About to start my first turbo build... b16a

[Limbo]

my bad dude

yeah i rem you had a wastegate inbetween the turbo & the engine. Can't comment, but you could be right. He does good work though, nice welds and he cleans up the inside really good for a nice flow.

I regret not getting the GT2860rs, i think it would have been a nicer track car. I got excited with more power and forgot that the basics that its only a 1.6ltr ;P

upgrading the pump is more of insurance, so that you get a consistant flow, especially when your wanting more fuel for those injectors

I've gone gt28r, gt2860rs and now gt2871r and i dont regret going larger at all.

only future will tell if i end up going gt30 or 35

[Limbo]

but u have a built engine, on a stock motor its gonna loose power rather than gain much more without blowing up

[FastFwd]

well of course your cant go gt30 or 35 on stock motor but i wouldnt pass the gt2871r. I love mine. The 10psi im running now could be run on a stock motor safely.

[Limbo]

yeah but i reckon it would be nicer on the .64 rear, rather than the .86 for my car.
I's like to try the .64 if i could, shouldn't have swapped the .64 for the .86

[FastFwd]

give that a try man...get a blown t28 they use the same exhaust housing dont they?

Hey mate

After reading your post It might be a good idea to buy a pre-fabricated turbo kit first time out or at the very lest read and learn for a few months more till you understand what's what.

Boosting a Honda's quite simple once understand it.

also regarding turbo size, check out the atp t3 gt2860rs (its t3 based so the housing is larger and will flow better to redline than the reg t28 flanged turbo), go an external gate if you can, otherwise if you want bigger i'd go straight to a gt30r in a .64 housing and skip the 2871 and 2876r. You will have better power with very similar boosting properties, with less back pressure too (hence the more power)

If you going a simple gt2860rs build, a log will suffice fine, otherwise go a mini ram or ramhorn manifold for better flow and wastegate placements etc.

hey Luke i do my own work ;p
just not all of it. I leave the hard bits to the experts

[MikeyG]

hey there,

i would suggest getting a decent intercooler not china brand... have a look at ARE intercooler they are abit expensive but they are excellent also for ecu i would suggest hondata s300... for your application i would use 400-600 injectors...

also i cannot stress that you get a decent manifold.. thats where the good power comes from.. i would look into full race manifolds that are great and produce power...

OR

theres a SPOOLIN turbo kit thats for sale and apparently they are quite good over the states

i have a GT28R and a hybrid with .63 rears if you want to give it a try :P
