First link isn't working for me. But if its a oem replacement for a sr20 then it will work just fine.
A nissan t25 or the t28 u listed will work great for your power goals and needs. The down side to using a t2 setup is there isn't many manifold for civics and t2 turbos. Your probably have to use an adapter plate. If u check my build u can see.

Y8 head will be great those y5 don't flow right because of the there vtec.
Also start looking into engine managment. Also do you have emission where you live?
For power leveles look up some y8 or z6 greddy/eldblock turbo dynos. There turbos are around the same size as what your wanting to get.

On the exhuast. Turbos lower the sound out of the muffler. So it won't be to loud.
But what your want to find is an exhuast catback in 2.25 or 2.5 then by a cat and it should all bolt up without problem.
The 2nd o2 senor wires might have to be extended. Other then that everything will be good.

Sorry if this is all ran together. I'm replying via cellphone.

 

do you think that 2.36 in is to small all the greddy exhausts have 60mm piping and a 102mm tip? should i buy the exhaust first? thats 700 dollars before i can start buying my turbo stuff?yes i have emmisions but i only have to pass it once and never smog again in my city because i live in the mountains. california is shitty but im just going to try to drive normal in the city and have fun on the freeways.i cant remember if i need a smog this year or next but it would be perfect if i have to smog this year because i wont have to worry about it unless i move from quincy ca. i was also wondering if i extend the wires and move the o2 to below the car would that throw a cel?

 

Just by extending the wires you wont get a cel.

2.36 is a good size exhuast. People have turbo there cars on stock exhuast. Which i believe is way smaller then that, and they still get good power. The thing with the exhuast is the bigger you go the sooner the turbo will spool. But since this turbo is small already it should have no problem spooling up by 3k.

Exhaust before turbo is your call. If you get the exhuast now then you will get a small bump in power for the time being. Also $700 seems high. I got custom 2.25 cat back from a muffler shop. I believe it was around $150, then a fireball muffler for $30 on ebay.

On emission tho since your in Cali the do an obd2 scan, overlook of the motor, and a sniffer.
So passing with the turbo might be had because a custom kit wont be carb legal and your fail. Then if you swap to obd1 for tuning, your fail the obd2 scan. So you might have to remove the turbo kit to get it to pass.

 

well like i said as long as i live in my area i will never have to smog again so the only thing i have to worry about is getting my hood popped and a ref ticket.ya but i think its well worth it i dont want anything close to a fart can really i would stay stock but i dont think i should with a turbo. i like the tone of my car with just my sri on it just needs a little deeper tone.

 

look into vibrant mufflers. good stealthy mufflers that have a great sound and a low price. get a muffler shop to make you a exhaust, get the cat replaced and your car fixed. get it smogged and then put on your turbo set up and be done with it.

 

good luck bud!

 

post whore much?????

 

I don't want a cheap made exhaust I will look into the vibrant but most likely will get the greddy.also thinking of buying a brand new Oem ex cat so I won't have to worry about buying another one for a long time. Anyone have a used ex cat for sale in good condition? I'm thinking I will get exhaust last because I don't have headers so it wouldn't fit with my exhaust now unless I bought a test pipe or headers and ex cat. Also should I use a t3 to f25 adapter plate from eBay?

 

piping is piping man. An exhuast shop can make the same thing your buying for way cheaper. The only thing they do is take yours off and make bends to match in a bigger size pipe. But to each his own. if you wanna order greddy then do so.

Now for the adapter plate. Yes you can get the ebay one. I got mines from godspeed i believe it was $32 shipped. Be sure to use studs on the manifold and turbo.

And since your waiting on the exhuast you can get your manifold, turbo, adapter plate, and downpipe.(depending on price of items but i got all that for well under $700)

 

Is there a certain size stud to use? Where do you get the hardware?where would be the best place to buy a manifold I'm looking at an eBay ramhorn right now

 

The thread size will depend on the manifold you use. I normally cant find studs at hardware stores. So what i do is get a bolt the thread i need and way longer then i need. Tighten it into the manifold all the way till it bottoms out.
Then cut the bolt down to size. Get a nut and put it on.
Ive been doing this for a while with all different things and never had a problem. Just get a clean cut or your have problems threading the nut on.

On the ramhorn idk i never really liked them so never looked. Just know if you get one on ebay it might be made of thin metal which will crack over time.

 

Ya I figured it would crack that's why I'm asking.ok so I bid on the t25 Oem replacement 240 turbo its got ten hours left and I bid on the adapter plate. Can't wait to get this shit started. Thanks for all the help man

 

Don't get the Ebay Ramhorn It will crack and you will be spending more money In the long run. Get an Ebay Cast mani.

