Okay so this is the deal with my Accord, its a 90 DX with 316,xxx miles. If I were able to go to a junk yard and find a turbo from like an old saab or something. Then I were to like weld up a manifold and custom make everything. How well could I possibly get this to run without changing any fuel components or anything else. Basically just bolt on the turbo and go. This car is pretty much at the end of its lifetime anyway, so this is a consideration sometimes.

Could this work?

 

please do not look at DIY turbos or homebrewturbo or the forced induction forum


(the answer is yes you could do it - safely ? probably not)

 

Now do you mean safely to myself? Or safely to the car.

 

probably not safe to the car, w/o a decent tune and fuel upgrades its gonna run into lean spots and blow up

or so ive heard

 

but it would run, for a little while at least? Thats what I was looking for, I wasn't going to search through like 8 pages of "F22 Turbo" posts when all I want to know is will my car run with no fuel upgrades if I drop a turbo in.

If you are not willing to research what you are doing and if you just want to know what will happen then I can tell you right now. It will blow up as soon as you hit the throttle and then you will be pissed and say that you don't know why it happened. This is a pointless thread.
