I just put the OBX and Tsudo manifold just to throw it out there.
I choose to use a T28 instead of T3/T4 just because i'm more of a low end power type of person. When you street race or even race against fast cars you need all the low end you can get. some time the races are just 0-60.
Civics never win 0-60 on most major power cars.

Civics race from a 40mph roll.

Are you planning on shifting before 5k in every gear? You need power up top, bro.

Yeah. Talk about short shifting.

So what i'm reading means. With a T25 or T28 my car wouldn't be good for over 5k rpm.
What rpm would a T25 or 28 kick in at?
What rpm would a T3/T4 kick in at?

Something to consider if your into racing, how long are you below 4000 RPM's when you race?? Maybe for a second when you launch right ??? Then the rest of the time if your shifting at redline, your above 4500 RPMS.

I use a t3/t4e 57 trim with a .48 ar turbine with a stage III wheel and .60 ar compressor. Spoolup is super fast and I have plenty of top end on it as well. It's a very versatile turbo and will make alot of power. I could probably get 350-ish whp out of this turbo.

Well that does sound good. Don't get me wrong but i'm only going to run a turbo at 6 psi or maybe, just maybe 8psi but i don't thing so.

My motor is not built and don't know when it would be.

With the info you have now. What turbo do you suggest?
T3/4 or T3 or T25BB

The most power i'll ever see out of my car is 180 or 190 at the most.
All i want is a little bit fast car.
If i was going to boost really high for 350 hp i would have got a SRT-4

get a like a GT28RS or something of the sort. Fast spoolup time, decent top end power.

XxJDMCivicxX is an unknown quantity at this point
If all you want is 190-200whp I would say save the money get a log manifold and a better turbo and you'll easily be within reach of your goals. GT28RS would easily make up to 300whp so it i'll be more than enough for you with your setup and a nice spool time.
