why do you have to laugh? His orignial post is better than saying "i wanna turbo my Civic! how do i do it?". This might help too....except ignore the Missing Link, go with Forty's chipped ECU idea in Fiirkan's link.

Just a heads up, be ready to replace the axles after a few months. My passenger side axle went out after the first 2 months of being boosted and my driver side when out after 5 months[&:]  You can  buy beefer axle's or just buy the stock axle from autozone's or kragen's which have lifetime warranty.[:)][:D]

lol ha ha i have almost everything u listed already. i just didint list all the little things prolly should have.  i know what im doing pretty much.  some of u might remember me from about 3-4 months ago when i was on here.  thats when i started doing my reasearch and got my basic turbo kit stuff. and i havent installed it yet so obviously im not one of those just throw it on there kind of guys.  i want a reliable safe and especiallly fast honda

FlipHKD720 -> RE: turbo checklist (5/5/2008 1:05:36 PM)

well if oyu want a reliable turbocharged Honda, don't skip out on the tune. Thast the most important part of the whole turbocharging setup, and it is the biggest factor in deciding if your car will blow your engine or be a reliable DD. Take it to a dyno, get it professionally tuned, and you'll be set. OBD1 chip/tune ftw!

nik005 -> RE: turbo checklist (5/5/2008 1:56:10 PM)

i plan on getting the tuning done in its entirety by beeyond engineering in milwaukee wisconsin on there dyno.  anyone know if these guys do good work

FlipHKD720 -> RE: turbo checklist (5/5/2008 6:27:55 PM)

^ actually i might end up going there myself. I'm from Upper Michigan, i've only heard good things about them. Only thing that sucks is that their website is super outdated [&:]

nik005 -> RE: turbo checklist (5/6/2008 10:55:16 AM)

ya i know. i went on there like 6 months ago when i started this build and it was exactly the same. but when i emailed them they responded quickly. they said it would cost about 400 bucks for a complte tune using crome just to let u know
