So I decided that I/H/E and those simple bolt ons weren’t going to be what I was looking for in my car. I was looking into the H22 swap or the head change, but I don’t think I’m going to be able to do that. So I have a whole bunch of questions about boosting a 2000 EX with a F23A4. I’ve heard that the F series can handle boost pretty well. Mine has 133,000 miles however. I’m not looking to do anything too extreme though. I want more horsepower, but I don’t need 200+. I’m looking at doing 6psi. (How do you set the psi on a turbo anyhow?) As you can see I’m a noob at turbo stuff. So with low boost and good maintenance will I be ok? This car is a daily driver and I don’t want it to leave me sit somewhere.
I was also thinking I could just get another F23A1 and use that for the boost and then have the original as a back up. Would I be able to just drop the A1 in place of the A4. Has anyone done this in here? Is there anything I’d need to change? Is the ECU programmed for U-LEV or will this matter? This is something I would really like to avoid though. If I could just use the engine that’s already in there that would be great.
Now that you know what I’m looking for, on to my questions about boosting. What needs to be done before boosting my car? Is there a reliable site to get turbos from or do you guys know if places like advance auto parts could order performance stuff like this. I’ve never done a turbo before so I don’t want to do a custom. I’ve heard it’s cheaper and you can get better gains from a custom, but I don’t think I could do it. I don’t have the tools I’d need either. It probably would not end up being reliable or tuned right. So I’m looking at purchasing a kit. Has anyone used one of these kits before? Are they worth it or are they just trouble? I’m looking at the FMAX kit, but I can’t find a reliable place to buy. I don’t trust ebay with this much money so that’s out of the question. I’ve seen turbonetics, TSI and DRAG kits too. (Are the FMAX and turbonetics kit the same)? Would doing the kit be my best bet? Are there down sides to the kits? Do I need anything else besides what’s in the kit? They come with instructions right? Lol, I couldn’t find one that listed instructions, but I’d assume they’re in there. Has anyone used one of these kits or heard anything about them in particular. Which company has a good reputation?
Also I need this car to pass inspection and not have any lights come on when the turbo is in. I heard that a turbo could mess up your AC? Does this have any truth to it? It makes no sense to me… Remember safety, longevity, passing inspection and reliability are important here. Money is not as important, but I’m not trying to throw it away. HP gains are important, but I could live with 180 whp from this, that would be cool. Oh, and does it matter that the kit says it’s for the F23A1 and I have the F23A4? Answering any of my questions would be a great help. Thanks everyone. This site has some of the kits I was looking at.
