B16a t3/t4

[?uestlove]

Hey guys, Ive notice this kit is quite popular for the B16a, can anyone shed some light as to why? Isnt it a very big turbo, and for simplicity, wouldnt you just be happy with a DiscoPotato?

Is it essential to have the internals done, or maybe just a HG? What about cams?

Does anyone have this kit on theirs? whats responce and power like?

I'm keen to know exactally what a "t3/t4" generally describes - because technically, it is near meaningless.

The big problem with standard blocks is the cast ringlands. They melt and eventually you'll have no compression in one (or more) of your cylinders.

err i think he's talking about a t3 turbo with a t4 bell housing.
Yes it is big, but all comes down to what your looking to do with the car.
The T3 will hit later and will have abit more lag but has more potential for big power. I've been looking into it also. You might want something more like a T28 ball bearing if your gonna make it a daily driver. It will give the car better response
