b18b t25 questions
im using a garrett t25 from a nissan sr20det on my b18b. I have most of the parts and i am going to install the kit in the next week or so. I have a few questions for my install.
1. this is a coolant and oil cooled turbo. Should i run coolant through this turbo or just block it off? What are the benefits/drawbacks of using coolant in the turbo.
2. I am using 450 cc dsm injectors. Do you think this is a good size injector for this turbo?
3. using that fuel set up and a t25 turbo at around 9 pounds of boost what kind of numbers do you think i will be making? Im going to have j-k-tuning basemap my ecu for the tune.
4 what should i do for a down pipe. Do you think a down pipe from a nissan s13 or s14 would fit well?
any answers from people who have used a similar set up or really know what they are talking about would be very much appreciated. thanks guys

1. this is a coolant and oil cooled turbo. Should i run coolant through this turbo or just block it off? What are the benefits/drawbacks of using coolant in the turbo. Well the water helps keep the turbo from getting to hot and overheating the oil that is used to lubricate/cool it. yes you should run the coolent through it.
2. I am using 450 cc dsm injectors. Do you think this is a good size injector for this turbo? Yes, those injectors should work fine for your setup.
3. using that fuel set up and a t25 turbo at around 9 pounds of boost what kind of numbers do you think i will be making? Im going to have j-k-tuning basemap my ecu for the tune. Without knowing more on your setup one can't begin to estimate HP output. I would strongly suggest you get your car properly tuned, as the basemap is just that a "base" for a tune.
4. what should i do for a down pipe. Do you think a down pipe from a nissan s13 or s14 would fit well? The downpipe is going to be dependent on your manifold and your best bet would be to just bring it to a shop at can make up a downpipe for your specific setup. and no a nissian downpipe would not fit.

Re: b18b t25 questions
thanks a lot that helps me out. Once i send my ecu to be basmapped how do i hook up hondata or crome or whatever? Do i just get a laptop and a usb cable? What do i hook to my ecu and how. I am getting my ecu chipped mapped and socketed i guess the service j-k-tuning.com uses.
