What's a good stock turbo for mild boost 5 psi?

Postby Takumi-Fujiwara » Fri Jul 19, 2013 11:30 am

What's a good stock turbo for mild boost. Let's say 5 psi?

I'm looking to do a mild boost setup for my stock 16v bluetop 4age engine with some kind of small turbo I can get off any stock car at the junkyard to save money. Any suggestions?

Would a Toyota CT26 turbocharger be a good place to start?

Towards the end we discuss turbo choices a little bit including the pros and cons of the CT26.

ford 2.3 sohc T3, mitsubishi eclipse 14b(5 spd) or sr20 T25 would be your most popular platforms.
CA18 even better with its 0.48 rear housing (=quicker spool)
Forums may b best bet.
Some even happy with their cheap chinese turbos
Tones of ideas on miata forums, since they've been turboing their similar stock 1.6s for years
You'll get all your answers there

Add $100 subie td04 to the mix, as a 1.6 favourite
unmatched amount of info/detail on turbo (or superdharged) miata forums.
I guess we should hide the ectremely valuable info then
