Default hey all noob question about turbo

hello guys,

I have a question: what system would be the best for me?

I'll have a bone stock 1993-1995/6 Civic Hatchback and I'd like a turbo kit w/ intercooler and BOV

what system and how much boost won't hurt the engine? oh, BTW what's the best bang for the buck?

thanks in advance


noob V

"Budget" usually means custom, which means you build it yourself by piecing it together. Most people will go to a junkyard and pull a DSM turbo and try to find an intercooler. You'll have to fab up (or have fabbed) a custom manifold and downpipe and then find all of your charge and intercooler piping. It's a scavenger hunt but you could save thousands if you are handy. They are building kits over at Home Made Turbo all the time for less than a grand.

The thing is though, there is a learning curve and if you don't know about turbos, that curve can be really expensive in terms of blown motors. So...

Your choice. Someone once said- "Fast, cheap, reliable- pick two."

if you want boost cheap then get a decent setup non-ballbearing without an intercooler. It will be fine for low boost setups... but you will have to run premium gas (atleast 91 octane, 93 would be best).
