I found this also on the Honda-Tech forum.. this guy has a built D16Y8 (1.6L) 8.6:1 compression, and a T04E 60trim turbo .63 Stage 3 w/ 3" exhaust...





But to his credit - I think he's suffering from a boost leak.. it still shouldn't be that bad even with that size turbo.

 

Remember he is spooling it with 1.6L of displacement. You have 2.4L! THAT is a HUGE difference.


Typical Turbo Honda....TQ-less wonders. Here is one we did with our race manifold! Notice the TQ


1.7L with a T3/T04E 57 trim, Stage 3 .48 A/R

I have another one, different customer with the same manifold. 1 sec lemme find it.

 

Same 1.7L on a GT2871R BB on a T3 foot

 

Oh yeah I know his displacement is much lower.. and plus his compression is also much lower.

But his main issue (according to the thread) was his boost leak. I just think it's funny how he only has a 1.5k powerband with a 7k revlimit.. lol!

He's not going to get much use out of that turbo unless he raises his revlimit and fixes his leak.

 

dang lag, i could fall asleep before it pulls haha but some hondas does have those kind of lag especially those running extra large turbo and tries to get high HP

 

Paul, what was the hotside AR on that GT2871R?

 

Don't recall. Sorry

 

at least they rev a lil higher and still make power

 

That's alright.

I still feel that on our 2.4L, the .48 AR hotside is still great because of our low revlimit. The .63 may give just a tad more HP at the very top - but unless the revlimit is upped to say 7k, I think the quick spool and more lowend torque may feel more fun.
