So this thing is definitely bigger than the sr20 t25 from an s13 that I have? Sounds like its closer to the 2560 or the s14/s15 turbos.

it's a 50 trim 60mm compressor wheel

Here's the difference between the two:



so yeah, it's bigger.

the 2560 is a 60 trim 60mm wheel, same turbine, and BB.

I ran an SR20 T25 on my 1.6 for a year and a half and it was a riot. Never quite had the top end punch but it was a really meaty power band.

These ISIS turbos seem to get the job done, for a street car it'll probably be fine. For track abuse who knows?

If you can make 250whp with this thing, it will be perfect for the stock motor.

Do want.

my T3 spools better than other SR20 T25s I've seen on a 1.6L, and I can still make 240tq/240hp at the wheels, suckers.

Ya, mine was a cost decision. $100 for a functioning T25 had me sold.

That t25/t28 ISIS turbo looks identical to the one used in the BEGI shanghai system.

It is made by TBO turbo with specs available here: www.tbo-turbo.com
