Found a t5 turbo on a volvo today! just need to know if its gonna be to laggy and will it hold til the redline? its going on a d16z6 dont know what trim it is either any help would be appreciated as im an fi noob!

 

trim/ is a little important...i would think itd probably be a little laggy, since the engine it has been designed for is at least a liter bigger(?) than your civic engine thus taking more time to spool from exhaust.

 

yeh thats what i thought thanks for the input

It's not a T5. I'm pretty sure there is no such thing as a T5. As far as the turbo off of a volvo on a d16z6, that's what I run. I have a turbo that came off either a 740 or a 760... I beleive it's a .48ar T3. It's a great match. You'll love it, so take it if the price is right (and it's in good shape). They are a pain in the *** to use, you'll have to come up with a way to grind the flange... But I did it, with just a rotary sander and an hour of my time. Now it works good with my drag manifold. You'll probably have to lose the internal gate if you want to keep AC.

Good luck.
