Turbo Turbo Turbo

buy this kit or something simular for your motor (you'll need a turbo manifold this one wont fit yours.

get it installed and tuned on stock internals then dont touch the boost gauge.

Thanks simplegreen

1. Scale 1-10 how would you rate this turbo?

2. How much hp would I gain?

3.Can I use a boost controller?

4. Is it extremly diffucult to install?

Thanks agian for the feedback.

1) i really cant answer this i dont knwo that much about them i'd estimate around a 7 or so it's just been professionally rebuilt (if your talking about the one in the auction)

2) dunno, you'll have to get it tuned and dyno'ed to know that

3) Yes

4) too hard for you to install

SimpleGreen that link was working yesterday but it is brocken today. What was the name of that turbo kit again?

Do you guys buy alot of parts off of ebay?

Can you tell me if this will give me a ballpark of around 200whp because if it is around there it will be worth it.

Are any of you guys in Wisconsin, I need a shop or someone to do my tuning for me.

Anyone else got any idea for a 5k turbo setup?

Just go to our classfieds ad section. Smooth_imports is selling his kit. it should get you to 200 hp with out much trouble although again that manifold wont work on your car you'd have to get one for a sohc.

no i dont buy parts from ebay

They have cars in wisconsin?

a good rule of thumb to guestimate how much power you can theoretically make when boosting is this.....for every 14psi or so, you will net you a 100% increase in horsepower. So theoretically a motor putting out 150 horse power stock boosting at 14psi should theoretically make around 300hp.

boostin at 7psi will net you around 50% increase. 50% of 150hp is 75hp. so boosting 7 psi will theoretically net you 225hp.

its not an exact science, but its a good way to think when looking for numbers. of course there are tons of other factors that effect hp, so this theory wont always hold water.

also, surf on over to www.homemadeturbo.com theres a shitload of SOHC civics there making DIY and bugdet turbo kits. seach around and you'll learn alot from them, i did.

So to get around 200 hp I will need to boost 14 psi, will I need to buff up my engine components to take this much pressure? What is the max my stock engine can go for psi?

So basicly a COMPLETE turbo kit includes:
Turbo Kit
Rods
Pisotons
Sleeves
Intercooler

I am I missing anything?
