What's all needed for a turbo set up?

[AccordRacing21]

I don't mean to repeat a post for the 1000th time if it's already been asked, but what all is needed to turbo a car? I know the turbo manifold and the blow off valve, but I really don't understand it and know what parts I need. Also, I know people here make and sell turbo manifolds, so who's making them? Does anyone have a full turbo set up for an A20 for sale? Thanx for the help.

some things you'll need if you are willing to do it yourself:

knowledge, time... <----
turbine, compressor, piping, blow-off valve, intercooler(optional, but worth it), and a few other things...

Engine management is probably your #1 priority aside from stronger internal parts. Pistons, Rods.


Best thing is to Research it, google, buy a book.
I mean we can help you but what if something goes wrong... how are you going to rely on us 24/7 to help fix the problem. If you understand turbocharging and what is involved you'll be better off in the long run.

It's that whole someone gives you a fish and you'll eat for that day, but learn how to fish and you'll eat for a lifetime.

Yup there be an orgy of information and good links. I wish people would use it more often... or read it all the way through before they say it's no good.

Another very good thread is the link thread to all the turbo projects, pictures and R&D threads.

adams86lxi is selling his b20a with the turbo and all for $800. that's cheaper than what it would cost to turbo the a20. all you need to do is find a new piston (although i hear b16a pistons fit with minor modding).

Obviously having the engine rebuilt, and changing the internals will make a huge difference, plus your engine will most likely last longer, but AccordEpicenter(MY HERO) prove us that our engines can handle a fair amount of boost with stock internals, so if you are really anxious of going fast then you can safely build an overall good setup and have fun.


Edit: AccordEpicenter's car does 13.7 spinning tires in the first, and second gear. It is in third when it chirps at first and finally have complete traction. His motor internals are stock supposedly. http://www.sounddomain.com/ride/250993/1 <--- this is the car I'm talking about. His car runs with full interiors.
