I Goofed, TD04H is the 13G compressor housing, which is what came on my Talon. Small turbo...So small it's depressing
Did you mean TD04H? If so then that's probably a Mitsubishi 14B turbo kit...Not a bad turbo. Came stock on all MT 1900-1994 DSM's. Don't know how it would do on the D17, but I imagine it would be decent size for use on this engine.

Rep Power: 347 Ignore this post, I goofed on the naming of the Turbos. TD04H is 13g, small turbo...
Unless you want a turbo with a Kick-in-the-***** level of power, it is a good turbo for street/some track. If it is a TDO4H, Get it ported. Porting makes them quite a bit better. I have an Automatic DSM (13G turbo...Smaller then 14B) And I ported the OEM mani and the turbo and noticed reduced spool times and a little more pull in the mid range...

Rep Power: 347 No no no....I have an Automatic 92 Eagle Talon. I'm starting to think I don't want to turbo the D17, Unless I take the time and build the engine....

Rep Power: 347 If you do go look at it, Look on the compressor cover (The shiny silver part of the turbo) It should say TD04H on it if it is a Mitsubishi Turbo.

Rep Power: 347 My Civic is a manual, but from what I've read, no matter what you do to the Autos on these cars, they're going to slip, no matter what. Boosted or not.

Ask Gearbox about his tranny, I'm sure he'd give you an earful about it
Rep for me?

Rep Power: 285 A TE04 is basically just a T4 turbo.
T4 based turbos are usually for larger displacement motors. I believe that they were utilized on a certain year of Chrystler Minivan, along with many other vehicles.
The smallest On Center exhaust housing is an AR .58. The smallest Tangental Undivided housing is an AR .50. And the smallest Tangental Divided housing is an AR .58.
(if you dont know the difference between an "On Center", "Tangental Undivided", and "Tangental Divided" housing, then i recommend you do some research before you invest in a T4 based turbo)
Those housings (besides the Tangental Undivided) are all quite a bit larger than what you should utilize on our civics. When paired with a T04E housing, the spoolup time would be pretty bad for a daily driven car. But the top end power would be phenomenal.
