need help with my ep3 si
i have a 2002 ep3 si the car has 190xxx miles on it but i have a full swap in my garage everything is absolutely stock...
i want to turbo the motor and do all the work to it before i drop it in the car.
what do i need for the motor and car if im thinking only about 9-12 lbs of boost
the turbo kit i have includesl:
T3/T4 Hybrid Turbo Charger
Intercooler
Universal turbo intercooler piping kit
RS Blow Off Valve
Type S/RS Flange Pipe
GT Series 38MM Wastegate
Oil Catch Tank
Mini Turbo Timer
Turbo Boost Controller
turbo Oil Return / Feeding Line Kit
not sure what i am missing and any suggestions as to what i should get so the motor will handle the boost better.

And to do that you will need something to tune with. And a boost gauge so you can set your boost controller. And its not a must but i always recommend putting in an aftermarket mls headgasket, such cometic or golden eagle, with some arp head studs. But thats just me.

Re: need help with my ep3 si
Engine? what engine swap? k20a3, a2, k24a1, a2, a4??
Stick with the OEM head gasket this is not a b series. OEM > Aftermarket. ARP headstuds and rod bolts. They are stronger than OEM.
Get K-Pro for sure. It can do everything right there through the ECU on a lap top.
Universal turbo piping kit??? All turbo manifolds are different so there is different piping. Go to a shop and get something fabbed or you are going to run into issues, or you might just half fast. Bad idea.
DONT GO EBAY!! You get what you pay for.
GOOD LUCK!

Re: need help with my ep3 si
you're tight on money I would suggest being patient and do things one step at the time.
Do your swap and then wait... save some money and go on from there!
No point doing things cheaply and quickly! Do it right or don't do it at all!
