T-25 Turbo For $200 Good Deal?

[lilthom]

I dont know much about turbos but i didnt know if this would be a good start for me or not. I was planing on putting it on a d15 for fun.

From what I understand a T25 is a fast spooling, small turbo. Good for a little boost, but not much. Meshed with a D15 I think the spool up time would be short. The real questions are 1) what's it's condition? 2) are you going to be happy only doing a small boost setup on a crappy motor (no offense intended)

None takin...no i just have a d15 layin around do you think it would be a better setup on my b16 in my rex?

 

[posol]

boosted d15 or b16?? this shouldn't even be a question. do the b16

 

[lilthom]

I wasnt sure how good of a turbo the t-25 is.

You can pick up t-25's off eBay in excellent shape for $100 all day long. My friend here just sold a pair in good condition for $100.

I'd look for the older generation DSM's 14b turbo. It's a good bit bigger, or possibly a nice T-3 off a Thunderbird Turbo Coupe or Mustang SVO.

Those turbo's would be much more fun at 5-7 psi on a d15.

T-25's are good for about 13-15lbs of boost if im not mistaken. good for smaller motors cause the lag isnt too bad on them.

 

[Slo86GT]

Well, that really depends... it's good for alot more boost than that on a much smaller engine...

Say a geo metro engine, it'd be good for 20+ because the intake restrictions are so much larger.

If you put a t-25 on say, a c5 corvette, it probably wouldn't make a single pound of boost because the LT-1 can injest so much air!

See what I'm saying, here? Just because it'll make 13-15 pounds without a problem on the engine it comes off of, doesn't mean it'll make that much boost on all other engines. It has to do with AIRFLOW, not boost levels.
