Well I just scored a T25 and a set of 450cc injectors from my boy at school in exchange for me to rebuild his Eclipse transaxle.

Here are a few pictures of it. I will be replacing the oil lines and what not along with the bearing and seal.

Otherwise it appears to be in pretty good condition for being used and sitting in my boys basement for a little while.

BTW what is the stock boost that the Eclipse ran? Just curious, Im also looking for a external wastegate for a good price, if I can find one.

Resized allpics to 640 parameters to make them small monitor/low res friendly.

 

just use a leafblower........

 

Safely you could run about 15-16 psi on the street BUT that is on a motor that is built for the turbo. From the factory with the shitty plastic bov and all the boost creeping off it ran 11-12psi. A honda with stock internals you may want to introduce it at about 5psi and gradually go up.

I have heard the t25 is not a great turbo for the hondas anyways. Hondas lack the power in the high rpm's, the t25 will give you more power in the low rpm's.

 

It pulls boost too low in the RPMs...

 

Wtf, he pulls zero boost as is in the low rpms, any boost is better than no boost. I wouldnt bother rebuilding the turbo, it is just a huge waste at that point. If he kept boost low, to something say 5-7psi, that turbo should provide him with plenty of power over his NA form. I would say around 8-10psi for the factory wastegate.

 

Yes, any boost is better then no boost but from everyone that I have spoken with to use this turbo on a honda then it is more trouble than it's worth. Most hondas have plenty of low end power(esp. the b18) where they lack is in the upper range.

This is why the t3/t4 works out so well with the hondas. It gives them the power within the mid-high rpm range.

 

I remember seeing a h22 coupe in Staunton, running 7 lbs. I think, on a T25and he made 205 whp... He pulled full boost at like 2400 RPM's and by the upper end it didn't have anything left... H22's make like 175 with bolt-ons. So he made 30 whp extra. And that was supposedly tuned too.

 

haha uhh...?

 

^^^^^I caught that too, I have never ridden in a Honda with low-end before...

 

Have you ever driven a honda? You need to take it to 10k for a reason.
