i have any 07 civic 1.8lt auto. should i turbo it? i have a t3/t4 garrett turbo and a t3 garrett turbo i also have a intercooler, waste gate, blowoff valve, flanges, boost guage just laying around so should i?

 

.....Wow.... yeah, just need a custom intake and turbo manifold.

 

....Or you could just give all that stuff to me and I'll get it done.

 

lol im sure u would like that! i dont know though has anyone done a turbo setup on a sohc 07?

 

... and only 3 posts up from this one (or right below now) is an update on an R18 turbo from AJP. So, yep, someone has. There's a video listed on here too. Take a look around and do some searching.

 

think its worth it?

 

go turbo your car and tell us what u think

it really depends on you though. if you want to race in a base civic which was orginally ment for gas mileage

and theres why..

 

the answer to that question is always yes.

 

see thats where im stumped its an automatic!?! is there any parts to build the motor anywhere if i do it i want to run around 15pounds

 

how would you tune it?

 

i have a shop i take it to to do all my tuning. i also have a 01 mitsubishi eclipse 4cylinder turbo

 

Yeah those auto trannys definitely arent geared up or built for any sort of power. You may hit issues with that.

 

Yeah bro, def. can't run 15 psi on an auto tranny.... if it was manual, maybe, but even then, when you're reaching that high in psi in a high compression engine.... bah... looking at internals and possibly a stroker kit, and I don't see that coming out for a looooong time..... but you can still give me yur turbo parts and I'll make sure they get put to good use.

 

My answer to that question is, how long you want to keep your car? The wear and tear of forced induction "could" shorten the cars life. If you have the money, I say go for it. If you don't, I would consider another car to start from. Not a lot of charted territory with a turboed auto FA/FG.

 

/\ He's got a good point, plus no need to tear apart a perfectly good FG. Especially with a warranty still on there. That's like taking a crap on $2,000. But then again, with a different perspective, if you got the parts laying around... do something with them.

 

S/C

 

T/C

 

S/C = longer engine life

T/C = more power

 

T/C ... and that's not particularly true, I bet that mazda suv that's turbo'd has a decent lifespan.... and it all depends on how you tune it and how you drive it.

 

True. The Mazda CX-7?? I heard about that SUV. Seems pretty pointless to Turbo an SUV though. But that's just my .02.

 

It is fairly pointless.... but that thing is quick....

 

So is a Porsche Cayenne.

 

You got me there

 

how about the rdx? you guys forgot about that one...awd turbo.

 

Porsche Cayenne = 520hp Twin Turbo V8

RDX can't touch it.
