rb26 444cc injectorsrb nismo fprwalbro 255 pumpz32 mafsprecision fmic (thats holds up to like 400hp)ka dohc tbintake mani butterflies removed3in dpgutted catapexi n1 catbackcenterforce dual friction clutch12' electric fan (no clutch fan)hks ssqvold school safci also plan to rom tune it with live editwideband o2 sensor

so the thing missing, turbo

im thinking of just running a gt28r mainly due to the price i can get a new one for ($735)

but kinda lookin for suggestions on any other turbos

what kinda power do you think i could put down with this setup?

im going to comp check it before do these mods (may replace the headgasket and get studs)

but if i could do like 250whp id be moer than happy

444cc injectors are good for about 280whp max so the GT28R would match well with them. If you had cams, I would suggest bumping up to 550cc's to get the most out of the turbo.

thanks for the info on the injectors, but considering i got them for free it would be no big deal to buy new ones later on, im kinda considering getting one of the diy log mani's on ebay for our motors and just going with a t3/t4, thoughts on that?

[c-rad]

T3/T4 would give you a much broader choice of turbo's, but will also substantially increase your cost of the setup due to purchasing an external wastegate and the custom fabrication that needs to be done to connect the turbo to the downpipe. I have no idea what your expenses are like, so that may not even matter, but it's the most flexible way to go.

[originalsin]

well like i said, i would be running a log style manifold but i could actually get a 35mm tial wastegate off my friend for like $100. so like $100 for that, plus $150 for the manifold kit and like wat $500 for the turbo, thats like e750 there. plus the extra piping/flanges for the downpipe and wastegate dump $100, so like $850 that seem about right?

ever consdier the gt2871. I know its exspensive, and you would prolly still be better off with a top mount, but its just a suggestion. I think Its the way i want to go...

If you need an extra hand workin on it Ill be more than happy to help!

[originalsin]

that turbo is the **** but just not in my budget, its another 300 over wat i can get the gt28r for which is alot for an 18yr old in college :/

but your from syracuse right?? you should check out nyspeed.com another local forum. but yea well def have to meet up over the summer, when is ur car coming back up here??

2871 is a bit too laggy without cams and tune. But that is a pretty serious street setup you have there. You could consider a HKS2510. Not laggy and still enough headroom to support 300-325whp. Need those bigger injectors tho. If final goal is over that, go with Chris's suggestion: T3/T4.

rly consider it a serious street setup? lol even with 300hp i feel like the underdog around here. some of my friends are running over 500whp in civics, street driven.

originalsin: I am currently in Syracuse. If all goes well ill be moving to Fairport by the end of feb, and once i get a place with a garage my car will be brought up here even if i have to rent a uhal and tow it up... Ill sign up for nyspeed too.
