I was wondering what turbo would be good for a d16z6. I plan on boosting reliably, not for the most power. I was thinking of some of the mitsubishi turbos that can be had farily cheap like the 14b, t25,16g etc. Or if I can't find any of those I was thinking maybe like a t3 super 60 or something. With it being my daily driver, quick spool up and most area under the curve are my main concerns as well as price...Id like to buy a turbo for less than 4-500.

Also please include how much it cost and where you goy it as well as spool up time

t3/t4 50 trim with .63 a/r
a 57 trim will do just fine aswell

 

T3 super 60 with .48AR stage III turbine wheel. My friend had this on his d16 made 208whp at 6psi full spool at 4500rpm's.

 

check my sig

 

t3 super 60!

WOW...What's your full setup please?

 

^-- One more vote for a 14b. Can be had cheap (please, check junkyards, local classifieds, message boards, etc as many people get way too much for stock used turbos on ebay). With a cx manifold and an adapter plate you won't be too far away from reaching your goal. Good luck.

adapter plate
(bmcrace.com's prices are so good I'm not sure I can justify making one)
jrc / cca / ebay intercooler
chipping kit for a p05 / p06 /p28, and a burner (xenocron.com, moates.net)
uberdata / crome
some bends and straight pipe from jcwhitney
silicon couplers are only $4 a piece from racing-solutions.net (?? unsure of name)

check homemadeturbo.com for doing research on much of the stuff i listed off above.


If you shop around for the turbo you could probably get away with buying (at least most of) your whole kit for the price you listed as your turbo budget. This assumes of course that you will be assembling it yourself, and have access to a welder. If you don't have one / don't feel comfortable welding, you can just use all couplers instead of welding sections together, and make beads on the charge pipes with some kind of epoxy. Try and get the stock exhaust housing with whatever turbo you get, should make the downpipe fab easier. Again bmcrace is a good source for flanges (also jcwhitney.com has exhaust flanges for $2-3 / piece).


edit: a t3/t4 50 or 57 trim is kind of (really) big for this power goal. I think those turbos are capable of flowing almost twice that

 

Are t25s good too. I've found several on ebay either freshly rebuilt for around 200 or in as is/used condition for 50-75...one of which is off of a 99 GSX eclipse that had less than 60k on it.

 

if you don't want more than 200-250whp go with 15g or 14b. very streetable and spools quick. Just be sure you don't want more later cause if you do go with t3t4 50trim or super 60

if the goal is only 200-225 why the hell spen a bunch of money on a hybrid when a straight t3 will do the job just fine? seems like a lot of overkill...

 

i'd use a super 60 just so you have a little bit of headroom for the future and it spools super quick also

 

I'd say a 45 or 50 trim T3, stage 1 .48ar exhaust (if you can find it new...), &gt; .42ar compressor housing, 2.5/3 bar map sensor, boost &gt; 15psi.

BTW, I'm running a s-trim t3/t04b (37lb/min vs 36lb/min of a 60trim t3), .48ar stg1 exhaust, full 3" dp/exhaust, 2.5" chargepipes, jrsc 6" fmic, and a stock d16z6 w/uberdata - with an HF manifold. The maps would suggest enough fuel used for 220whp; starts spooling at ~3k, 9psi at ~4k. Nothing beats a 3000 rpm powerband.
