Does anyone know what websites carry turbochargers only(for Hondas/Acuras)not the kits im gonna start to piece one together myself. Also any recommendations for a Turbocharger that is about 8 PSI

 

I was also looking at the greddy bolt on kit... is it any good, i have heard mixed reviews

 

Do you mean turbos that are made by honda/acura? I don't think there are any, most turbo kits that you buy and they kits people put together either use dsm volvo or garrett turbos. I think that a lot of the turbos with internal wastegates are set at 5 to maybe 8 psi. Either find one of them or get an external gate but don't base your goals on psi, go for a realistic hp goal because different turbos will make different amounts of power on the same psi due to size. Greddy kit is fine but you will need to buy an intercooler and blow off valve plus don't use the greddy e-manage, get your ecu chipped and then dyno/street tuned by a professional tuner.

Edit: After reading your name I'm gonna go ahead and guess you have a 7th gen. You have three choices; get an fmu oruse the emanage or get a stand alone system likeAEM EMS, which is the best thing to do but it is exspensive. You would be better off swaping that engine for a k20.

 

Turbocharger is a turbocharger.

www.vsracing.com is where I got mine.

 

found mine from a private classifieds from a guy at www.homemadeturbo.com , its internally gated at 7 PSI, its a VJ11 out of a Probe/Mazda

Check HomeMadeTurbo, also www.turbod16.com, www.clubcivic.com, and of course www.ebay.com, but watch out for bad quality stuff off of ebay. And you can also look around here in the classfiieds, some stuff might come up

 

id go with a t3/t04e you can get them for 575 shipped at rogueusa.com or upgrade it to the bb like me for 975 shipped

they will get you about 220 whp out of 8psi and that will be pretty sweet

 

Yeah i have the 7th Gen but its in excellent condition and im gonna sell it to get a better car with maybe a K20 like the Si or an RSX-S i havent decided the acura would be sweet. i checked out a few of those websites and my next big question would be how would you determine the trim? Im not completely turbo saavy yet but i hope to get there before i make my purchase

 

Also on the turbo chargers there are other things that caught my eye, like turbine .48 A/R.. whats that? and how would you decide one a four bolter or a five?

 

7th gen? Good luck on tuning. If you are actually going to turbocharge your car, you're going to need to tune your ECU, and 7th gens cant convert back to OBD1, so your options are either piggy-back or stand alone. Piggy back only adjusts A/F ratio (althoguh AEM makes an ignition one as well), and stand alone (like the AEM EMS) are gonna run you about a $1000.

 

Is it worth the extra 400 somethin dollars to upgrade a turbocharger to the bb? and do you think it makes a huge difference in the time it takes to spool up?
