I have got parts comming in the mail to turbo charge the car listed in the title. This is my first ever turbo setup and i have purchased all the parts i need ( i think ). What I've got is a Apexi VAFC, T3 Garret turbo, manifold, wastegate, blow off valve, manual boost controller, front mount intercooler, boost and afc guages, and alot of 3" silicone hose, clamps, reducers, etc. to hook it all up. I plan on having my local muffler shop make me a 3" downpipe and open my exhaust up to 3" all the way back to a strait through muffler. My question is am i forgetting anything? and also since this is my first attempt at turbo charging a car i wanted to make sure that i lay out all the parts and install them correctly. Thanx for any help in advance.

 

oil feed and return lines,missing link map bypass,and i would highly suggest a new fuel pump..

 

the CX engine will fail long b4 the fuel pump runs out of flow. The fuel pump is no where near the weakest link here.

 

missing link map bypass. i am clueless as to what this is. as for the oil feed andreturn linus where can i get a good deal on those or should i have soome made? also is there any way around taping the oil pan.

 

For the Oil lines..look in the Honda Tech Sponsor section-->Forced induction forum and you will find some good deals on oil feed and oil return lines.

Missing link is a piece you put between the Throttle body and the Map sensor to trick the ECU into not registering Boost after 11-12PSI or it will light your Check engine ligh and the car will run like poopie poopie..

Id suggest you pick up some DSM blue top injectors(450CC's) since you have an APEX VAFC to control them.

 

oh ok, well i'm not planning on running more than 10 psi to the motor, i'm going to turn it down to about 8 psi for the time being anyway so i shouldnt need the missing link should i?

How do you plan on controling fuel? FMU or EMS?
If you run an FMU you WILL need the check valve.

 

I got the APEXi VAFC to controll the fuel

 

Also how immportant is it to have a block guard?

i agree the engine will go first...but is that same fuel pump going to pump the needed amount of fuel for turbo?..no..he is going to upgrade his injectors.
