the only thing close that would be able to fit would be the f22 header...but even that you will have to cut up and weld...A20A1 has a write up on f22 headers for our block so a turbo mani would almost be the same... you can get some manifolds custom made....i think justin86 make em but right now he is trying to sell his own turbo kit.

heres a whole turbo kit. All ready to go.
you either need to buy somebodys that has been custom made or make your own. Nobody makes one

There is also a remote mount turbo setup that bolts to the exhaust or one that uses the header and bolts the the A pipe of the header in a remote location in the engine bay... like where the battery is.

you're carbed... you have lots to learn. forced induction with our carbs is pretty much useless. don't bother.
you want turbo header, here it is. get ready to spend $750 plus shipping on something your car won't be using. http://www.evolution-racing.com/store/exmanifold.htm
get EFI car. turbo on carb engine is just asking for problems.

Thanks guys for lots of help on finding a turbo header
i found a guy here were i live that is macking me a carb hate tubo bonnet
so i can run a turbo through a carb.
yyyyyyeeeeaaaaahhhhh![]()
just convert to efi that would be better than carb plus you can tune it as you adjust your boost
took a whole year but i got the 100th post
yet only took a month to get the 200th

What about your fuel pressure? if you don't increase fuel PSI in relation to boost you'll push all your fuel back out the carb or plug it up at the least. Also the stock float is plastic... it can break under boost pressure.

like I said, take a video of the engine blowing up.
josephgilpin, i hope you know what you are doing, because the way you sound you have no freaking clue how to get around engine bay are or do any major mods.
If you are going with turbo on your carb accord, you will need to upgrade: 1. carb with WEBER at least. 2. fuel pressure, the pressure has to be above the boost you are going to run. 3. find someone who can tune the weber or the carb you are going with so it won't lean out on you.
those are just BASIC things you need to do to keep the car somewhat running.

depends how the condition of the car....if not save up money and get a fuel injected 5 speed and then turboOriginally Posted by fredster102

easiest way to turbo a carbed car is a pull-through setup, just get a bigger CFM carb and you won't have to worry about the fuel pressure changes and the special floats. The stock carb can barely feed the stock motor. I am thinking of going this route myseld if I can't get a good deal on an ECU. It's a cheap alternative, maybe not as efficient as a blow-through but it works

my cars in good condition i can get the conversion done cheap too but would it be worth it and what other mods would i need
