Hey guys what going on. Im pretty new here so take it easy on me. Im sort of new to honda's but not to FI. Well anyways, i finished up my B17 GSR engine swap a couple months ago. And i think i want boost. I have had boosted cars in the past (twin turbo 300zx, KA-T 240sx, etc).

Anyways i was just wanting to get some feedback on what would be a good turbo.
Im gonna leave all the internals stock, I would like a pretty fast spool around 3500-4000 rpm's, I would like for it to hold all the way to redline (8100rpm's), and I would like to try to make around 250Whp. Its my daily so i dont wanna do anything to crazy.

I've searched for turbo sizes and stuff but not that many people turbo B17's just for the fact there were only 5000 made. So any feedback would be awesome.

 

I would look into either the T3 Super 60 or a T3/To4e 50 trim .63ar. Those two turbos would spool rather fast and have power through redline. They'll also make the power you're looking for.

agree'd
you dont need to go baller.(gt)

i had more fun driving my 330whp b16 on the street with a t04b.

 

Another good turbo for you would be the GT3251 or GT3255b. I used the latter on my GSR and made 315whp on 10.5psi and had full boost by 3800rpm. Here's the dyno graph if you're interested...

 

What car does the GT3255b come off? I just GooGoo'd it and came back with nothing...

Or is it a Hybrid?

Its not off anything. It was a custom turbo built by Speed Trapp Consulting. If you PM TheShodan, he can give you more information about it.

 

We typicially don't like to use turbos "off of" many things. (those of us with a decent budget). The GT3255 is not as scary in price as the designation looks. It is nice, to say the least.

True story.

That's a good point...it costs a little more than a 57 trim and worth every penny

 

What about this one?

You guys think there is anything else on the cheaper side? Garrett?

 

No...that turbo is overpriced as hell. Check the marketplace. Support those who support Honda-tech. Not only that, you'll find a lot better deals

 

I sort of meant, a turbo like the one i gave a link to. I would never buy that. It is way over priced like you said.

 

Thats basically what you're looking for though, yes. Personally, i've never been a Turbonetics fan. I would look into a Garrett T3/To4e 50trim .63 ar or the Garrett T3 Super 60. Both of those turbos are fairly cheap and can be found new in the Sponsor's Marketplace or used in the Classifieds: Forced Induction in the Marketplace.

 

I appreciate you guys helpin me out. Yeah, im defintely goin with the T3/TO4E or the Super 60.
