what all do you have on the car?? turbo/manifold/IC piping/ect/ect....

List everything....have you done ANY fuel mods yet??

[MNLXi4D]

If you haven't done anything for fuel, your fuel pump can't keep up the pressure and you will run out of pressure very quickly. You need whats called an FMU (Fuel Mangament Unit) and vortec makes one of them. Get eather a 12:1 or a 8:1 (Rases X psi fuel for every 1 pound of boost).

I want a turbo :(

[smufguy]

i want one too. damn. ........ sure as hell i will get one

[MNLXi4D]

My dad has one on his Civic, Ahh the power from a turbo! And whats great, he still gets over 30 MPG!!!

I don't see how a turbo would lower gas milage... when you increse the VE things just get better.

and why is'nt the first guy answering?

[MNLXi4D]

Turbos don't really hurt your MPG because it works just like a N/A motor, until you hit boost, than your using more gas, but when your crusing, your not in boost so in that case, its running just like your car normaly does. My dad drives 70 miles around trip every day so to us, its a big thing to get good MPG.

Congrats with the Turbo man, I wish I could be there to hear that thing spool up on that A20A motor!

I'm asking 110 shipped if you want to buy now.

THe one problem stopping many people from turboing the 3g is the lack of a ready made manifold. Justin, 88 turboaccord, had to have his own made. It's also my only problem. I got everything else.

Where did you get it, or failing that, did it come from another car?

[89cordlx]

I think the place is thunder motor sports, they'll make you a custom manifold and downpipe for like $500
