turbo help
i have a 93 civic ex... d16z6.
ive never done a turbo setup before, but i plan to.
ive got the turbocharger, manifold, and downpipe. a b16 ecu that supposedly worked on the same setup.
what else do i need?
couldnt i just get an ebay piping+intercooler for less than $200 and be done?

Re: turbo help
u will also need bigger injectors, bigger fuel pump, oil line kit for the turbo, bov, wastegate if turbo doesnt have a internal wastegate and a good tune.

Re: turbo help
^^^ no electric boost control get manual cuz its your first turbo (im assuming)
You'll also need a clutch if you dont got a beefy one
And dont rely on somebody telling you the ecu workd on the same setup thats how you blow up your engine at startup. You gotta get a good good tune

Re: turbo help
What kind of power goal do you have? You might not need a new fuel pump. I run 300hp off the stock fuel pump.
But definently get new injectors such as injector dynamics. The rc injectors have old technology. Dont skimp on on your parts. Your gonna spend more money down the road replacing all the cheap ebay crap you bought. I know i am.

Your gonna need plenty of vacuum hose.
Intercooler piping couplers for the piping and clamps and intercooler (quality of the cooler is up to you but you get what you pay for)
If it's an externally gated turbo don't skimp on the wastegate go with something from Tial the 38mm gates aren't to expensive and they hardly every fail. and when they do fail it's usually operator error!
Turbo time is almost a must
you don't necessarily need a boost controler right away, if it's an external wastegate you can change the spring pressure in the gate or use a boost controller. if it's internal you will need a controller to adjust boost though.
oil feed and return lines for the turbo
if you plan to run aything over 11psi of boost your gonna need to do something about a MAP sensor (stock won't read over 11psi'ish)
