I'm planning on installing the turbo in the picture on my D15B Civic.The turbo isn't big but since I'm turboing a 1.5L SOHC I don't want anything too big.Heres what I want to know:

1.Will I have to install any parts in my engine to be able to run the turbo without blowing my engine?

2.Whats is the spot for thats marked as 1 in the picture?

3.The spots marked as 2 in the picture are the oil lines right?And if so which one is in and out or does it matter?

4.What should I do about the piece that broke off in the spot marked as 3 and what is the thing called that the part broke off of?

5.Whats the line for thats marked as 4 in the picture?

6.Right now all I have is everything seen in the picture which is basically the turbo and manifold.What else will I need to install this turbo?Is a intercooler required?

 

Search and you can find all of those answers in 5 minutes. My advise... is youre gonna turbo your motor buy a complete kit especially if you dont know what your doing. Tha turbo looks like ****. Your gunna need alot more... piping, blow off valve, intercooler is required, etc. and you will need to tune it if you want to make any real power and hold it for very long. Do it right.

 

1. You can run a turbo setup on the stock block as long as its tuned. The limit on a stock D series is about 220-240whp...psi is irrelevent.

2. Spot #1 is the oil drain that drains oil back to the oil pan.

3. Spot(s) #2 are the OEM water lines to the turbo. I'd imagine this is a TD05 14b from an Eclipse. Those were put there to cool the turbo for added longevity. Most people merely cap them and run without any water cooling; although, it wouldnt be a bad idea to utilize them.

4. Spot #3 is the vacuum nipple on the stock wastegate. You're going to need that....Without it (or an external wastegate) the turbo will just keep spinning and producing boost. That's not something you want. i'm sure there's a way to either fix or replace it though.

5. Spot #4 is the oil feed line. Generally the feed line is run from a T off the oil pressure sender on the back of the block. If you need oil fittings for this setup (which i'm sure you do) PM Stealthmode62 and he'll get you setup.

6. An intercooler isn't required; however, it does reduce IAT's (intake air temps) which allows you to make more power safely. If you were feeding your engine hot air, you can't move a great volume without fear of detonation. With how cheap intercoolers are these days (even sidemounts), there's no reason not to run one.

...i hope this helps you figure out what you're doing. If you need more help, you should post in the Forced Induction forum

 

So how do you tune it?Is that something professionals should do on a dyno?So the water lines should just be routed to the radiator?And if so does in mater which way the water flows in and out of it?So since the turbo already has a wastegate,theres no need for another one?Whats detonation?

 

Man you're full of questions. You need to read up a little before jumping head first into a turbo setup...even a simple one. I'm going to move this to the Forced Induction forum because you'll get your questions answered in no time.

Look around and read a lot. I researched for almost a solid year before my first turbo setup. I suggest you do at least something...

 

I just want to make sure I have all my questions answered before I install it.My engine was only $400 but I still don't want to blow it lol.Thanks for the move,I would have but I don't know how to.

Anyone?

 

if u dont no how to tune it then yes a pro has to do it if u dont wanna pay for a dyno u can have them street tune it for less money..i wouldnt worry about the water lines..its internally gated so u dont need a external wastegate..detonation=motor goes BOOOOM

ull be able to answer alllll these questions on ur own if u use the search..its what it was made for

 

Ok thanks.One more question that I don't think I will find in the search.I know this turbo came off a Mitsubishi but I'm not sure which model.I think its from an eclipse but I'm not sure.Does anyone know if this manifold will bolt onto my D15B or will I have to drill new holes for it or what?

 

i was gonna saw doenst look like u have the right manifold haha buy a manifold for ur car then buy the adapter plate for the turbo

 

Where do I purchase those at?And the turbo turbine spins well but should I rebuild the turbo before I put it on anyway?
