T25....yay or nay.

[cadieux_j]

Looking for a turbo, I found a T25 turbo, .48 int. .49 ext. I know it's a small turbo, but what do you think?? WAY too small?? I'm looking for 200 whp, with minimal lag.

then a t25 should be fine.

then a t25 should be fine.

if your running a stock motor then a t25 is a excellent choice.....t25 maxes at around 225whp....

my lil t25 on my gsr engine is currently doing 260.2 whp at 9psi on 92oct. then it made 277whp at 15psi.
ported/polished head with stock valvetrain and stock cams. 9:1 and 81.5mm, 440cc, hondata s300, royal purple, etc...

it's a good starting turbo and no lag for sure, plenty of fun! if not, then go gt28 series...my next plan fairly soon.

wow 275whp....nice

i bet its because you have a GSR motor though....1.8L compared to 1.5L or 1.6L....GSR has bigger pistons....and the head has a lot more flow so it can make more power comparded to a sohc....

 

[chaw wee]

yup perfect turbo for what your are wanting.

 

[Tek-C]

If you want room to upgrade HP later in the future, you should get a T3/To4...

hey what do you know? I got one for sale... *hint hint. Trying to get rid of it.

 

[TiiM iiS l3eAsT]

ya if you plan to upgrade the internals on the motor then ya go with a bigger turbo....

i went with a T3 42/48 cause i had a stock motor....but now that i built it, i wish i went with a bigger turbo

wow man those are really nice numbers for that turbo. hows the power band up top though?

thats what im wondering....probably not very good lol....probably loses power at around 7k...

 

[spoon egg]

i agree, t25 is great for stock motor, i just wasnt too fond of being in boost while cruising on the highway. that's why i upgraded to a garret t3/t4.
from this

to this

my 260whp at 9psi dyno graph from last year is on my 1st page of my build...

ya...you can see the turbo stops making power at around 6,700 rpms....

 

[SlowTEC]

It will get you the power you're looking for and will be very streetable with minimal/no lag.

You can always upgrade the turbo later once you grow used to it.

Think of it like buying a motorcycle. Most guys don't go out and get the 1300cc 'Busa if they've never ridden. They'll start out on a 600 or 750 first and work their way up. Either way, good luck with the build.

someday i too will boost both of my cars
