Turbo KA...need to know?

[Level2]

Listen, I going to run a T28 turbo on the stock internals, what I need to know is will the T28 be to much for the stock motor on 6psi of boost,at least until the upgrade? Maybe, running a T25 maybe better? As well as,will the ecu need to be reprogrammed. If so what will be te best piggy back to go with? Unless I can get Jim wolf tec. to do it. :thinker

You should search about all the other threads where just about everyone states that the T25 series are much too small for a 2.4 liter engine like the KA.

I know a t28 is not too big...we have it in a sohc civic running 9lbs, so you should be fine, but i would suggest getting a bigger turbo...really just call up turbonetics or someplace of that nature..tell them what you have and what you whant it to do for you and they can tell you what you need...later.....Z

A t28 is 2 small, a civic it might be good on, what a 1.8L? He has a 2.4l, which would cause the turbo to produce more heat then good, ya it will spool up fast, but the object is power. Goto a local junkyard and rip a t3 off a z31 turbo Z, thats big enough, or go with the t3/t4 or a T04E <--both of which you have to buy from a company, unless you can get used.

You can get a t3/4 off a buick grand national. You DONT have to buy it from a company.-Jeff
