92civicEX Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 I'm looking in to putting a turbo in my car. I know this requires a whole lot of modifications to be able to run. After looking on eBay, I noticed a few "turbo kits" like this one here. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/92-00-Honda...1QQcmdZViewItem Would something like this contain everything I would need to instal/run the turbo, or is this just some gimic?
compuvision02 Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 It does, but it doesn't. You really want to upgrade your engine internals, but to run just a low boost stock engine, that should be everything you need. I wouldn't trust that it will 100% work with power steering and air conditioning, just because it is an eBay kit, but you maybe able to keep it. D-Series kits are cheap, you could probably find a "nicer" kit for around the same price.
airjordan223 Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 those ebay kits look good, but i just dont trust them "Minimum amount of pipe bends to allow for greater exhaust flow.(Gain 10-15HP)" haha yeah okay
CleanGSR Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Here's my thought. Buy an SSAC turbo kit for $750....send the turbo off and have it completely rebuilt w/ garret internals for $250. Junk the mani and get a used cast mani for around $250. You'd have a decent turbo setup w/ good manifold, and essentially a garrett turbo for $1250 Add hondata and tune $500-600 and you'd have a really nice turbo setup tuned on hondata for around $1800. How's that sound? Edit: I forgot about new injector's, but that kit already comes with a nice cast manifold (I'd trust that not to crack) so you'd still be under $2000.00.
92civicEX Posted February 15, 2007 Author Posted February 15, 2007 I guess nobody liked my idea? Thanks for the imput guys. What are your opinions on putting a turbo on a d16? Could the engine handle it just fine? Is it a smart upgrade to make? Haha, I apologize for all the newb questions... I'm just eager to learn.
