turbo needs

[MattBlackEK]

okay so i have a 1997 honda civic ex and have ordered my turbo and intercooler kit, the turbo comes with wastegate, bov, injectors, piping you know the basic stuff, my real question is what else do I need to get, engine man., fuel delivery accessories, ignition upgrade and so on, I just don't want to have this turbo put on and not get all the performance out of it due to a couple simple missing links. any information would be greatly appreciated!

thanks,
Mattblackek

your going to need a better fuel management......so if i were you i would get a chipped ecu from pgmi.org and have it dyno tuned(the best way) or tune it ur self with crome.......what injectors does it come with? what kit? details////

you're going to need a good turbo manifold, and a downpipe matched to your setup for starters...

convert to obd1 and run a chipped p05/p06 converted to vtec, as for ignition use stock. stock Honda ignition is good for 400+hp

i also highly recommend running a wideband

Hey not trying to jack the thread but, what about timming retarding? Is that an issue with boost?

that can be taken care of with a rom editor and a chipped ecu

why do that when he can get a chipped p28 and a obd2a to obd1 conversion harness for 225 shipped from a sponser on this site?

could do that too, thats a decent price.

but if you take your time and browse forum classifieds, you can get better deals than that. i managed to pick up my chipped p06 converted to p28 for $100 just because i was patient. and the obd2-obd1 harness' are only like $75

but if you are looking to get it done asap, that deal through the sponsor is pretty damn good
