Welcome to honda-tech where a lot of people have already done what you are thinking of doing. Thus there are threads after threads covering this subject already. See at the top right of every page the RED SEARCH BUTTON! Click that. Search that.

Also read up on turbos before you are putting one in your car. It sounds a lot like you heard turbo cars are fast and now you want it since you have no idea at all what else to buy other than the turbo itself.

Do yourself a favour and read up on how a turbo works and what is required in one. Then do your engine a favour buy picking good quality parts and making sure for safety.

you're not going to go far with just a turbo, as a matter of fact, you're not going to go anywhere!!! do a lotttt of research before boosting.

 

in the DA, just make sure you a good amount of breathing room for the turbo and everything. when I had my turbo in my old DA, still using A/C and P/S, I would have overheating issues (only on 95+ degree days) just because the everything was so cramped up inside the engine bay. thats with a new rad fluid, aluminum rad, and IC. I think since my turbo was right next to my rad, it would get so hot under the hood that the rad would get a lot of the heat and not allow the rad fluid to cool like it should. Only time it didnt overheat was when I was driving so air was getting to the rad.

 

stop saying RAD when you mean radiator. it makes your post really hard to read.

 

im runnin turbo jdm gsr in my DA and its fine on nice cool nights but i'll tellya, ive only experienced like two hot days soo far cuase i recently put my turbo on right before winter and its spring now but all i have to say is that my **** gets madd hott on hotter days, i turn my boost down just to make sure i dont blow **** up(stock block, arp headstuds, cometic thicker hg). i'd go with a half radiator and just get rid of non important stuff(AC, PS) I did and i still feel like its tight in the engine bay. hope this helps peace
