o ok well i heard it from a kid at school. but o well you learn something new every day. just for information, a smaller, faster spooling turbo give you more torque right, cuz i know a big turbo doesn't spool up until a high rpm.

 

word of advice dont believe kids talking.LOL look for the real people with turbos and read up...
and dont believe anyone that doesnt have a turbo or a few turbo setups. anybody can slap a ebay turbo on a car and talk there sh**.... at least until it blows there motor up.LOL

 

yea i should have known cuz his civic looks and runs like ****. i can see how his logic is though. but thank you for the info anyway.

 

hope you weren't talking about me there, lol.

but my bad on the misleading post, i meant to only highlight the vtec+boost portion. If you have a tuner that's worth anything, he can extract what the motor can give, regardless of vtec or not. there are too many factors to list to show what sacrifices torque, so the kid has no argument.

 

no not you.LOL

 

Yea, there are plenty of built and boosted GSR and Y8/Z6/D15B etc motors that make decent power and if you and your tuner know what youre doing, having vtec isnt really a big issue at all, not like you can ever hear the crossover at 5500 anyway

 

well im not exactly a turbo specialist, but I can tell you that when I had my 180sx with a larger upgraded turbo then the stock t25, It did take longer for it to spool up and without a tune there was quite a bit of lag, but when it hit watch out because it will hit hard and all at once. Im not sure I think I had a gt2871r it was good for about 480hp setup.

 

So who wants an HCF DIY turbo install including parts list/prices

 

Based on the number of hits on your thread, many members would be interested.

 

idk if there still is but there was an old turbo install DIY, and Pete's turbo grocery list was there at one point, so is Tony's "what you might wanna know", so i guess a combination of that might be helpful lol
