Ok I have a 94 integra ls with 66 k miles on it. its a 5 speed tranny. I think I am going to go the turbo route. I was wondering if some one could list all the parts I need to buold up a turbo. Also what do I need to make it safe and a daily driver. I have I/C/E but i think i woul;d have to go to bigger exhaust piping because its only 21/4 inch piping. Also do I need any thing along with a urbo besides the basics like turbo timner, fuel injectors, boost gauge/controller. I already tried a search but didn't come up with much. Any infor would be great along with price estimates.

and the knowledge of knowing how to use the SEARCH function at the local Honta Tech.

u need 5 grand

 

try the forced induction forum.

 

you need alot of knowledge, a spare motor, the turbo kit, money, patience, maintnece, ect.

 

your definetly going to go broke.

I'm trying to look into FI (jrsc so far..but might be small turbo) and so far i've come up with a ton of things i'd like to do to run safe and happy in one shot.

For turbo you should have to consider

clutch
flywheel
injectors
fuel pump
tuning by hondata (do it right..)
colder plugs
msd would prob be nice
exhaust manifold
external wastegate
piping & fittings
intercooler
size of turbo - dependant on lag and boost requirements so learn to read a compressor chart

baffelled oil pan - not really necessary, but its to prevent oil starvation
oil catch can
blow off valve
turbo timer and compatible alarm system or knowledgeable installer
earls
air fuel, boost and oil pressure gauges
extra vaccum lines
tires!
2.5" exhaust, high flo cat

...that's all that I can think of, check the FI forum for more since they actually run turbo and I'm only trying to do my research.

good luck!

Before I had a turbo, I had a zero balance on my CC, now I have just about $15K. This included the turbo, built motor, and miscellaneous install charges for my friend who did all the work.

Granted I got new Rota Slipstreams, and OEM sideskirts, but everything else was for the motor.

Turbo is a money pit...it's great, but be prepared to go broke fast. It never ends. You might think turbo is the end all modification, but it isn't anywhere close to it.

I don't even have a standalone ECU yet, or stronger axles. I have a ghetto exhaust rigging and zip ties everywhere.

So umm.... TURBO =

 

It defenetly depends on your power goals,...
how many PSI or how much power are you looking for???
