Looking for turbo input for 300-350hp. trying to spend less than 700 on the turbo and still buy new with a legit warranty. Currently have sc61 and too big and late boost for me.

Setup:
B16a2 stock block, new timing belt, water pump and valve adjustment.
255 walbro
ID1000 injectors
omni 3 or 4 bar map sensor
synapse mini ram t3 manifold
s300
sc61 @12lb and low cut

So basically I didn't like the cut this would encounter. Very scary. Its also been too long since I've even driven this car and its really making me sad.
I tried to download the tune off of this ecu and somehow messed up(different software version? original tune by CCC) the tune by downloading it? feels like timing.
I'm looking for a small turbo as I'm bringing the civic to the tuner Quantum race works near Albany NY next week. There are also black friday sales going on with a turbo maker named @BoostLab . I was hoping someone like @TheShodan would help. I have found a turbo option, its a Boost Labs 5858 billet turbo with either a .48ar or a .63 ar. My goal is 300-350 with boost by gear set up nicely. link to turbo is here. The seller recommended .48ar for fast spool? and a different tuner @HumblePerformanceROX said I should go with a .63 as it is better balanced(another person at Quantum said the same). Basically I just want boost to hit earlier while still being able to feed the stock engine. Nothing Crazy. The last setup had the turbo and vtec basically at 5200 rpms and then would hit fuel cut or something at like 7000 rmp(1800rpm of garbage, but still exhilarating). In a perfect world I'd have a smaller turbo that gains boost at 3500 and rides it to 8200 and lands me in the 320-350 range safely. Will a 5858 work with this at either .48 or .63? its sale price is about 624 at time of this posting until Friday. Could anyone recommend something?

 

Where did you find a 5858 for $600??? I just got mine for $1000. That turbo is rated at 620hp and if you look, some dude said maxed it out at 740hp. That turbo is way too big for what you are trying to do.

 

Oooops didn't comprehend lol. Mine is a precision. Still think turbo is too big for what you are trying to do.

 

Agreed. Talk to Greg @ Go-@Autoworks . You may want to open up your budget just a little bit. Either way, a smaller turbo with newer tech will give you that fat power band you're looking for.

 

Thanks everyone. I spoke with Greg from go autoworks and he set me up straight with a precision 5531e. Should be good for my goals with a little extra for future. Thank again everybody!!!!

 

Thank you Dax, I appreciate it

Thanks for calling, I appreciate it
