Hey just a few questions on turboing civics,
Greatful for any answers?

1, if you run a low boost such as 8-9psi can u run standard internals?

2, if you run the above spec on a t3 turbo or maybe even a t25 if it fits the manifold what bhp and torque should you expect on a 1.6civic coupe (1998)

3, what bolt flange is on the wrx turbo is it a 4 or 5?

4, What should you do to the fuel management/ecu if you run the above kit?

You see i am trying to prove that a civic can be turbo'd on a budget i am even going to test one of those dodgy looking turbo kits off fleabay! :P
thanks for any help you can give me,
Ben

 

i think someone on this site is testing one of those ssautochrome turbo kits. and 8psi is fine on stock internals. fuel managment should be a better, adjustable PCM, but for a budget kit you can use a missing link map sensor.

 

you should be able to run 9psi fine on the stock internals as long as you had it tuned right

i know 97civic is pretty much done with his turbo kit that he is testing aka the ssautochrome one

 

Cool great thanks guys, can i have some info on this missing link thingy lolol?, how much am i looking at for a remappable ecu? or something??? thanks again btw, can i havesomes msn addy who knows abit about turbos so i can pick theyre brains thanks!

 

ah found that missing link its only available from the usa but thats great,

 

try blox, they make some good missing links, you can get them at www.inlinefour.com

 

Omg that website is superb, very cheap aswell when you think about it when the dollars convert to Pounds sterling (good exchange rate) haha YEY! lol thanks you very much for your help!
