*searched for a few weeks now for info*

joining the Turbo Civic club. just bought a d16a6 (Si) and a td05h 14b turbo. i have a few questions for you guys so i can get it up and running (goal is 20-25psi -- yes, i realize how much forging i need to do to the block -- its already being taken care of )

1.) Recommended intercoolers for a 1991 Civic DX (sedan). Brand, size (bolt on, little or no modification to a stock bumper -- willing to do some modification to make it fit), etc. Like i said above, motor will be a6 (Si motor), with a td05h 14b turbo, if that matters at all.

2.) where can i get a copy of UberEdit, or TurboEdit (whatever their called?)? Which do you recommend? Others? Ease of use?

Any other tips for a turbo n00b would be greatly appreciated. I'm doing this myself, homemadeturbo.com is helping alot, just wanted specifics from the friendly and helpful folks around here as well.


Thanks!

 

a greddy type 31 FMIC will fit nicely

 

thanks!

anyone else?

 

yeah the 31V is a little pricy, buy a johnny race car intercooler from less than $200 order bends off of JC whitney or something and do the setup your self, you'll sace about $200+.

run uberdata its nice for the DIY, and everyone and their grandma knows how to use it

oh and run a bigger turbo, at those boost levels your going to be very disapointed with the power it makes expecially if your trying to run 20psi+.
<U>set a goal for HP, not psi</U>

 

well i know that the turbo i have isnt good past about 16psi. so, my goal is between 7 and 15psi to start off with. the 20-25 will come afterwards, probably through the winter, when i have the money to upgrade the turbo kit, and upgrade to stage 3 internals (currently building the motor with stage 2 internals).

and yes, i have a hp goal already as well. but i'll keep that to myself until i see what the motor runs w/o turbo, and then w/ 7psi and w/ 15psi..

man, the guys over at HMT are jerks. as for help over there and you cant get it w/o smartass comments and people just being ******.

i love it here

anything else from anyone?

which size johnnyracecar? 5"? 6"? Does it matter? I like the 6

 

yeah for your situation for sure the 6". the five is for anything under 7psi-ish area. i run the 6 just to be safe and plus its only like $30 more i think and its hp rating is way higher. 6"

 

sounds good. thats the one i like anyway

 

wth is stage 2 and 3 internal?

 

internals. stage 2 cams, stage 3 cams, things like that. basically evrything will be the best it can be inside that block
