    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.

    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.

    Re: A20 Turbo Header

    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

    Re: A20 Turbo Header

    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.

    Re: A20 Turbo Header

    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.
    Alex.

    Re: A20 Turbo Header

    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
