so i have 3 questions, im not much of an fi person, but i didnt know as to weather i could post it here or not.

anyway, so i found a turbo that came from a porsche,i dont know what kind it came from though.

so my questions were kind of vague but i figured i'd still ask.

1) Will the turbo itself fit into a civic or teg? (its pretty damn big)

2) what else would i need to complete it?

3) how could i know if it even works?

thanks for any replies

 

dude i have no idea what its from or if you could make it work, but im pretty sure thats a supercharger

 

lol wtf? really?

 

It's a supercharger, and it's probably from a Porsche plane.

 

def. a supercharger as it is belt driven. Turbo's are driven off of the exhaust. I am sure with some bracket fabrication and some belt testing you could make some thing work. Maybe if you place it where the alternator on on the H22, just a thought. Looks huge man and will prolly cause lots of lag but try it out I'm in for a build thread.

 

yeah thats a centrifugal supercharger, take a pic of it next to a can of soda so we can see how big it is. it may not be worth the work...

 

your better off heading to a junk yard and stripping a decent eclipse or talon of its turbo, ic piping, BOV and Intercooler/ whatever you can salvage and fab your own setup.VERY EASY AND INEXPENSIVE. a buddy of myne did this and has one of the fastes sohc DD around,i have a b18c1 all my parts are top notch and very expensive and he's faster and beter tq also.... all inexpensive junkyard parts
GET THAT

 

wat?

 

your car must be slow if anything with an OEM eclipse sized turbo can beat you... sorry thats just truth...

 

lol true story

 

OMG LMAO

 

haha i lol'd

 

the OP needs to be banned

 

Where does the downpipe bolt to?

 

Based on the vanes' shape/profile, it looks more like a water pump. TUrbo/SC compressors like that have fins that stick out of the compressor. The cover also doesn't have the same expanding volute design like an air-moving compressor.

That is a centrifugal pump, but for a higher density medium. Water pump.
