TURBO is on it's way

2k2civic · 03-04-2002

I spoke to my guy today and he told me that the manifold is complete, the turbos are stocked, and all that is left is the downpipe and charge pipes. Also, for all you people who don't know much about turbos, I recommend you read up on it - I would suggest turbo timer, some kind of fuel management (preferably standalone), A/F gauge, boost gauge, etc. Turbocharging isn't all THAT easy.

Turbo Timer is the most important thing u need for your turbo....A/F Gauge, naw, u can get it tested when u do DYNO so not that big deal....BOOST, OIL Temperature, & WATER Temperature, u need those too...

Someone who works for a company out in Arizona that specializes in custom turbo setups. I contacted him after reading one of his posts on the www.honda-tech.com forums. I'll let you know when it's ready to ship.

Hey bro, I'd like to know what's being done to eliminate lag if you have that info cuz if u got that in check then with a decent R/T a 2 flat in the 60' is possible at the track...

not trying to hate, but we will beleive it when we see it. Otherwise, you could just post anything you wanted to and we wouldnt know if you were telling the truth or not.

does the standalone fuel management system take care of the returnless fuel system problem we have...or are you just running 3-4 psi???

yea..right...an air fuel gauge is the second most important gauge for a turbo..next would be an EGT gauge/probe...
sheesh..water temp....yeah..you need water temp but not air/fuel...blah...

and no the most important thing is NOT a turbo timer..yes it's a good thing to have...but not necessary...I have 140,000 miles on an orignal turbo..and no turbo timer...just make sur eyou let your car idle a bit before shutting it down...
