Turbocharging a B3

[1993 festiva]

my t25 turbo is so small i see it like 10psi of boost with my walbro 255lph fuel pump fuel pressure regulator, and 12:1 fmu the car will be running like nothing. only thing i am looking for right now is which intercooler i should put
? and also looking for some bigger rims =/ around 14s

Probe intercoolers are decent and easy to fit. Capri intercoolers are even easier to fit and should be enough for a B3.

youshould get an intercooler from a peterbilt 1993 festiva,

MSD boost timing master (BTM) its a boost activated retard VVVVV

You used the wrong smiley. Shoulda used this one: :tard:

Not that we need any boost-activated retards tho.

Edit: I apologize in advance. I just couldn't help myself. Feel free to ban me.

Starting off a sentence like this is a good to get your Man Card yanked. lol

Running a plain t25 (non-ballbearing) @ 9 pounds on a 16 valve 2.0 liter Nissan will get you 225 hp...that's what a "small" properly matched turbo will do.
Running too big of a turbo on too small of an engine is amature-ish.

Agreed. That's why im gonna be running a .42/.48 T3 on my BP instead of the .60/.63 T3/T4 I have laying around...

Are you making the turbo manifold for that?

I have a gtr manifold reflanged for a t3.

im thinking a peterbilt turbo + intercooler setup is the best choice for a b3, you can never run to big of a turbo ..... right?

You guys are over complicating things. Just bolt the damn thing on the engine and have at it.

Thanks, Yeah that was all hand made. Here's what I'm working on now for the b6. A little something to replace the first one.
This is "schedule 10" 304 stainless pipe, it's 3mm thick going onto a 3/8" thick flange plate. Again, for a KKK KO3 turbo.




That, and I'm going to turbo my Nissan SE-R this summer!

^ myfriend has a boosted se-r. i know its pushing 300+ matt (resuwrecked) tooka ride in it. its kinda scary fast especially with a good suspension set up and good tires it takes corners way too fast for my taste but you doing ice racing you wont mind at all youll probibly enjoy it too much
