Too be honest you would find more help on Honda-Tech.
Be prepared to spend alot of money on a good kit. You'll have too if you want it to be reliable. If you don't wanna spend don't expect high quality parts/long life out of your setup. And remember, with boost, TUNING is key. Be prepared to spend a few hundreds on the dyno time. You'll want to anyways so you can show your graph to us
. I can help you as much as I can I've helped on a few turbo setups including some that reached 700whp.

Nice setup...First that D now the B..... :lol:
Couple of questions, how well did the internal wastegate of the GT25 work? Ive heard you an get better reults from an external wastegate at low boost levels like 6-9psi...
And if you had a choice, GT25 or GT28
And, at what rpm did the turbo start to spool.
I want to turbo a y8/a6 mini me, and cant decide between the gt25 or gt28.

Internal wastegate worked fine. external is always better, but i had no issues.
my turbo IS a GT28.....its kinda complicated GT28R = GT2560R. If I had to get a turbo now Id geta GT28RS ot a GT3071.
I hit full boost (15psi) at high 3k rpm.
which exact turbos are you looking at?

sadly enough i dont have any pictures of my setup
it was a stock z6 with hf manifold, tdo4 mitsu turbo welded together. stock internal wastegate. which i had some problems with.
i tuned it myself with turbo edit.
dyno showed [email protected]
i picked up a b16 motor and trans, quaife and a turbo set up for a b so im switching everything over this spring and going obd1 and tuning with either crome or neptune.
azulito has abuilt zc turbo
im pretty sure ollie has a d turbo also

Well, Ive lost the link for the garret turbos for $775 on the honda-tech marketplace.....Damn. The turbo I was looking at was the GT28RS and another GT28xxx Im not sure which one it was as I was going by the list on honda-tech and hadnt looked at the specs for them yet... But if you were hitting boost in upper 3k then I guess a GT28RS isnt to big.....Only running 6-9psi anyway shouldnt be bad, IM just worried about boost creep on that size turbo with an internal wastegate. (still have LOTS of research to do) Just looking for a good turbo that will work good with in low boost, but still be good for higher boost levels...mattminerDOTcom said:
:edit: Im an idiot... its a GT2871R
After seeing this here, (where I also found you lol) I would say this is the one Im going with...
http://turbod16.com/viewtopic.php?t=33253
You can check out www.turbod16.com for nothing but turbo d-series and lots of info.
Thanks anyway ludesrv, I know what Im doin, just wanted to see what others here have done to there cars with turbo kits.
Im going to install a rear mount setup from STS, stealthmode baby.
And Im sticking with no vtec, less to fuss with when it gets tuned.

There shouldnt be. I was running 10:1 compression on my setup with no issues (well, no issues that are detonation related haha).
I like your setup ollie, its nice and clean.

Its 10:33 with a y8 headgasket. 10:64 with 2 layer y8 headgasket.... :shock: ,according to www.zealautowerks.com
I would like a nice 8psi....

I would shoot for 10:1 max for a nice low boost setup on a D. look into getting a nice cometic turbo head gasket, slighlty thicker to bring you back to around 10 if you want.
