lol...i got a dsm turbo...but no walk in the park...total kit 1,500

[2oodoor]

absolutley yes, as long as the said turbo is in usable condition

you will want to research the models used in which oem apps so you know the specs

[Rendon LX-i]

Also Study it...dont just think oh im putting a turbo on LOL no no no my friend...you need a way to supply fuel and control em...so a safc and btm and 450cc blue tops if you what or a lower 340cc.. you need to make your own manifold an charge pipes. if need a half size radiator. theres no way your gonna get a t3 in ther unless you do a side mount. Anywho. learn how the redo your pcv system under boost. need to get a base start on safc and timming. and need to figured how to make a down pipe which a ass face to do Need to have money lol...something i didn have for awhile...alot of things to consider...Do a comp test and make sure your block can take it...if one of them is lower i wouldnt do it...SO man do your research...I can tell you i learned most of turbo basics on homemadeturbo.com...hoped i help

sorry rendon but i only understood about half of what you said.

for example:

"and need to figured how to make a down pipe which a ass face to do Need to have money lol"

WTF?

grammar fail lol.

[Rendon LX-i]

A... I dont care if i write fucked up....point is bro...you need alot of shit

manifold
injectors
obd1 or safc
btm
downpipe
turbo...w/e
half size radiator
tuning

what im saying its not a walk in the park...you got half the shit i told you so dont give me that crap lol...i was buzzing at the time. RESEARCH thats all im going to say...asking alot of questions not going to help but piss half of us off when you can use the search button COOL? k

I figured well i got a turbo should be easy NOT...if you have a buddy that welds for free there you go. Im just saying once again research dont ask....been plenty of questions on this topic on this ,theres is a STICKY for a fact on this forum....try that...tells you everything

[2oodoor]

yeah yeah what he had said, I thought OP meant just the turbine. But yes, the turbine is only part of it, you still need the plumbing and an engine management system or modification that can be interfaced to adjust the injector function and timing curves.
You can rig up a rough boosted set up with bare bones parts but it will not last very long. The whole idea with a turbo set up is durabiltiy, reliabilty, streetability.

[jamesh23]

so what can you do to our cars that will add 30 hp without 1500 dollars?

[Rendon LX-i]

intake.header,exhuast done from header, cam. b16 intake manifold. shit like that well get you about 20 hp gain but to gain high numbers you need forced induction.

[MessyHonda]

yeah turbo can get costly....you also got to remember to get a good clutch....hardest part is to get a manifold and tune it

[Rendon LX-i]

yup....thats why im going obd1....MESSY HINT HINT LOL....

[jamesh23]

intake.header,exhuast done from header, cam. b16 intake manifold. shit like that well get you about 20 hp gain but to gain high numbers you need forced induction.

about how much would all that cost? I am planning on getting headers, a cherry bomb, straightpiping the car at 2.5" all the way back to a 3a racing muffler. I already have an intake, the car is still really slow.

[Rendon LX-i]

um header is a bit steep....bout 200, cam is 120 from delta. b16 mani is 25-30 bucks. exhuast it verys depending where you live..i get hook ups lol but

[MessyHonda]

about how much would all that cost? I am planning on getting headers, a cherry bomb, straightpiping the car at 2.5" all the way back to a 3a racing muffler. I already have an intake, the car is still really slow.

yup...you got to remember you are starting with a 110hp engine....all that stuff will just make it breath better

[jamesh23]

yup...you got to remember you are starting with a 110hp engine....all that stuff will just make it breath better

my car is an lxi so it shoudl have 130 hp,and where can i get a b16 intake manifold for that much?

[Rendon LX-i]

lol....just cause its a lxi bro doesnt mean its 130...lol...carb 98 and lxi 110

[Tomisimo]

Yea, or get a A20a4 dizzy and ECU, that way no EGR, than it makes 122hp. plus every thing Randon, Roodoo and Messy mantioned, you'll have 145hp tops, minus 25% on friction so by that you'll only have around 105-106Hp@wheels

[Rendon LX-i]

what if you get a a20a4 and a ecu.....and no CEL for egr? im used to it anyways

['A20A3']

i've been running no EGR for over year and dont throw a code unless i unplug the sensor wire for it. i just made an aluminum block-off plate for the pipe to manifold connection. blocked off the exhaust port. used some Permatex black on the intake manifold, all is well.

[Rendon LX-i]

you have a 88/89 thats the reason. But i wont have that after obd1 swap

[2oodoor]

so what can you do to our cars that will add 30 hp without 1500 dollars?

nitrou:flash:s oxide and obd1

[Civic Accord Honda]

lol....just cause its a lxi bro doesnt mean its 130...lol...carb 98 and lxi 110

86-89 carb =98hp yes

86-87 efi = 119
88 efi = 122
89 efi = 120
i know weird right?
thats the numbers coming from honduh brosures

what he said.

it be expensive and a pia but its worth it in the end just gotta start saving up and reading up and dont expect it to be a walk in the park
