Default from turbo to n/a

Hey I've been trying to trade my Honda for a daily, but people only want to give me crap cars for it. Anyways im boosted but can't get a filter on without removing the head light. How hard and how much would it be to go back to n/a? New tune, manifold, injectors, exhaust, intake....can I use the same oil pan or do I need a new one because of my oil feed lines? Thanks in advance

Or you can just remove the turbo, install a header and SRI, and be done with it. No new tune needed. No new injectors needed. Plug the bung in the oil pan.

My tune on the p30 ECU with launch control will be fine still? Also 450cc injectors are not to big? Won't it be to much fuel for n/a?

So you are going back to n/a bc you can't fit a filter on? It looks like you have something to block any thing rock and such from entering the turbo. Also if you do go back to n/a, follow what the guy above me said except I would go retune it.

No. It doesn't work the way you seem to think it works.

No that's not the only reason haha I just want it reliable. And I've just decided I wanted an all motor build for this one. So I need new headers, and manifold is all I need? Are the 450cc injectors alright if I get a new tune

The 450s are big for an NA setup but they would still work. The easiest thing to do in the short term would be put a stock ROM back in your ecu along with a set of stock injectors. Reinstall the stock MAP sensor, and throw a generic header and intake on it. Then worry about getting it tuned down the road. Unless you've changed the static compression ratio to an extreme and aren't using mild cams the stock ecu should do the job.

As far as the oil pan if your return line uses AN fittings you can just put a cap plug on the pan.

I've got a guy who wants to trade set ups. I get 2.5 ITR headers, and stock manifold, Gsr injectors, plus 300$ Why do you think?

I don't know your setup but that's not a fair deal.

Bought it with the motor and a bad turbo after it ran good for a week. The new turbo is a t3t4, skunk 2 injectors, skunk 2 manifold, are all new as well not sure on a brand for the intercooler

Yea that doesn't sound anywhere near like a fair deal

I'm also trying to figure out why you have your two breather ports on your valve cover looped together...

And keep the intake manifold. It's an improvement over the OEM but won't interfere with the stock ecu as far as drivability.

I'm guessing the seller like his catch cans.

OP I would look for a better deal or atleast tell the guy 600 and the trade because everything he's giving you pretty much worthless.

Yes. You don't need to change the intake manifold. You only need to change the turbo manifold to a header.

Exhaust and intake. I'd find a mechanically inclined friend to help you so you don't get ripped. If you were on the east coast, I was going to offer you a swap but that's not going to happen from Utah.

So how much do you think it will cost to go back to n/a with a decent set of headers, intake, a tune, and maybe injectors?

Header. Singular. You only need 1. You can get a knockoff ITR header off eBay for like, $60. Intake, same deal, just get a cheap SRI off eBay for $30, and toss a quality filter on it (K&N is a good option), $25. Stop worrying about the injectors. You don't need to replace them. An NA re-tune, which again, not necessary, but that depends entirely on where you live. Realistically, if you take it back to whoever did your turbo tune for you, it should be cheap. Or you can just call Xenocron and order a basemap for cheap.

I may be interested in buying the kit if your deal doesn't go through. Pm me the specs if so.
