Can i put a used t3/t4 .51 trim turbo on a high mileage d series motor until i rebuild the head? How much psi should i use?

 

You have a lot of research ahead it seems, but yes you can. Just keep it low psi (7 maybe), i would be more concerned with rebuilding the bottom end unless theres specific reasons.

 

i was running 12 stock on my car with a good tune . Now my motors built its not the head d series are concerned about its the bottom end get a good set of piston n rods. Up the boost then.

 

Read the Forced Induction FAQ. This is such a basic question...if you would have researched, you wouldnt even need to ask it.

 

ok, can i boost the motor is it has over 90,000 miles on it?

 

u can boost any motor. run low psi until you rebuild ur bottom end to hold more boost

 

do i need injectors, pistons, or fuel pump first?

 

dude you have not a clue what boosting needs... it obvious. its not just throw a turbo on and it runs. if you rebiult the bottom end it would be lower compression pistons, forged rods, new rings all that. without a rebuild on .51 trim turbo you couls probably run 6-8psi w/ a stock fuel pump but you will want around 400cc injectors. you dont base boosting a motor off PSI, you base it off your overall HP goal. with that d i wouldnt push it more then 200whp to be safe. use the red search button and you will learn and find out the info you want faster. these topics get old on this forum. JW what header will you run with the turbo?? front or side mount turbo?? just seeing how much he knows.

Lol. I think he was having a hard enough time before you threw in the wrong termanology ! When talking F.I., you should always use the word manifold instead of header. To the OP, you do have ALOT more searching to do before you even consider boost. Start in the Forced Induction FAQ's and then keep it rolling from there. Remember, Google is your friend

hahaha maaan i was messing with him. it just gets me flustered when people get on here w/o a clue and you can tell them anything and they beleive it. thought maybe id have fun. i know its a manifold and you cant mount it on the side by the intake. only up front.

 

For flippin' expletive's sake...

TURBO BASIC FAQ:

Firstly, an exhaust manifold comes from an NA motor, so you'll need a turbo manifold. They come in many forms, Ram horn, top mount, log manifold, etc... Log manifold is by far the cheapest and it spools really quickly -- plus it's quite reliable if build right the first time. Here's what else you'll need for your car:

Turbocharger: Pick which size and trim turbo is gonna work best for your application and goals. A regular T3 turbo is usually good for 250WHP, a t3/t4 up to 400WHP, and a t4 400+ WHP... I'd recommend a ball-bearing garrett turbo, a nicely sized t3/t4 turbo, not too large or too small TRIM/AR size.

Downpipe: Again must be custom for your turbo/manifold choice. A flex pipe and o2 bung are nice to have while creating a downpipe -- although not necessary.

Wastegate: Choose a wastegate size (also what psi spring you'd like to run) according to application such as amount of air flow and psi from turbo.. This is if you have a turbo that's externally wastegate powered..

Intercooler: Choose either a FMIC (Front Mount InterCooler) or Side Mount Intercooler. FMIC is the only way to go really for efficient cooling..

Blow off valve: This is actually an optional (but very recommended part). Doesnt really matter which one you choose. Pick a sound you like. Some people like to use ebay or cheap BOV's, but if it fails, you can hurt your turbo -- so don't really cheap out.

Fuel Management: One of the most important parts on your turbocharged car. I would highly suggest running a programmable chipped ecu or standalone device. I'd suggest Hondata or Crome..

Fuel Pump : You will probably need an upgraded fuel pump to support the added fuel consumption. Can be either internal or external -- I recommended the Walbro 2550LPH hi pressure fuel pump kit from injected-performance.com on H-T's marketplace for sponsors

Injectors : To support added air induction, more fuel is need... hence bigger injectors. Buy size according to application.

Map Sensor: Stock maps can only read up to ~10.63 psi, if you plan to go higher upgrade to a 2bar or 3bar map sensor.

Intercooler Piping: You can buy a ic piping kit, but usally will always take some modification to fit your exact application.. I believe ebay has some kits that have flanges made for the greddy BOV's for around $150 shipped

Couplers/t-bolts: You will need silicone couplers to bind the two intercooler pipes together as well as t-bolts -- I don't recommend screw clamps for anything other than for your intake pipes for your custom Short Ram

Oil drain/feed lines: Every turbo needs oil, so you must buy an oil feed and drain line kit. Stainless Steel lines are HIGHLY recommended. Rubber lines will get hot and can/will burst.

Vacuum Manifold: Not required but recommended to help organize vacuum lines and allow for good vacuum sources. I'd use Golden Eagle's Vacuum manifold.

Gauges: although not required, it's highly recommend so you can keep some status of motor operation. boost/oil pressure highly recommended

Spark plugs: Although not required, turbo temps can get high, so i recommend you step down two steps colder in your spark plugs. Also copper too.. You need NGK BKR7E.. For SOHC it's: ZFR7E-11 spark plugs..

I have a bunch of helpful links I submitted to the Honda Civic/Del Sol (1992-2000) forum FAQ:

I highly suggest reading a few!

 

some1 gave me a civic and im just bored, so im just gonna boost it wit some used parts. Im a domestic guy.
