Okay, I have a 2000 civic si and wanting to turbo. Thinking about getting a TN400 turbo from turbonetics. I'm goin to upgrade injectors, fuel pump, cam gears, header, I have exhaust, BOV/WG, intercooler, and hondata s300. I'm pretty sure that will support that turbo. My only question is with the hondata, I know my ecu is OBD2 and I need OBD1 i think for hondata to hook up to. Basically my questions are just with the ecu and hondata, any helps appreciated

Get an OBD2 to ODB1 conversion harness, put the Hondata in a P28 ECU.

P06 works just as well also


and you dont need a header if you are going turbo, you need a turbo manifold

who ever is tuning the car ask them which they prefer- hondata,ectune or crome, there is no need to spend $600+ on a hondata setup if your tuner likes crome pro or ectune. check out xenocron.com for ecu's, they have a selection and include a free basemap if you request it. i think i paid $180 for a chipped p28 ecu with a basemap for my turbo setup

what size injectors?
what is your power goal?
use either a walboro 190 or 255 personally i would use 255
if your going to upgrade the cam gears then you might as well upgrade the cams, but if you go over stage 1 then you have to upgrade the valvetrain

Don't really have a goal.. I'm just going with the flow whenever I feel like stopping. And on this horsepower to injector calculator it said at 250hp to have 440 injectors. Idk if that's right

Glad to see you've done your research a bit!
MC360 is right, ask whoever you're going to have tune your car what type of tune they prefer. Many prefer Hondata or Neptune, though. If you do go Hondata, the s300 is the way to go. The information to get it working that was posted here is spot on.
If you plan on going over 250hp, I would recommend bottom end work. Rods, pistons, rod pins, sleeve/block guard etc. That's when you start getting into big bucks though.

Around 250 was prolly where I was heading. I honestly don't have the cash flow for bottom end work so I won't be going too high in hp
