cant decide
ready to buy the turbo, but i cant decide on the trim and the a/r!
im definately going with the garrett t3/t40e ballbearing turbo... for SURE.
but im trying to decide on the specs of it...
i cant decide on going with 57 trim and .63 a/r or 57 trim and .48 a/r.. i read up on the ball bearing turbo, they spool way faster than a normal turbo, they last longer, and there more reliable.
im assuming if i went with.63 a/r i would still get my boost at a lower rpm because it spools so much faster, and i also want the top end power that a .63 a/r turbo will provide. but i dont want to wait for the boost all day!
and if i went with the .48 a/r i will get my boost a lot quicker, i know this, but when im on the freeway (which i do most of my driving to work) i want to be able to pull up next to that stang or Z and walk on them from 70-100 and i think that it may lose a lot of power running at that high of speeds.
i will be recreationally running this car at the 1/4 mile next summer for some fun, but im keeping it with stock internals and7.25 psi boost for at least a year or maybe longer.
which specs do you think would be better for my dd habits? if the .63 starts boosting around 3-3 1/2grand with the ball bearing turbo i will go with that, but if it dont im gonna have a whole lotta fun stop light racing with the .48 a/r..
or am i just still a total noob and it would only make a mild difference between the two? still learning here and thats why im asking the question
does anybody actually know what rpms my stock d16y8 will be peak boosted with these 2 different specs. if anyone knows i would love to hear.
thx for the input in advance

RE: cant decide
.63 a/r if you want your turbo to hold a lot of boost. the .48 will max out quickly if you want to go over say 250 whp.

RE: cant decide
.48 IMO doesn't belong on a Honda period, especially with that size compressor wheel.
What goes in, must come out. The exhaust side needs to meet the demands of the intake.
