I will be turboing my ITR in the next month or two I have been searching every post that I can find and I have came up with two solutions. The first one is go with Full Race Kit or go Custom

Custom Kit includes:
Here is a little list I put together:
* Turbo (I recommend Precision SC50...that's what I'm getting!)
* Turbo Exhaust Manifold (Inline Pro, Full-Race, Lovefab)
* Wastegate (TiAL 38mm)
* Blowoff valve (HKS SSQV, Tial, Blitz DD)
* Intercooler (Precision, Spearco, PWR)
* Intercooler piping (InlinePro, REVHard)
* Downpipe (3" Custom)
* Vacuum lines
* Hoses
* Clamps
* Tee's
* Oil feed line (Flamenco-T on HT)
* Oil return line (Flamenco-T on HT)
* Vacuum manifold (You can get one from McMasterCarr)
* Bigger Injectors (Precision 525cc or RC550cc)
* Fuel Management (Hondata s200b)
* OBD-II to OBD-I conversion harness

* Fuel pump (Walbro 255lph hp)
* Oil Catch can (not needed, but recommended)

* NGK spark plugs (NGK7E)


<U>The only thing that I have not found an answer to is do I need to change my radiator?????</U>


I will be keeping my AC and power steering.

Reason for keeping AC is it gets hotter then Hell in the summer time. and with the HONDATA it will turn the AC off when it gets to a certain throttle point.

<U>The only thing that I have not found an answer to is do I need to change my radiator?????</U>

 

i still have my stock one,i have no problems with over heating, i run a 50/50 mixture and 1 container of reline water wetter. i just had to put a flex-alite fan on the other side for clearance with the turbo. if your gonna run a/c you'll probably need two fans

 

You might want to.... overheating can be a problem, and without a good radiator it could cause you a problem as well.....

you don't have to though. they are cheap... 300 or so.

 

300 is a grip why dont u just get the stock automatic radiader it is dual core to help cool the tranny

 

i run stock one.. you should be fine for daily driving. i did have to replace passenger radiator fan for clearance.

 

Stock radiator will be fine up too around mid 400. I did a custom kit as well but if I could go back i would prob do a Full race kit.

 

depending on the manifold you choose, you might have no choice b/c of the lack of room, so if you pick lovefab or fullrace, u'll have to pick up a civic one so u can fit the manifold

 

thanks for the info.

any other thoughts?

 

Get a Lovefab sidewinder and keep your stock radiator.

I was looking at that one but was unsure if I could keep my stock radiator or have to get a Civic one. If I do go with the Lovefab will I still be able to keep my AC?

Thanks for the help!!

 

With that sidewinder you would be able to keep all that fun stuff......

Thanks.... That was the answer I was looking for. Looks like I am getting the sidewinder. are there any more other parts on the rest of the kit that I have put together these lats two months by looking all over HT for information on custom set ups that any of you would change.

 

i kept my stock radiator for a while, i only swapped it out cuz it got messed up from this F'ed up dump tube i had for a little.

 

Thanks for all of the help that every one is giving me if any one has any other information that I might need on making the direction the turbo set for my ITR please let me know. All of the information is listed above so if you see something that I might need to change let me know.


THANKS ALL

if you daily drive, get inline pro, it won't fall apart and great quality log style manifold.

 

I have the sindwinder on my ITR. Unless he has changed the design you will not be able to get 2 fans in there. The turbo nearly touches the radiator. You will have to mount a pusher fan somehow if you want 2 fans. I am just using one fan and a Fluidyne radiator.
Also you will have to wrap the header or make a heat shield for it cause it puts off so much heat that you will over heat and bake off the paint on the hood.

some things to consider....
