In the process of boosting my 98 prelude. I know all about the weak ringlands and sleeve problems. I've heard I'll be fine with 7psi and i heard i wont be fine at 7psi. I am getting it resleeved and everything next winter. So i am going to risk it. . with that out of the way

The question
I am going to be buying a TO4E turbo. its pretty big with A compressor AR of .60 and a exhaust of .60... Is this going to cause more wear on my engine than a smaller turbo at the same psi? I know the to4e is going to have more CFM but does that matter when it comes to ringlands and sleeves?
Thanks

 

Good question...

As far as the exhaust turbine specs, are you sure it is not a t3 .63 a/r?

This turbo should be safe when ran with 7psi and an adequately sized intercooler.

 

Im sorryI got confused. this is the size of the turbo (57 trim T04E, stage 3 turbine .63 AR capable of 400 hp) Thatw what he sent me

 

ehh intercooler size won't really play since 99% of us run gigantic intercoolers for our setups, anyway....... just run it rich, you'll be fine
