well, i did a search on this forum, and someone had a link for a basic civic/teg turbo build, it didn't sound to hard....
as far as the turbo i would run.....we have like 3-4 turbo engines sitting in my garage, 1 turbo is still in good condition and the others are shot, but i have all the piping, and i can very easily buy a turbo timer, and boost controller from my bro, and maybe find the intake manifold off a teg, or on for a civic, pretty much like the one used on the link i found...infact he also has an intercooler off of a ....i think newer model rx-7/or a saab....
i have just about ever part, i just need to get the engine right now rigged to handle some nice , but conservative boost #'s (around 10psi)
from doing research on a turbo build for my 1991 ford escort, i found out i can run stock boost of a exp/cosworth which in the exp is about 7-10...
the only hard part is finding all the pieces. but than again it's a different kind of car, and there's not a lot of after market upgrades for an escort....
so here's what i have:
-turbo w/ downpipe and flange
- intercooler
-turbo timer
-boost controller
-and it's possible to use the oil supply lines of the 300zx turbo engine manifold w/ some minor tweaking of the length and what not
here's what i'd need:
-piping
-intake manifold
-fpr
-fmu
-blow-off valve
-and the free flowing exhaust.... which of course would be put on sometime after i get the car completed by the end of my senior yr..
i basically have the months of sept--------sept of '04 to complete the car, it's very possible, i have nicely paying job, so money isn't a problem, until i find out where i'm going to college, and what not.....it's not like i won't have a car to drive me around, my family owns about 11 cars, including mine and my older bro's 2-3 cars.......
now the only problem for me would be scrounging up everything i would need to accomplish my goal of running turbo on a stock integra engine...so, i don't know how much traffic is on these forums, but does anyone know/or have knowledge of turbos, and turbo set-ups? can anyone give me a hand w/ find websites, i know i'm asking alot, but i really only have access to a computer during my lunch break at school, which i'm spending on the board getting better knowledge of the import scene......
so if anyone can give me a hand, and maybe shed so light on my predicament, i would really appreciate it
thanks again one and all,
Eric
