not be given much load, so as a result it will not boost (you will probably still be in vacuum). However once you start to push the accelerator (like to pass someone) the engine load will increase and the exhaust gas energy will pick up, this will cause the turbo to start spooling.

 

what size would that "straight" t3 be?
and thanks for clearing up the interstate thing for me

Sorry I thought you were saying he was using a T3, not a T3/T04 hybrid like most poeple do.

 

t3/t4 hybrid on a d16z6??
id actually use the t3 on both motors just trying to figure size on mine
