its bigger but its not oh my god bigger. t6 isnt allowed on our cars for sanctioned events like boti.

you can compare it to the jump from t3 to t4.

Are you considering a T6 for your honduh? I dont know about spoolin but the T6's I have seen are HUGE. I doubt there is even enough exhaust velocity to spool a T6 on little motors like ours unless its some pro-class car.

No, just the 4294 im getting and has a T6 inlet. I guess i can drill new holes in my current T4 flange.

the t6 flange is larger then the t4, i dont think that will work drilling holes in the T4 flange to mount a T6 on it. Why would you use a t6 anyway, thats not a good idea. but of course not long ago did people balk at putting a gt42 on a honda engine

i think the guy im buying the turbo from is confused about the housing. I think it is the large diesel housing it comes with not a t6. because the housing is divided and i believe the t6 housings dont come with divided housings. Its a 1.22 a/r exhaust housing.

yeah but that turbo above is T6 and its divided.

bigger than i remember but still not a good idea for a honda engine that isn't going to make over 1,000hp unless you just want to experiment.
