ok... here is a question... i need to pick up a turbo manifold and i figure this is the best place to ask... i have a crew of five guys taking my box in as a project and they are going to build this set-up for me... now they have built countless civics that are well over 350 whp... so i need now the help from all of you turbo knowing people... what type of t3/t4 turbo should i get.,.. where should i get it from and what else do i need to know... looking for the biggest and best way to do this turbo!!! lend me some thoughts!

 

How much power are you looking to make?

 

as much as i can get out of this motor without blowin it up... and without re doin the pistons and the rods!

 

haha good luck with the not blowing up and getting new piston and rods but props on the attempt to pushing the limits of this lil motor

 

ok well lemme put it this way then... iu am turboing the car.. what kind of t3/t4 turbo should i get!!!

 

If you want the limits of this motor (stock) you DONT need or I would not even recommend going with such a large turbo. How much useable power do you want? The guys working on your car (honda guys)...you cant use the same concept to do the XB. Our engines dont rev as high as the honda motors and we dont want peaky power like the hondas.

 

Nevermind the limits of the motor, where are you going to put it? You wont fit that turbo in there.

Stay with a t25 or similair in sizing to that.

By the time you put a full kit together, you would be better off just getting the greddy kit

 

hey rollhard, if im ever in that area wanna take me for a spin? ill 3 wheel my xB in exchange

 

Of course! Ill be opening my new shop in Torrance so let me know if you are in the area. The only other people that been in my car is Rton and his wife.

 

im not far from torrance at all, im in fontana. and i go out that way alot. ill definately be checkin it out.

 

np man, look forward to meeting you. hopefully by the time you come out, ill have 100 more ponies.

 

If you are hellbent with sticking with a t3/t04e, this is the turbo I would suggest:

T3/T04E
.48 Exhaust Housing
Stage III Turbine

.50 A/R Compressor Housing
50 Trim Compressor wheels

This turbo will support 300 whp and although it is larger than a T25/T28 it will mave much more lag, this thing will have crazy power up top.

 

Remember his engine is stock. IMO, there is no point in having full boost from 4k rpm to 6300. oh well

 

I agree, but again, he was asking for a turbo that would produce high horse power that would work on the xB. I only gave him the specs of the turbo which is what he asked for. You and I both know that the factory wrist pins will not hold this power even with the correct fueling and engine management.

 

Well, lets see what happens. hehe.

 

What you need to do is plot out a compressor map. There is tons of info on the net on Garret T3/T04E turbos compressor maps.

 

marc what the hell is wrong with you man...you dont listen to a word I tell you do you

 

Yeah, I did get to ride in Rollhard's xB and it was a blast. You can definitely tell the difference between stock and boosted. I know he said he was still trying to work out the kinks, but having that much power in an xB was nice.

So what are you planning now Eloy? I saw you mention 100 more horsepower. You just going to up the boost until it breaks? Swap out to a different turbo? And are you closing the current Smoothlinez and relocating or opening up a second shop in Torrance?

Oh, and I never did get a chance to ask you... How did the dyno numbers on that C6 turn out? I saw the guy pulling in as we left that day.
