Default Question about Turbo charging

I have a 1997 Honda Accord ex and I am considering putting in a turbo. It has a H23a jdm 2.3 liter with the dohc in it. Would it be possible to put a turbocharger? Any suggestions on turbos? Would it be possible to convert a diesel turbo? If so, what would be an appropriate diesel turbo?

Thanks
John

If your abysmal effort thus far is any indicator, you need to stop right now. Laziness and turbos do not play well together.

Anything with an engine can be turbocharged. Read the FAQ above in its entirety at least twice and then continue to research on your own. A lot.

Although from your post it is fairly obvious your knowledge on turbocharging is minimal or nonexistent. I suggest you find a local reputable shop that works on Hondas, tell them your goals, and have them do the work for you.

Hey man, he does seem over his head even with the basics, but I started with very little knowledge myself and am stilling installing my own kit and everything. A bit tenacious for some maybe but if he has the want he can easily learn everything he needs to hear and with google, as well as trial and area. No need to immediately tell them to outsource to shops ;p

Oh boy, a vendor who sells Chinachargers telling people to PM him.

Shoo, go back to the marketplace where you belong. The only person you're helping here is yourself.

They have to. Spend money on genuine products and you'll just get flamed by the ebay crew for making more powa and going faster on 1/10th of the money.
The whole scene mentality has changed. It went from, "wow, that's a sweet build. Imma save up and do something like that one day." To, "Ha - what an idiot/sucker/dumbass. My bf bought a emoto turbo for $6.13 shipped and he goes faster."
