Default turbo 5th gen

i have a 5th gen accord w/ the stock 4 cylinder...im lookin to upgrade to an h22, but in the meantime, my friend is givin me a good price on his 95 eclipse turbocharger and downpipe.

i know this wouldnt be an easy install, but can anybody tell me how attainable this is, and if so, how much would it cost me

you need a lot of other things too but if you can get a manifold, you can build yourself a kit from scratch, id say go for it, its what im planning to do . . .

just get a compression test first and see if your motor can hold the boost

hahaha!! -- good ****ing luck with that.

Also for the turbo set up that is somewhat reasonable to do you need a BOV, Intercooler, Piping, Bigger Injectors, something to fool the ECU and wastegate.

Why did you take off your turbo kit on your H22?

I hope you DO ALOT of research before you do this project, building a kit from scratch requires some knowledge.

You are forgetting like TJ said, a intercooler, piping, BOV, Injectors, Fuel Setup, SAFC, dyno tuning, and other various money areas.

And Turbo Headers DO NOT EXIST
