I just bought a turbo from a mitsu and i need to know everything.. LOL like if i can even put it on my car. 1993 honda civic dx d15b7. how many PSI i will need to run without rebuilding. I NEED TO KNOW EVERY THING...

I believe that's TD05-12A, which is a smaaaaallll turbo (but it'll be good on a Civic, if you can get it installed right.) They can hold their own until about 14 or 15 psi, so if you've got a built motor (or are going for a build) and want to run higher boost, you're going to need something else. The good news is, it'll spool mad fast; the turbine wheel is so much bigger than the compressor wheel that it'll throw it around no problem. The bad news is, I've never heard of anyone installing one on a Civic. Here's why: Starions were RWD (longitudinally mounted engine), with the turbo situated on the passenger's side. This means that the compressor was located on the frontside of the turbo setup (and to the front of the car) so the intake could feed directly into it. What this means is, if you were to try and line this up with a Civic engine (laterally mounted), you would find that the compressor will be on the driver's side of the setup, which means you'll need some fancy charge and intake pipe routing to make it work...

 

have good luck i hope it works out for you.

 

FYI this is a Starion, i didnt know what one looked like till my trip to the junk yard, its a cool lookin car....

Yeah, no one really knows about them. I think they'd be good drift material myself...

LMAO! That one in the picture has a lot of spare tires on it...

 

there are a few of those running around town here. i like starions a lot. though i think a 4g63 would be in order.

 

Well of course... but that would be a tricky adaptation.

 

allright mister f20c in a civic. or mister RB26 in a s14. or mister.......

 

Well, at least for those, the RWD drivetrain already EXISTS... I don't know anyone who makes a RWD tranny and driveline for a 4G63.

 

true. custom bellhousing or something.
