Turbo Choice for D16Y8 build.....

[lsdb1]

Ok, I'm in the process of building a street/strip Y8. Now my goals are to have a car capable of 400+whp and the torque not too far behind. I'm thinking somewhere in the area of 380ish whp 400 or so and at least 300ft lbs of tq. Now the thing is I want something that will spool as earlier possible while still providing me with the top end I'm looking for without running out of breathing room. I have all of the supporting components including Comp stage 2 turbo cam,, Skunk 2 valve springs, Crower Titanium retainers, Unorthadox cam gear, 750cc injectors, and so and and so forfth. It all will be on stock sleeves. Please help me out CtV

stay in the dsm turbo area. i have built a few (alot) of D series motors had great luck with the evo3 ,FPgreen, 20g and what not great spool time good for up there HP also have run the ebay .57 trim not a good of a spool time but very good power.

Yeah I was thinking about it. Im not really anal about the torque and would sacrafice just a little for some top end breathing room but a 57 trim would probably be the limit for me

i have run that and they are nice for daily driveing you can drive around out of boost easy but dont really have to waite for the boost when you want it. the dsm turbos are kinda peekin in to boost normal driveing. i am puttin a evo3 on my stock (kinda stock) sohc and a .57 trim on my built D in my crx. and the other D i am building is going in to a integra with a .57trim also.

Nice, I was looking for some graphs of some D's with the 57 trims on them but I had no luck. I don't want to drive around in boost all day because it will be the daily and don't want the shit guzzling gas like water lol but do want it to be pretty responsive so that sounds like a great option

if anything, it'll help spool it better. you'd be able to make over 400hp on it and still have a streetable turbo that'll spool quickly.

the small a/r would help spool time, along with it being a ball bearing turbo. pricey, but very worthwhile.
