well i have complete stock internals.
and i want to boost so bad so ill run like 7-8 lbs on stock.
then when i get the kit installed ill start buying parts to build the engine. then when thats all done ill crank up the boost.
so for now around 250 hp.
make it a lil quicker ya know.
real power is coming soon after
a T3/T4 turbo should serve you well. thats about the extent of my knowledge, lol-so you'll have to wait for some other people to chime in. they mighttttt tell you to search though, lol.
so could you tell me what the "trim" is?

uh oh shase is gonna do boost id like to see that im thinkin of either ls boost or ls/vtec in my car
T3 super 60 would serve you well for now and spool quick, a t3/t4 is way to big for your power goal and set up...
Im just gonna use a t25 mitsu eclipse turbo(cheap) run like 8 psi it should put me at like 220whp w/ my stock b16. It will spool quick but run out of breath at probably 6500rpms but it will be a fun dd, i never rev it that high anyway. Later on when i build my Ls block i'll get a garrett t3/to4e 50 trim.
Mainstream Performance can build you a turbo manifold.
I suggest the garrett t3/to4e 50 trim .48 a/r
Boost under slow construction...
so incase you nubs, dont realize (punkr6) t3/t4 is noting but a flange. to answer your question you should be with a t3/t4 50trim on 10psi. "trim" is the actual size of the turbo meaning 50mm, 60mm, 71mm, etc... just some hardcore research, boost and enjoy!
this should help clear things up a bit

i never said your choice was a poor one, just stating that you didnt know what t3/t4 truly meant. and i also recommended the .50 trim which is .48a/r, that would be ideal for his goals now, and future.
What happened to selling it?
Buy an ebay kit. Seriously, best bang for your buck. It'll give you a nice starter kit and you can upgrade pieces down the road (manifold, turbo, wastegate) Stay under 7psi.

i agree.
ebay kit with a mild tune, and you should be fine.
X3
Got a MINI?Don't talk to me.
FUCK your FADS
hmmm.....
well i guess i can do that.
just upgrade as i go
remember, once you install that kit, the price of your car will drop drastically. You have a Si, don't do it. Don't ruin that car.

I had a b16 on a t3/t4 .50 trim...that shit moved
if he keeps the car and just upgrades things as time progresses, then that will change.
An unmolested Si typically will stay at 9k-10k Once you boost it, no matter how much money you spend, it'll only be worth 7-8k.

if he just bolts the kit on, and gets a mild tune. it could easily be reverted back to stock, as long as he keeps the stock parts. but it seems like he might not be getting rid of the car anytime soon.
plan on keeping for a while
