Ok so this is my list of the near future.

1. replace motor (either d16z6 again, or jdm d15b, stock internals)
2. manual conversion
3. cage (you'd do it too if it only cost you materials, dont ask)
4. turbo kit, probably pieced together. probably be doing the afc hack, dsm injectors, etc...
also I will hold out for the intercooler, or just stay at 5psi until i get one.

The question is, if I never plan to pass 8psi on this motor, what turbo should I use? Should I stick with just a t25, or go to a t3. I have heard that for that low of a boost a t3 is overkill. Also if it isn't overkill, what trim on a t3 should i go with?

oh crap i just checked my bank account...and I GOT MY TAXES BACK, whoo this is better than christmas.

 

t25 is small, so if you are not going to build the engine, that should be fine
