    pppsssshhhhhtttttt!!!!!!!

    i grabed this t25 off ebay. its from a 2g eclipse. its for a small a20 turbo build. i really know nothinng about turbos so i dont mind my first one being small. dont plan on going over 12 psi or reving past 6k so this one will do. i am gonna build my own manifold. if anyone comes accross a 1g dsm bov or like some 330 injectors (or what even numbewr is close) let me know, they must be cheep

    Re: pppsssshhhhhtttttt!!!!!!!

    i am going with a small fmic, i seen them new for about $110-120

    i am not really building this motor, just slaping on the turbo and having fun. if i run into more money ill build the a20 i have in my basement.

    i am building (still gathering parts) a b20b for my hatch, i have a b18a that is going in the hatch before the b20 to get everything ready while i am building up. '

    for future projects i have a d16z6, d16y5, and a d15b in my basement. ill prob take the 3 and make a nice oem mini me

    Re: pppsssshhhhhtttttt!!!!!!!

    thats about the size i was looking for when i wanted a fmic but i think it would be even better for people not see the intercooler and have a stock dsm bov and it would be less piping and cutting and just seems easier....

    I heard it's really difficult to turbo a carb. The question I have is it easier with the t25 or should I give up on the prospect?

    There are two ways to turbo a carb... they are not as easy as efi.
    If you blow thru you have to pressurize the fuel and carb properly.

    If you draw thru you have to make sure you have the correct turbo with the carbon seal? to keep from sucking up oil out the turbo when the throttle of the carb closes.

    Draw thru can cause carb icing, which will cause the throttle to stick open.
    Draw thru does not offer the use of an intercooler.
