Default Garrett T3/T4 57 trim turbo too big for a civic?

i can get a Brand New Garrett T3/T4 57 trim turbo off of Garrett Distributor (Supports 450 hp)= $520 but i think its set up for full boost at 2500 rpm which i prefer 3000 rpm full boost. but is this turbo too big for our car?

lol... you will not get full boost out of that motor at that RPM's;. I don't think I even make full boost on that turbo at 3k. You have bad info.

you need a little more research....
with my sc50 .63 a/r im reaching boost like after 4500 rpm

you can get full boost faster with a smaller turbo.. that is quite big for a d16

reaching full boost is totally dependant on everything BUT the turbo...
a 5.7 liter motor with spool that turbo much faster than a 1.6 liter

the turbo was for mustang v-6 to spool full boost at 2500 rpm but was trying to coompare this turbo in a civic. would a tdo4hl turbo work well on a civic?

Your prolly gonna have to get a smaller turbo for a "d" series. That is just too big.

im running a big ass turbo, but then again my setup isn't stock...
check out a t25 or maybe even a t3 .48 for something to spool quick

That doesn't say much... what compression?

There are a lot of factors that contribute to how you spool the turbo. Seriously... research.

since ur so educated then give me the scoop to save me time. so if i want only like 50 hp increase due to stock engine and like full boost by 4k rpm then go with a t25 with .48?
