new to the turbo world and i need some help
ok heres the deal. i now all about allmotor and making a car fast going that route. now i want to start a new project going the turbo route. now i have searched and read everyones post and **** but i want to know what all i need to buy. right now i have the following
rc 370 injectors
a garret t-25 turbo and a custom manifold that i found on ebay
a greddy bov and tail wastegate and a apex afc and a side mount intercooler that i found at the junkyard and i have a shop that can do all the piping.
now my plan is to but all this on a 91 civic hb w/ a dohc zc swap and i only want to boost 6-8 pounds until i build the block .
so for all u experience people out there what else should i get to make this a nice little set up. and i plan to only use the zc block not a b-series

Oil feed and return lines and fittings for both.. you neep to tap an oil pan or buy one already tapped.. You will probably need a new clutch for your power goals ( which you didn't mention, just a boost level ).. Couplers, i'd suggest silicone so you do it right the first time, and T-clamps, You'll need some sort of fuel management but that is up to you, ya have to research that and make your choice based on research.. To monitor your motor you may want to get oil pressure, air/fuel ratio or EGT, and a boost/vaccuum guage..

Re: (IntegracinGSR)
cool thanks for the reply and i did know about the oil feed and return lines. but as far as my goals are i want as least high 12's but thats after i build the block but for rite now i basically want to get 200 to the wheels because thats all i think the block can handle right now with out any kind of work done . but too as far as fuel management goes thats what i plan to use the afc for until i decide to go with hondata.
but keep all the comments coming

Re: (streetdreams02)
Lets see, 200 to the wheels could probably be achieved in theory with 8 or 9 psi. I assume you have the standard I/H/E work done so you should be clear in the aspect. Which tranny are you running with the ZC? Also, what is the compression of the motor at this point? That will dictate what you can run without worry.
