Turbo Question

[JA7]

i got a 98 civic lx AUTOMATIC and its probably alot slower than you can imagine but i heard you can put a turbo right on it and it will go a little faster. but i dont really know engines good so i dont know what to do about getting a turbo like is there any certain kind i should get and if there are any modifications needed to put one on so let me know

the ricer in me wants to help you since you dont know s**t about a turbo. ill fill you in a little bit on what you need to make it work. basically youre going to need approximately $2000 in parts and tuning. heres a list of the things you will with their approximate price. im not going to tell you what the parts do, just know that you need them. i recommend that you do the research to find out what each part does and why you need it.

turbo ~ $350
turbo manifold ~ $200
wastegate ~ $150 (depends on turbo)
downpipe ~ $100
chargepipes ~$100 (depending on if you do it yourself or not)
intercooler ~ $200 (not needed but highly recommended)
bov ~ $100 (not needed but highly recommended)
fuel management ~ $200-$600 (depending on how you do it)

fuel management is key to any setup, but i wont tell you the different types or which is better, or how to do it. research is the only way youre going to keep from blowing your motor up. there are many different types of everything i listed up there, the way you do it is up to you. forced induction is no joke, if you skimp on something its going to kick your ass later.

see thats what im talking about you could have said that the first time that is very helpful. i am a ricer i guess but the whole thing is i dont want to try to make my car to a street racing car cuz its an lx and im putting on all this stuff like rims, body kit, a system and lambo hinges, a little turbo on the engine and selling it to get this 5 speed si. but i appreciate all that you told me man
