ok i might sound stupid, but this is my first time boosting. its a 95 coupe with a d16

i purchased all parts i need for a boost (intercooler, piping, turbocharger, bov, turbo mani, wastegate, downpipe, oil feed lines and vacuum lines, and a fmu)

do i need a new intake mani?
do i need a new radiator?
can i drive with kit on and not boost, to save gas (like push all the exhaust out through the wastegate)?

 

This is probably better covered in the forced induction forum. But to answer some of your questions, no need for a new intake manifold or radiator. The only way to not be in boost is to keep your foot off the gas pedal.

 

1.no 2.no and 3. if you really want to sure. but why put it on and not use it? if your easy driving you can still get good milage

you will still get good gas milage if it is tuned well and if you stay out of boost until you really wanna go. considering your turbo wont spool til probaly 4-4500 rpm it shouldnt be hard

 

It's a honda... You'll always get good gas mileage... Why boost a d16 though? And what size turbo are you running, if you know, someone can tell you aprox. when you'll hit boost.

Damn honda kids...

 

ok well what all is to tuning? i have an OBX fuel management unit. do i need new injectors? what about tuning as far as the ecu?

its suppost to boost around 3500-4000 rpms. its a t3/t4 to4e with a .50 A/R compressor and .63 A/R turbine.
