Want to go turbo? HOW TO

[Mario Andres]

hey everybody lets put together a generic build list with prices for the guy with a stock civic wanting to get down the on ramp quicker. this is very basic so EVERYBODY can understand so i will not go into depth regarding parts which are not necessary on a honda (ie: fpr, boost controller, turbo timer etc). please reply with helpful information regarding each on of these aspects of a build (ie: product, prices and whp capability). stock fpr, fuel filter, fuel rail, fuel lines, spark plug wires, ignition system, raditor, etc have made 550+whp reliably. this will be edited..

What about JohnnyRaceCar.com for the intercooler and kteller.com for the charge pipes? I didnt see a section for the manifolds either... well, I think this is a good deal for a top mount. It looks so pretty.

what about oil lines?

[Type - O]

pistons and rods?

pistons and rods?

not needed for simple set ups.

[Type - O]

not needed for simple set ups.

oh...my bad.

[ARMS]

umm boost gauge,maybe a/f ratio and vaccum block

[thaiphob]

A wideband would be something nice to have also...

[noVtecHERE]

yes a wideband, but simple is as simple as possible... lol...



Stealthmode oil lines seem to be the cheapest i can find, then also there is couplers from Napa, i dont think johnny rocket is still in business they might be but from what i heard they werent

[ej1_ex]

how power are you looking at here. If your looking at 150-180 whp, then this setup will be okay.

the early DX 1988-1991 civic Upper manifold and an adapter plate work great for a turbo manifold...

[MichaelKnight]

SWEEEEEEEEEEEET Post man,

I am going to turbo my SOHC, this list is perfect for a turbo novice like me.

good call!

[noVtecHERE]

man this is fun... u should see my homemade simple nitrous kit... :)

[bodydrop]

on a couple of my 2.3 turbo fords i had fuel line for my turbo oil lines, can you not do this with a honda?

[azteamextreme]

lol

[18c]

well i guess you could use fuel lines with the right fittings?, the hardest part is figuring out what size and fittings you need. I think usually i go with 3an on the feed and 10an on the return. Also isnt the oil fitting on the block bspt and not nspt or something like that?

[midnightsdawn89]

The most important part of boosting a car is The WIDEBAND buy that first then get all your other shit., and learn how to use it.. that way you dont have to replace your motor a week later....

how much whp would a t3 turbo on a d series make?

[midnightsdawn89]

how much whp would a t3 turbo on a d series make?

that depends on alot of things.. i have seen single cams make as little as 180-whp on like 10psi and i have seen some make up to 330ish with a little motor work and a good tune

[Lilrob]

would u recomend buildin the motor up before boostin it?
