Custom Turbo Question?

SlimChucks · 11-23-2008, 01:35 AM

aight, I looked and couldn't find anything beside one article where a guy custom made his own piping. No there are all the parts seperate I was doing my research Pipe Kits, manifolds, etc... i would like to know if anyone has vetured that way instead of buyinjg a kit? I do realize that it might be cheaoer in the long run to buy a kit but I might jsut buy parts at a time and just do a big install over a week. Thanks

i was wondering if i can just get the turbo and put it on the car? everythine else leave out? like the fuel injector and intercooler and fuel injector controller etc

i am no expert with turbos, but im pretty sure you need an intercooler, an intake manifold with some kind of flange? to bolt the turbo to. Then you definatley need some kind of control over the ecu to compensate for the extra fuel and air needed?

so no you can't just get a turbo

LOL @ this question. Absolutely not.

You will need:
Turbo
Turbo Manifold
Custom Downpipe
Intercooler
Custom made pipes
Fuel Controller
ECU
Turbo Timer (not completely necessary)
Some sort of management system

yea no bolt on direct turbo.

07gen8Civic · 11-24-2008, 05:03 PM

Oh lol, i was trying to figure that out.

besides that. If you asking these questions, as others have said to me numerous times before, you really cant have a custom turbo, it just doesnt work unless u feel like blowing up ure car lol.

If your asking these questions you have no business piecing together a custom turbo. Trying to save a buck will in the long run cost you 2-3 times more (depending on how much damage you do to your engine). Save your money/get a better job and buy a kit. I hope your kidding Ray.

It's very possible to put together a "custom" kit, but do your homework.
