New Turbo Setup Help
I just bought a 1999 Civic Si, and I have been on this website for a while now. Now I am looking to build a reliable daily driving 275- 300 hp turbo car. Money is not the biggest factor, but I would like to do this as cheap as possible. I have been searching around on this forum and some others such as homemadeturbo, clubsi and this is basically what I have come up with so far.
- A T3 Turbo (probably a garett but am up to something else) I have no idea what the trim means. I am looking more for a turbo that spools quicker and up to my redline then a turbo that can generate higher boost but more lag.
- Manifold- I was leaning towards a log style due manily because I think its good enough to reach my goal, and the price is the best( also I still want AC + PS)
-Intercooler- No idea what size to get( I dont want to have to make to much modification to the bumper) As far as the piping I was wondering if anyone knew a place to find piping with a flange for a greddy BOV already on
-BOV- I was leaning towards Greddy type s
-Wastegate- I was looking at tial no idea what size would be best
-Downpipe either a 2.5 or 3 "
-Fuel Management - I was thinking for starters Walbro Intake pump, Injectors 550 cc, Fuel pressure regulator ( then to manage this with the boost I was thinking either uberdata, crome, or hondata ) The AEM unit is just to much for me at this time. I also was going to get a OBDI ECU with the conversion harness to run these programs
I wanted to know if this seemed like I was heading in the right direction, if I was forgetting anything, or if you would recommend something else. I have searched for very long and from searching this is what I could piece together

Re: New Turbo Setup Help (JDM_EM1)
Good start. don't forget your guages, and all the oil lines and what not. Probably a sandwich adapter. Might look into an oil cooler, not necessary by any means though. The rest of your exhuast, and so on. Good start though.
