Ok I am putting my turbo in my 96 civic soon and I was thinking what internal mods should I do??

What do you all suggest I would like to be able to boost as high as possible at least 13-15 psi and don’t want to blow the motor? Money is not really a problem I do want good quality parts. So if you all could recommend or list what you know to be good I would appreciate it.

I know I shouls replace the cam shaft, valves, springs....ect...

and web sites would be good

Thanks

 

Slevee the block maube and forged bottom end. That's the first thing that comes to mind.

 

first of all, you registered that name 8 months ago and are just now putting the turbo on :screwy:

 

sleeved block, forged rods, lower compression pistons
good thing money is no object, because those arent cheap

 

block guard, sleeved block, low compression forged pistons, forged rods. you might want to work on the valve train while youre at it, new vavles, valve springs, titanium retainers, port and polish head, turbo cam or cams(depending on motor you have), ignition system, i recommend MSD the one with timing retard, and boost controller, i think thats it

 

:werd: No need to replace the cams or valve springs. Unless you want to rev higher, just build the bottom end.

 

and ARP head studs so you wont blow the head off

 

and deep pockets

 

I know that looks funny but I hada different user name and changed it 2 weeks ago when I bought the turbo.


Thanks for all the replies now i'll have to spend too much money but it will be fun.

 

block guard isn't necessary. I asked the machine shop when I was building my motor and they said it would hurt cooling more than it would help strength for a street/strip motor.

You really don't need to resleeve either, unless your stock sleeves are jacked up...

You definitely need new rods and lower compression pistons with some good rings. Also consider balancing the bottom end, that's a really good way to help it run more smoothly and rev higher safely.

HIH.
