:dunno: I have a 97 Ex and my boyfriend wants to know how much it would be to turbo it and if there even is a turbo for my year. He hasnt been able to find anything for the 97 EX's....any help??

 

do you want to know the power gains or the cost?

 

i believe you have a few choices. However, take into consideration the mileage on the car, how hard its been driving and going to be drivin, and if your stock internals can handle the turbo. Alot of people use the greddy turbo because its fairly priced and has decent gains.

 

yeah rev hard makes em there like $3,000 and that includes the intercooler, also GReady makes em to but there like 3,500 with no intercooler.

 

o yeah and on stok internals you can handle like 6 or 7 psi, p.s. sorry i spelled greddy wrong

 

aahh your boyfriend wants too hook up your car...thats a :nono: i think if YOU want it then YOU should get it. yeah i would get the revhard b/c its cheaper and comes w/ everything.

 

no, my boyfriend doesnt want to hook it up...im getting tired of only going 20 up hills (its an auto, btw)...he has his own car to hook up....he was just helping.
anyway, i'd probably go for greddy, if i even do it...how many hp would i gain?? and is it even worth it?

 

i wouldnt do it in a auto..but thats just me...in a manual drive, 5/6 lbs of boost w/ no intercooler hp would be 140 and pretty much the same w/ torque so this would be less in an automatic

 

I dont know about turbo but the JRSC put 140hp. BTW they had the stock engine goin at 102hp. The thing about JR is you need like 3500 for the setup, the turbo is better imo

 

First i'd get a level 10 torque convertor cause you're auto won't last long at all....Greddy makes the turbo kit for your car but the intercooler is seperate, Drag gen 3 also makes one, FMAX, and REVHARD also make kits for the EX's. I would stick with greddy though cause the drag, fmax, and revhards all use a t3/t4 and it takes FOREVER to spool up on a small EX motor. I am going to turbo my 00 ex next weekend. I'm just waiting for my fuel management....BTW i got an Apexi ball bearing turbo, it's supposed to hit full boost by 2800.

If you are interested i can get the Greddy kit for 1550+shipping brand new. That is probably the easiest and best designed kit for your car...the Apex is probably the only one that is better but it doesn't come with anything besides the piping, manifold and turbo so i'd stay away from it...plus it's expensive.