 

Ok so I bought the turbo, adapter plate, and a go-autoworks ramhorn manifold. My friend brought up a good point to me that I shouldn't buy an ex cat because I'm going obd 1 and I should just get a test pipe what do you guys think

 

Be sure to test fit everything when u get it. That why u will know what ur working with and what needs modding.

On the cat. If emission isnt a problem then go with a hi flow. Most are just straight pipes tho, but its all good.

 

Now are there any injectors I can buy that will fit without modification and clip into the stock harness.how much bigger should I go for say 190hp?

 

I know its overkill but I don't want an eBay one that could crack and plus if I find this turbo to small I can upgrade to a t3/t4.I think I have an ex tranny because I read that the hx should be at 2500 at 65 but I'm at 3 at 65mph in 5th

Rc injectors are plug an play. i believe they come in 440cc or 450cc. Will run you about $300 new.
For you power goals i wouldnt go lower then 410cc. If you go higher then that you will have run to grow. The max size you should go would be 520cc (which is way over what your wanting.)

ON the transmission its a hard call, because i hear the ex and hx have the same code but different gears. Code S40 | B000. So for the time being you will be ok on the transmission. I would only change it if you boost and dont like the gearing.

Also you might have spent to much on the manifold. You could of gotten a castiron manfiold on ebay. But its still cool in the end you help out the site by buying from go-autoworks.

 

First of the go autoworks ramhorn is overkill for your power goal, eventhough its a good choice for 400plus hp.

Why don't you look into greddy 15g kit, some guy here in dso is selling one for 600 buck with IC piping in all.


And for your info the y5 head is capable of making power of your expectation. The greedy 15g I had would boost at 1800rpm at the earliest. This I see all the time during datalogging. Combined this with vtec E at 2800 rpm you'll be set.

What I would recommend though is replace your tranny to a y8 or z6.

 

I know its overkill but I don't want an eBay one that could crack and plus if I find this turbo to small I can upgrade to a t3/t4.I think I have an ex tranny because I read that the hx should be at 2500 at 65 but I'm at 3 at 65mph in 5th

 

I havent seen any cast manifold with low boost crack........................

But your a big boy and big baller. It's your money and your car.

 

No point in trying to change his mind if the money is already spent.

 

Is there any specific ecu I should buy I have seen p06 and p28 on ebay. Is it worth it to buy a chipped one or should I put a socket on myself? I can solder but never tried on something like this I have to led stuff in xboxes

 

Thats a hard call. If u got the skill I would get a cheap p06 and convert it to vtec and socket it.
If ur skills r lacking the get a p28 and chip it.
Now if u have no skills and money to burn then order a chipped ecu with a base map from one of are sponsrs.

Xbox and leds r a little different then the ecu. U have to desolder some stuff.

 

Ya I have never desoldered anything but I'm sure I could do it just don't know if I trust myself plus I don't have a good iron.ok who would I look for to order one chipped from here. Parts should start arriving all this week can't wait

Check there site for chip kits and other turbo items.

 

Ok I'm having troubles figuring out what I need for my oil and water lines for my turbo there's one on go go autoworks but its for a gt bb turbo and its 260$ where exactly should I buy it from and are the oil and waterlines the same?

 

If u got the oem replacement nissan t25 then check first page of my build.
But from what I remeber the feed is a 11m 1. Something. Drain is 44mm bolt spacing. Coolant lines are 14x1.5mm I believe.
But im on my cell so check my build n when I get home ill get u all the sizes.

Fyi I paid around $15-$20 for each item mins lines/hoses

Correct sizes below

 

please post where you got them i'm having the same issue with finding stuff for my t28

 

yeah don't try to chip it yourself its harder than it seems i've done xbox stuff and tons of wiring without proper tools its pretty hard, the chipped ones from that place are real good i have a p06 from there

 

Ok im home now and i check my list

For my oem sr20 t25 turbo these are the sizes:

oil feed M12x1.24 4an 1.5mm restrictor I got a banjo bolt
Oil Drain flange 44mm bolt spacing 8an
Coolant thread size M14x1.5

I order them from ebay Authentic-Boost

prices are fair and shipping is ok. He might not tell you that your order has been shipped but within a from order date your have it.

I have a tap n die kit so i used that to find out the sizes of the threads before i ordered.


On the ecu its not to hard but then again i solder to ic chip legs that are as thick as a hair.

This was for a digital keypad lock

but i have soldered to things smaller. wii ic chips, ps2 traces etc..

 

Thanks everyone's has been a lot of help I will look on eBay again here in a little. I should get my ramhorn and fmic today so I will have pictures tomorrow probably
