how much was the total cost?

That T25 will blowtorch your motor sooner or later... I've said this a few times, but I'm going to say it every time I see mention of it. It's a very cheap turbo, and anyone with the ability to search should know the risks involved. Yes, it'll work. Yes, the response is damn near instant... because it's a TINY turbo... but tiny turbos make heat. Heat makes dead engines.


Otherwise, congrats on completing the setup. So few people start and actually finish it!

about 350 dollars. that was a rebuild kit,the whole turbo, the piping,the welding wire,needle valve fittings,jdm front mount intercooler.etc. its a lot of power-more then i expected. i used to own a dsm talon and it was never as fast as my accord is now and it isn't even tuned.and as long as you have a big enough intercooler you wont overheat the motor like everyone says.

dude i promise you that the size intercooler i have had to replace the entire front grill,hood latch,center brace, and front bumper modification.it basically looks like a giant grill.lol looks good though.the intercooler is 3inches thick,36 inches long and 20 inches tall. its a custom made jdm intercooler from japan my buddy got sent over with his jdm civic.

Hopefully that'll be enough. You're going to be forcing air through there pretty quick... It's only going to cool it off so much.

I would strongly recommend getting an EGT sensor hooked up.

90-98 any of those years of DSM would work Talon/Eclipse same setup just different makers thats all the 90-93 (1G) 93-98 (2G) if iam right the 1G comes with the 14B turbo and and the 2G comes with the t25 same turbos basicly but the t25 are just garett internals spoons faster but the heat build up is way higher than the 14b that y people chooses 14b over t25

[deevergote]

The 14b is slightly larger than the t25. Neither is a wise choice. I would get one of those on just to get it running, and get the experience of boosting... then look to upgrade to something larger ASAP. The "big" 16G from the Evo 3 is a much better choice, and it bolts right up to the DSM manifold.

dont think i'll find an Evo 3 in the JY, any other cars carrying the 16g??

[drummersteve7]

no 16g

but def tons of 14b's

Find an Evo3 in the junkyard, and yes. It'll be sitting right next to the Skyline GT-R and Mitsubishi FTO.

That was my point. Honestly, you MIGHT find one in Canada. In the US... never.

hmmm
i'll look into this
