You get what you pay for!

 

Thanks guys.
Ill look into a brand name.(used) of course.
What is a good brand.
and also im doing all this in my 1991 civic so do i need to get 4 wire o2 for wideband

 

Any wideband O2 you buy comes with the sensor. If you're looking for a used turbo the most common ones you will run across is Garrett or Precision. Both are great units.

 

Oh i c

how do i wire a wideband? on a obd0 car
Thanks for all the info sc34...

 

precisions entry line, like the SC34 can be had for $539 now a days. please guys, don't cheap out on that. as most of us know, **** turbos cost you more in the long run

 

The Aem Uego is a self contained unit. They are like $180 new $150 used. All you need is a power and ground wire hooked up.

 

i went a year boosting daily on a 100% stock bottom end b18a1 at 315whp 220trq revving too 8200rpm and i still believe it would be running if i diddent drive threw a big a** puddle tuned by the best at english racing tho...right now im boosting 353whp 254trq revving 8200 daily just has the upgraded nippon pistons and arp rod bolts(acl race bearings)


its ALL in the tune

 

JDM Sport turbos are made in the USA as are CXRacing so they last a lot longer than the average Ebay China turbo. But they still are not as good as a Garrett.

 

Cant build a fast car with out a goal and researching needed parts to make it all work together. All the top racers do tons of R&D before doing anything. A well planned build will result in a well balanced car and motor. Just my 2 cents.

 

LoL Where is your source for THAT information?

 

Source is the suppliers JDM Sport and CXRacing as well as using these turbos in cars in the past. I agree the GodSpeed turbos suck and are cheap Chinese, but the other 2 are a pretty good deal for the quality and money. I would never use a cheap turbo on one of my cars and JDM Sport has given me years of use with no issues.

 

^^^ YOU'RE A FU-KING IDIOT! PLEASE JUST STOP TALKING. YOU CLEARLY DON'T HAVE A CLUE AS TO WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

 

pretty much, this is why yours lived and many of the others done just the same fail

btw, how did a puddle kill the engine? did you not have the air filter up high?

 

Now that is one famous worldwide saying that applies absolutely everywhere...

 

Dude I would not have said it if it was not true, no need to be an a$$. I have used several JDM Sort turbos on many builds and never once had an issue with a turbo failing or boost creeping. I would not touch one sold by anyone else on ebay as the failure rate is pretty scary. JDM Sport is making a good name for themselves Project Car Magazine has been looking into their parts recently and testing them as well. I also have JDM Sport upper control arms on my current car and have no issues and camber adjustment is great. I have only used 2 turbos from CXRacing and both of those have been on the street daily abused and some track time for 2-3 years now, but since I have only ever used 2 I can not say too much for them.
Here are the ones I have had good results with

Granted the best way to go is a Garrett, Turbonetics, Precision, Greddy as they are the industries tried and true turbos and have lived for over 100K miles. While I will be the first person to speak up against using a China turbo there are some that do well if money is limited. But IMO you really should not be building a turbo kit if you are too worried about money.

 

My B18b made 268whp 232tq with 450cc with room.

 

 

thanks guys. ill look into a used arrett.

 

If my motor were to give out were would it go?
Were are Ls weak spots when it comes to BOOST

 

puddle went over the bumper and started over the hood turbo sucked up ALOT...hydrolocked and seized ended up bending 1 rod


but i do believe the ls weak point is more of the sleeves iv seen quite a few cases were the sleeves themselves cracked but still all being in the tune..

personally i would tell you too max were i was bout 315whp-320whp on 92oct on a 100% stock bottom end it gives room too be daily'd and used

oh and keep your revs below 8k i was at 8200 but the last 200rpm was worthless

 

Sleeves are the same as a B18c. Ring lands are always weakest link

 

rc550cc should do the job for daily driving buddy

 

i went 12.4@110 on stock LS, ebay turbo, Crome, and DSM 440cc injector on 22" slicks 10psi of boost , stock map sensor.

 

nice numbers
what chassiss?
complete interior?
What rpms laucn
