recently i bought a turbo for my car.. so far i have intercooler, intercooler pipes, blow off valve, t3/t4 turbo, turbo manifold, wastegate, oil lines, and BOV adapter pipe; cause the pipes dont have the BOV socket. i know im gonna need 440cc injectors, downpipe, and boost controller.. wat i really need help with is if im gonna need a computer or ECU to hook up to my car.. in order for the turbo to work... and by the way my cars automatic .... tell me wat you guys think... wat i should do, wat i need to do.. help me out

Wheres the rest of your charge pipeing?

That carpet has seen better days :D. But if that is all of your charge piping I am a tad concerned.

did you peice all that together? or buy a kit? just wondering

Thats got SSAUTOCHROME written all over it

My thoughts exactly....

Thirded

thats what i got.. i know im gonna need more. but at the moment the pipes dont concern me. wow u guys dont help out at all

Thats a garbage turbo kit. If you install that on your car its going to give you nothing but problems.

First of all you need to get rid of the auto transmission before you go turbo, it's hard to chip and work an auto ECU correctly, I'm not even sure myself how it's done. After that, your T3/T4 turbo at even 6-8psi may push upwards of ~200whp, your tranny is not going to respond well to that AT ALL.

Just think about it.

way to crush his dreams. soviet.... no, you could take it to a good tranny shop and have it race preped, that would take care of the power handling problem, but im not sure about setting shift points and what not...but id rather have a 5 speed myself, i hate autos... thats just my opinion.

^ I think the cost for that would be outrageous, in the thousands at least. That is, if you could find someone to do it for an automatic Honda.

Pete didnt seem to have any problem with his auto turbo... :eek:

i woudld never turbo an auto civic, My dad would kick my as$

I'm not crushing his dreams, you're solution alone would cost him stupid amounts of money. It would honestly be easier to just convert it to manual.;) And like I'm saying, I don't know how OR if he could correctly TUNE his setup, as it's difficult to use an auto ECU with a chip and still make it function correctly with the auto ECU.

You mean like how it blew up, lol. ;)

pete has an auto tranny? damn.

Had.

Because his stock oil pump took a dump. It had nothing to do with his auto tranny.

^ It was untuned too, and he was pushing 6psi out of a greddy kit. He just wasn't anywhere NEAR what that T3/T4 is going to move at the same psi. Just from what I've seen, the torque converters can hold about twice the power they're built for, which means around ~200whp is going to start putting some real stress on it. Not to mention, he's going to be making an ass load of torque that tranny has never seen before. Even IF the tranny will hold the power, that still doesn't take away the fact that it's very difficult to tune it correctly using an ECU and still staying within his budget.

Without a tune, he will inevitably and unarguably blow up that engine sooner than he would like to.

I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm just saying it's not reasonable. Automatic tranny repair is expensive as hell, he could EASILY convert that Dseries to manual with a little research and $150. I just don't think it's worth his salt to blow his engine, auto tranny, or god forbid... both!

Pete, Forty and Soviet, what is so bad about that kit? Just a simple question so i know what to look out for....


EDIT: And what should he do to his tranny (other than swap it to a manual)? Clutch, Flywheel, etc.?

Weak welds, cheap materials, etc..

A new clutch and flywheel is a good idea on a boosted car. How much power you're running, and what the car's primary purpose are going to be the deciding factors as to what type of clutch you want. ie, if you're driving your car daily, you do NOT want a friggin stage 3 in there :D

Ebay kits use poor steel that heats up dramatically more than the more expensive steels, they also have poor welds that like to crack, their turbo's have poor seals that tend to blow, and I've seen a few of the turbo shaftes destroy a housing. Sure, they're cheap, but when your engine sucks in a few fins it will not be as cheap!

As far as a tranny, LSD and a performance clutch. :)

I havea d16y7 turbo.When i over rev it at 3000rpm it releases pressure automatically through the blow of valve. after i reach 3000rpm the car keeps jerking and releasing pressure. i tried changing the boost withthe boost controller, but it does not go over than 8psi. Is it because the ecu is programmed to run a 8psi?Somebody please help

^ dood, this thread is like 2 years old. Start your new thread, thats a pretty specific question.
