I am curenlty getting peices for a turbo on my 2.2L VTEC accord. Would this be a good thing to purchasehttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1876050983

 

You're pushing 2.2L, so you might want to go with something a little bigger than a straight T3. You could easily run at least a T3/T04E, and you shouldn't have any problems with a T3/60-1 either.

 

i dont have much money so I wasnt looking for something real big right now cause bigger means more money so would this do the trick

 

You could run low boost with that turbo and have it run pretty well. You would need an adapter flange for that inlet though, since it uses a 3-bolt flange. He's giving you the downpipe elbow, so it should be pretty easy to fab up a dp. It looks like a standard T3 flange, so you could run any T3 flanged manifold, and then swap in a larger T3 flanged turbo later on if you want.

 

what are some other things that I would need to complete my turbo setup since I am really new at this. It is my first time thats why I decided to start off small to see how I do. Now since I will be runnin glow bost I wont have to upgrade any of my internal engine comp's right, or do I. I dont know what I would need next if I got this T3 turbo and when you say bost how low of a bost will I get will I even see a diff. thanks for the help

 

The basic parts you'll need to complete a kit with this turbo are an intercooler, blowoff valve, charge pipes and the rest of a downpipe.

However I've done some calculations, and a relatively conservative estimate already puts that particular turbo out of its efficiency range at only 8 psi. That means it won't flow enough air and will get really hot which puts more stress on your intercooler and decrease your power.

The only purely T3 turbo which will give you a decent amount of efficiency is a T3 Super 60. For your motor a T3/TO4E 50 will be the closest to ideal.

 

yeah, but does a T3/T04E 50 go for $30?

 

That's not something that you'd want to say when you are jumping into a turbo project.

What are your HP goals (or 1/4 mile goals) and budget for this project? if you tell us that we might be able to give you better advice on how to go about with your project.
