My husband has a 4th gen lude that he has put a H23A non vtech motor in, he wants to put a turbo kit on it but has not had time to look into it. I am trying to get the kit and what ever else is needed to get his car the way he wants it to be. I know that he wants to have the car running at least 8psi and try to get the car to as close to 300hp's as possible. I am not as car literate as all of you so plz excuse me if i use the wrong terms, or if my questions sounds funny. If anyone could plz let me know from thier experience with that motor and types of turbo kits that are compatable I would greatly appreciate it. I am trying to get all the parts he needs so that I can give them to him for his b-day present.

Thank You In Advance

 

It will take a lot of time, research and $$$ to get good parts for a custom turbo kit. What you want to for him is very nice , but a cheap turbo kit is a disaster-waiting-to-happen.

Maybe you could get him parts for a turbo kit, like a good Tial blow-off valve or wastegate?

 

the boost section has the answer to all your questions.

as for complete kits I believe turbonetics makes a complete bolt on kit for the H23 but your not going to get 300whp out of that kit stock, nor would I reccomend running 8PSI on it.

a good custom kit to get 300whp out of 8PSI would be around 5grand with all new parts and another grand or 2 to install, I'm assuming you are going to be using a BB 62-1 trim and some sort of full engine mangement system like hondata and have it dyno tuned.

BUt your going to need

Injectors
fuel management
Turbo
piping
3inch exhaust
turbo manifold(probably going to need a equal length for your goals log might work fine though)
turbo timer
gauges(boost and wideband at the least)
intercooler
boost controller
wastegate
Blow off valve
clamps
vaccum lines
vaccum T's
probably a vaccum block
dyno tuning
silicone couplers
and more money every week for gas as you will have to be running 93octane from here on out(91 if 93 isn't available)

boost FAQ should answer most your questions though

 

Thank you for the info. The reason for the 300whp target is due to him having stage 2 cams.

Thanks Again

Woah stop there. I have stage II cams and am going turbo soon and believe the stock cams are much much better to use so switch those back in.

The stage II cams will not be good for this as they increase duration along with other issues.

Just like you want higher compression for all motor setups and you want the complete opposite (low compression) for a turbo setup. (this same principle applies for cams)

hope this helps.
and you can sell the stageII cams to pay for some turbo parts

some1 please correct me if i am wrong.

 

correct your going to want some type of cam grind that made for turbo.

the only reason you lower the compression on a boosted motor though is to give you more room to raise the boost to gain more power.

usually on boosted motors your looking for around 8.5:1 or 9:1 compression ratio.

 

Thank you again for the info. Much appreciated.

 

Get him a JDM H22 and a Greddy Turbo Kit. The H22 is a better platform and with the Greddy kit it will put you very close to 300whp and its bolt-on.
