Default what size turbo for b16 (trim, a/r)?

What size turbo do you guys think is best matched to a b16 in a 2000 civic si. I was thinkin .57 trim .60 a/r compressor but what would be better for turbine .48 a/r or .63 a/r. I was planning on 8 - 10 psi daily with a hondata. Any suggestions? Thanks

If I had your car I would run a T3 Super 60 with a .63 A/R turbine. It would provide both quick spool-up and still have good top-end power.

I agree with that SiRkid, if he wants the killer top-end at the expense of spool time.

A T3 60 is a good one for you, they come on turbo Thunderbirds, some Saab's, and I believe Grand Nationals as well.

if you want great top end power along with fairly good spool go with the following T3/T04E:

.63 A/R Turbine Housing
Stage III Turbine

.50 A/R Compressor
50 Trim compressor

This turbo is good for the 325-350 whp range! It will have great top end while spooling fairly quick for a larger turbo; ~3200-3700 rpms!

The .48 A/R turbine housing is way too small for a B16A! It will run out of air up top!

Well said, I agree totally with your suggestion. Is all of this sinking in BlueSi2k?

yup, i may only have 12 posts on here lol but ive been doin my research for months on basically all the honda boards. so far my plan looks like this:

T3/T40e turbo
SFP Manifold
Tial Wastegate
Greddy Type s BOV
Custom 3" downpipe, test pipe, and exhaust to an apexi turbo muffler
Greddy type 24 intercooler
Hondata 2b + conversion harness + p28 ecu
rc 440cc or dsm 450cc injectors
Custom charge pipes
ClutchMasters stage 3 or maybe clutchnet stage 2 since its only 300
stainless oil feed and return lines
Greddy profec b boost controller

i think thats it but im probably forgetting something. What do you think of that setup. You think i can hit 250 whp at around 8psi? how about 10psi? Thanks
