Wow. How is this insulting? "Why are you talking? Take your own dirt face talk somewhere else." That's just funny. If that was at all insulting it was lightheartedly at worst. You came in this thread with more of an attitude than anyone. Sbowers had it right. Imo, respect for Turbo D > you.

Come on quit flamin, your jacking the thread. In all reality the h will be more reliable (other than normal engine problems any car has) cause of course you'll probably be using a stock ecu which will do away with tuning problems and turbos don't last forever. With the autocross a t25 will spool fast and the extra weight of an h22 will have to be made up in suspension work.. The t25 civic it starts boosting at 2500. the problem with that is with freeway travel your about 2500 to 3000 rpms. I believe riceburner has a t3 turbo that spools at 3500. I'd ask him about his set up. You'll also have to consider when doing autocross is traction. Both set ups will have hella traction problems. My first gear is a waste cause I can't even get full boost (redline + spinning tires lol) Whatever you choose keep us posted.

come on you guys, t34 and Kedawei you guys are both vets, drop it and move on, i think this guys really lookin for answers and that ^ post is the only helpful on this page (other than Petes), and it was made by a 1st gear membe nonetheless

And IMO i can understand the reliability he was talking about, alot can go wrong with turboing an engine, just look at Remmy the other day blowing a coupler on his charge pipe, and tuning can go wrong as well, many things can go wrong and you really need to know what your doing, and even if you do know what youre doing its a risk, just look at Tony n Pete's turboed Ds

Ok guys, well I thank the dudes that gave me a hand here, its gunna help me make up my mind for sure. Im getting over $2,000 back from the tax man, and well $1,000 is going into the bank, the other 1k will go to the engine. Im sure I can pick up a Z6 for less then half that and the rest I can put into it. So I think thats where I will start. Im going to look into a t25 right away here. Thanks for all the info. Later.

What engine do you have now? I boosted my d15b7. Its my first turbo so i don't care if i blow the b7. I'm tryin to find either a jdm d15b or a z6 to build up then swap it in and give it a real tune (running greddy emanage) it works but i'd reccommend getting a fuel pressure guage cause i'm running rich but thats way better than lean.

T25 would be the way to go for your budget and goals imo. Try this for a manifold as well: http://homemadeturbo.com/tech_projects/HF_manifold/index.html

Wow, thanks for the link, good info. You'll need an adapter plate but you could probably find on tuner toys for cheap.

Aside from all this flaming and whatnot, I'll put it on the table IMO. I know your thinking mannnn Turbo so much work! Dropping the H would be easier! That may be true but think of all the things you will learn after you have completed your tubo set up. You will no more than you would if you just payed some shop to drop in a H. If you decided to go N/A i would go B series anyway. Good luck on your build and I hope everything works out.
