dumb question

[civic96hb]

Is it possible to take off a turbo on a car? Like if you buy a car thats been turboed, and
it wasnt built right. I know nothing about turbos btw

 

[BobbyT5408]

yeah but ull need stock exhaust, stock injectors, stock ecu (untuned), stock intake, and your gonna have to do something witht the oil pan because its tapped for a return line

sure ....all turbos are universal.....you just have to find the right flange for the exhaust manifold to bolt up

Cause I saw this craigslist post and I was considering it. Im kinda on the fence about buying already turbod cars

i wouldnt buy a turob'd car because you never know how bad they beat on it, and if they built it right

 

[TiiM iiS l3eAsT]

not all turbos are universal.

SRT4 stock turbo
so its not universal.

wow weird.....but sure if you make a flange that will bolt up to the manifold then sure it will work

even that or modify the manifold to make it fit the civic head

yea thats what I was thinking. he wanted to trade me straight up, an I was just curious why he wanted to go from a turbo teg to a auto civic

 

[TiiM iiS l3eAsT]

maybe if it was a built motor....but if its stock then hell no

if he is wanting to trade all the work and money for a auto civic, then something is wrong or he is a dumbass, something is prolly about to blow and he wants to get rid of it asap
