elites416 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Ok so i'm just starting to learn about cars so don't freak out on me. i have a 2001 civic and my friend and i are going to start doing some work on it. my brother tells me the other day he has a turbo kit from his oldsmobile i can have and that it will fit into my civic engine. i don't know if this is true or not and like i said i dont know too much about cars so does anyone have any advice? will a domestic part work? also any suggestions on easy beginner mods for civics? thanks!

Kastigir Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 What kind of turbo? It might take a custom manifold being made, but it can be bolted up to your Civic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kastigir Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 really?! Sure, you can bolt any turbo to pretty much any motor, if you have the right components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 A turbo by itself, and some of the piping and assorted parts, are pretty generic. The size of the turbo is an issue though. Bigger turbo equates to more boost and more power, it also means more lag too, but a bigger turbo needs a properly built and sized engine or you will just destroy your stuff.

Humphries Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 the piping and oil fittings and manifold wouldnt be compatible but any turbo that can fit in the engine bay can be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
