to be 100% honest i dont know the difference in any... i just thought that the t3/t04b was the right one. i read it in alot of those setups online :-S. i take it thats not a desirable one for my setup then...

thanks for the advice. keep it going.

T25 for instant boost out of a corner. Good sized for your goals (8psi).

T3, my pick. RB25DET turbos if limited to less than 12psi are sweet. 3-4k rpm boost.

T28 is somewhere in between and a very, very good choice. T28 with A/r = 0.8 from Pulsar GTiR is almost the size of a T3. A/r = 0.63 (eg Nissan 200sx) a bit smaller. A/r = 0.48 at the small end of T28 turbos, comparable to a healthy T25.

There are some boost calculators on the web. Do some research into sizing turbos if you really want to get into it.

Important specs are compressor trim and turbine A/r. A book by Corky Bell is available as a download on the web and is good intro into turbos.

Don't forget that the cars you are quoting are 2.0l engines.
The D series does not have that kind of puff. Its only a baby 1.6 SOHC

a T25 should be ok, but a T28 will make abit more power.
Ask Ricer he had a GT28r on his Y8 motor.(and i'm still pissed you didn't let me drive it! I hope your enjoying those rims!)

The rocket kit retails around $3500, call them up as prices change often

my mate has it installed in his coupe in the USA, it's not half bad

for those of you playing at home.
just sent an inquiry through to AVO asking about cast manifold and dump pipe as limbo suggested to me..

cant say thankyou enough for the hlep

Edelbrock also do a full kit. Individual parts are available if you dig for part numbers.

Fullrace do ram manifolds.

There's a suprising number of turbo piece manufacturers for the D16.

Avoid the Ebay SSautochrome bits. Known to fail regularly.
