im trying to decide on a homemade or used greddy turbo to run nomore than 6 psi on my zc...or a nx wet kit.

problem is that i NEED a/c in fl...so if u cant have a reliable turbo setup i will just go n2o..

regardless i plan to get:
gsr injectors
some sort of inline fuel pump
a/f gauge
fuel press gauge
boost/n2o gauge

also on the fuel pump wat are the advantages/disadvantages of an inline pump..cuz i really dont feel like pulling the tank.

 

Correct me if im wrong, but i don't think the tank needs to be dropped to get at he fuel pump, just take out your back seats and its right there!

 

get n2o...nice and cheapomania!!!

 

get a homemade turbo for like 300 bucks, so when you need it it will always be on tap for ya!

 

Yes, tank does need to be dropped. I thought the same thing until I went to install my WALBRO 190LPH pump. when I removed the seats and the little cover I found that only the sending unit for the fuel gauge is located there. The pump drops in a different location on top of the fuel tank, Good news though, our cars have a drain plug on the tank, so completley empty it and it will be easier to drop

 

think about it.... both of em are boost, both of em will add 50-75 hp. both of em cost money... ok, so now which one never runs out? ....exactly, go turbo.

 

ok this sounds dumb but. im an engineering major.
get your trusty calculator.
figure how many times you floor it in a day and then factor in the costs and graph them. use the variable x as the number of days it would take for the turbo to pay for its self.
not hard my calculations are about a year, so why not just go turbo and have free boost after a year.

derek

 

NO MORE MATH!!

 

pass on the gsr injectors they flow at the same rate.
240 cc..

edit: BOOST!!!

a homemade turbo? what and how??
mike

 

ok...i will do the turbo thing if and only if i can find a way to keep the a/c!!

also ill just get the prelude injectors then..

 

Okay, well my freind is experimenting with a homeade turbo setup, and its ending up costing him a good bit. I mean the parts he has gotten so far are worth it, but just the whole thing in general, myself I am telling him to sell everything and get nitrous for his LS...

 

but he does not own a D-series .. homemade turbo set ups can be had for very EASILY and cheap for civics being that you guys can use a 88-91 STD DX./ HF exhaust manifodl or the 92-95 civic CX/VX . check out homemadeturbo.com

so far my turbo kit cost me 1200$ its a modfied greddy D-series unit. i should have just put one together with **** that fits but ahh wells. full boost at 3K rpm.

 

I would go with the GReddy turbo. More fun imo than nos.

 

turbo n20 is for kids who arent fast to begin with... poor kids

 

how kids with b16's with 80shot direct port
