Introducing myself and asking some questions

[dillon_mallery]

Hey everybody as you can tell im new to the forum and am on here to see whats going on in the civic world and maybe learn a thing or two.
I am 18 and I recently got a civic from my brother since he got a new truck. I've never really been into civics all too much but having this one has really changed a lot about how I think of them. The civic is a black 1992 eg hatch. Although it needs quite a bit of exterior work (got backed into twice/ somebody keyed the f word in the hood lol) its not too bad since I have a fender and door. Last summer me and my brother swapped a b18c1 in it. The motor had been port and polished. We also put some skunk2 parts on there including: intake manifold, intake, and short shifter Also we put on some dc headers, and some cheap ebay exhaust on it lol. The car has just about every bit of suspension done to it. Also I have some black 5 spoke 17's for it but am waiting for the summer to put them back on. My brother was planning on putting a turbo on and after falling in love with the car I have decided to continue with those plans. I already have headers, wastegate, turbo, and down pipe. But I also have some questions. The turbo that I have is a t70, I feel like that is too big and may not spool as fast as i would like. And also I was going to get 550cc injectors but was thinking about going bigger. Any suggestions on the turbo/injectors?

What do you plan to tune it with? depending on the boost levels you want you may just be able to use blue top dsmn;s.

I would like to run about 14 or 15 lbs of boost. And there is a company in st louis that tunes hondas so i will just have them mess with the tuning and tell me what i need to get for it

You can't solely rely on a shop to tell you what you need. You also need to research yourself so you can have an idea of what you need.

Agreed also what is the Brand and specs on the turbo and the rest of the kit. You still need alot of stuff if all you have is the turbo wastegate and down pipe. Also by headers do you mean header as you only have one or do you mean turbo manifold?

I know everything that I need to get. The wastegate is a Tial f38 and the turbo manifold and the down pipe are custom. And my brother still has the turbo with him so I dont know what the specs are on it quite yet. He just said it was a t70 and thats it
