why not swap a b18 in there:thinking:...t3/t4 is extremely large for a 1.6 for most applications.

but to each his own

for those who wanted to know. I just spent an hour and have found that the rims on my car are actually civic stock rims available in silver and gold in 90-91. it is a 14 by 5 rims. 18 spoke dealer option. I do not know which models that were available. and from what I see in price the gold style was less produced cause to replace it costs a grip. that is what I found out. hope this helps.

hey t3/t4 on a 1.6.... im new to the boosting scene, but someone i know is going to drop a t3/t4 in his d16z6 simply because he doesnt like boosting around the neighboorhood at 20 or 30 MPH. on such a big turbo, it pobably wont spool until 35 - 45 rpms from a stand still.... so our guess is ifhe wants tpo hall his tail and race someone (likeusual) he'll prob have to rev up to 4 or 5 and take off ripping up his tires, that way the turbo spools before he takes off.... what do you all think on that subject?
