d series turbo

[DrRandall]

I was browsing through ebay and saw a turbo kit for ridiculously cheap, around 500 bucks. It's for a d series honda. It made me want to buy an old beater civic and slap it on there an make a sleeper. How much boost can the overseen d series handle? I know some guys fun their 4age toyota at 12+ psi at 9.5:1 compression all day long with no trouble.

Sure the kit was cheap, but the tig welds looked extremely good, all the hardware was included.

the tune is the most important part, and the ebay kits come with NO fuel management

Thats exactly what I want to do after I get my setup on this gsr motor.

Old 4-door with a turbo will be NICE on the streets. Oh and no tune... too much money for a beater... FMU and 8-psi and see how long it holds...

What if I upgraded the fuel pump, larger injectors, backed off the timing?

 

[jason_guy_yeah]

Unfortuanatly that still wouldn't work too well because, the ecu isn't accomadated for boost. It doesn't have the right fuel and timming tables. The base maps (stock tables) would run the a/f too lean = detonation.

Exactly how could I tune it w/out getting a piggyback system? I'm sure there are "chips" out there, but wouldn't suit what i needed and most are gimmicks anyway.

you need to ahev it tuned on a dyno, with a chipped ECU, there is no prest chip for your car.

The "chips" that we talk about are not the "oh yea I got a chip" chips. They are merely a empty piece that you put into the computer and you can download maps onto via a laptop. COMPLETELY CUSTOM MAPS FOR YOU CAR ONLY.

most likley that mani is crap, but most will brace it so it doesn't brake/crack, or last a while before it does.
the turbo is prolly a ching chong meow turbo. it will prolly last a little while, but when it does go, you can send it to blaast performance and they will rebuild it with garret internals

and how much boost is not the question, the question is how much hp. cfm is different between turbo's so one will flow more cfm at 10psi than another. easiest way for fuel management, and the cheapest, is to get a rom burner and crome(and chip your ecu) and bigger injectors. there you go


SPOON FED!!!
