new turbo set up

[eg-gsr]

Hey guys need some input on my build, I got a 92 civic hatch with a gsr stock with different bearings pistons and valve springs, now I wanna do a turbo setup but not sure where to start what parts etc. I wanna use it for daily driving so around 8 normally but don't want nothing to happen if I turn it up to max maybe 15 psi. Just lookin for input on a motor build and turbo setup and some ecu solutions. Just wanna get an idea don't wanna spend a fortune on it.

It has a TON of information, and even discusses what motors are the best. It's a little outdated, so no information on K motors, but gets the job done!

First thing: Set a budget. Stick to it. Don't forget to set $500 aside for tuning. Tuning will be THE MOST important part of your setup.

Next: Set a realistic power goal based on your budget. Research what you think you need. Then research more. And always remember the golden rule: Fast, Cheap, Reliable. Pick two of them. The third one will never apply to your car.

Good luck!

Yikes lol never do that

And cheaping out is something you don't want to do with a turbo setup. Like they said before research and set a reasonable goal and DONT FORGET TO TUNE IT
