I'll buy the HKS GT ball bearing turbo from your friend if you don't use it.

i think its a small turbo because they try to match the best turbo possible to fit a b16 thats why i really dont know about that one i know the k26 is comparible to the t3 and the k27 is comparible to the t4 but i dont see anyone using them and the IHI i dont know nothing about all i know is the scooby people like them cause they spool fast i really dont know what to get i should have name the post KKK vs IHI vs GT turbos thanks for the reply anyways

Well even if it is the small GT turbo the HKS GT2510 then it has a 63T 0.64 for Trim A/R that is small for a 2.4L but it will spool quick. I will probably go with a bigger turbo anyways, a t3/t4 or a t3/t60-1. I don't know the Trim A/R for thoughs turbo's you said, but if you are getting them from civic's then I'm going to guess that you are going to want the biggest of all of them.

I'm also going to run a starion IC. Most of my other parts are not out of a junk yard. Anyways a Ball Bearing Turbo is a must if you want low lag. I dont know much about the other turbo's so hopefully someone else can answer your questions, good luck with your turbo project!
