Default Turbocharging a DOHC ZC...

Ok here is my dilemma, i know everything i need etc.

I just can't decide on a turbo. My car is a 88' CRX DX, with a DOHC ZC Swap in it.

This car is going to be a daily driver, and i just can't decide on which turbo i want to use. I have seen t25 is most popular, but i have also heard it is kinda small for a ZC. I don't want to have to upgrade my stock internals, and i plan on only running around 8psi.

Any ideas? is the t25 the best bet?

you should look into the KKK k26 turbo. It's very close to a Garrett T3. I'm pretty sure it would work really well on the ZC. these turbos can be found on early 90s AUDIs and Porches.

But thatt's just me...

I endorse the 14b off a 1g dsm. The t25 will off at high rpms but will be good for down low. The 14b on the other hand will keep flowing even at higher rpms. It is also a very common turbo, so there are plenty of them around and plenty of the miscellaneous parts you will need for it.

i'm going with the 14b for my ZC, but if i cant find a decent 14b i may go with a t25. both good turbos, but 14b gets my first vote, t25 is a close second.

I'd recomend a garrett t-3 off of a saab. it's a little bigger then the t25 so it will flow a little more.

14b .. capable of raking in more horsepower than the t25.

I also agree. 14b is a better choice between the two. Best choice would be a proper t3/T4e setup, but that is 5 times the price of a 14b.
