Hello guys,



got a loverly big turbo , brand spanking new, exhaust is 1.30 and compressor is 0.70



question is... is this too big for using on a 13B ?



I've just pulled the enigne ready to fit a nice new one i had in storage, so once thats been

run in for a while and i've picked up the few parts im missing im thinking about fitting this

turbo.



i would guess that it would come in very late in the rev range but what do you guys reckon ??



maybe it would suit somone more into dragstrips.



Cheers

1.30 will be a slug on the street. I would sell it and get something with a much smaller hotside. You want smaller than 1.00 a/r. for a nice usable power band on the street.

I would sell it. You can get a nice turbo for around $1000 from just about anywhere.
