t28 and t3 spool can be the same of different. Would need more information on the turbo size. wheel size AR etc....
A t28 would use a smaller manifold then a t3.
Either one will get you to your power goal and a small size t3 will spool around 4k and run to redline which is pretty good for street. A mid size t28 would spool around 3k and may drop off right t redline. Again depends on the true size and no just trim.

100% upgraded injectors. 410cc and bigger. Tons of injector choices and some are plug in play, some need resistor box, some need injector harnesses.

If you choice the t28 route then you will need to weld a flange to the downpipe to connect it to the cat. And run water lines to the turbo. very easy to do.

With the t3 route you will need an external wastegate.
 
With those eBay turbos they are all abut the same size. Just label different.

If your looking for sme simple to install injectors then get some RC440cc obd2 style they will be plug and play. Get the honda kind.

Also Mitsubishi turbos will be a dsm t25 turbo.
I think the fords and Volvo are the t3 turbos.

Also ask your self if you are Abe to install the kit yourself.
Injectors are dirt easy to install so if your having trouble with those that's not a good sign.

And be sure you set aside money for tuning and ecu chipping.
 
I don't think they will hard for me, I just want simple.
I think I"ll stick to 180whp and below, and stick with my stock fuel injectors, watching videos of stock d16's with 200whp seems really fast, and 80whp over stock seems like quite the improvement, WAY more than I could get from I/H/E/Cam upgrade.
Stock injectors won't cut it. Trust me upgrade your injectors or end up with a blown motor.
 
I swear I read where you can go 160-180whp on 80% duty cycle on stock 240cc injectors.. I know you got a ebay setup and had fuel problems, were your injectors 180cc? I think the EX is the only one that has 240cc..

I'm not doubting you, just curious. Was thinking of having them pulled out and flowed/tested. But for the price I just might upgrade.
Check a Crome map for a stock civic and at recline they are at around 78%
 
@ dj_justice

That's how most of these kits are. Plus they say that there normally for ek and eg but they are different body types so it couldn't fit for both.
And dumping on the ic piping I believe most kits do that. Why idk just easy I guess.

And which kit did you get? The cast iron normal or the v2 like the goautoworks v2 ( wg in middle)
 
I bought the go-autoworks starter kit GO-AUTOWORKS Turbo starter kit. I figured that way I would get a quality turbo, manifold, wastegate, and downpipe. I used the cx racing intercooler kit to save a couple hundred bucks. It works but was kind of a hassle to install.
That's cool.
I made my own Ic pipes and welded it up out of steel. Fix like a glove and cost a lot less then a kit. Also been running my $20 intercooler lol.

But Im building another setup and will be piercing together a kit similar to the qoautowork strett kit.
Just making all the pipes myself. Got the manifold already.
 
The hot side will fit. The cool side intercooler pipes will ned to be modded.
There is no way it will just bolt on if it say it can fit 88-00. That's about 3 different model of cars.

But if you want to get it and mod it some then go ahead.

Other then that get a edelbrock kit or goautoworks and bolt it on.

Or pierce together one and do all the fab work.
