Howdy, I read the newbie faq and all that good stuff. Just going out to the junkyard tommorow and wondering if anyone has any other tips to offer.

I'm piecing together a kit for a Civic w/ a D15B7 and was thinking that the TE04H looked awfully nice. But i'm still not quite sure, are there any you guys think will be better for the job?

Thanks in advance, any comments & suggestions are extremely appreciated.

 

Dont ---- with the ones that are in the butcrack of the firewall, not worth your time, look for eclipse, talons, old rx7's anything that whould ahve a turbo, audi's volks, throw that ---- over the fense and come back later that night
take
One flat head and one philips screw driver
socket set with wratchet and cheater bar
hammer
pry bar

 

BIGGEST TIP EVER: take the ------ support bracket off the bottom of the turbo FIRST!!! oh and bring some "PB Blaster" and a Coke... spray all the bolts with PB and drink the coke and acess what needs to be done before starting.

turbo Merkur XR4's, Mustang SVO, T-Bird Turbocoupe, AND Cougar XR7 (always forgotten) 2.3L are some of the best to get turbos from. nice size for pretty much any car...

 

Alright, thanks alot guys. The hunt begins in half an hour.

 

I was gonnna go to the pic and save junk yard here today, Its only a dollar to get in but its ------- raiing lik emad, so ---- it

 

Don't forget Saab. They have nice .42/.48 T3's

Before doing anything. just take off enough to check the shaft for play. If they have excessive play, it might not be worth taking the time to pull. Move on to the next one.

 

bring a bag of tools and a whole lot of swearing

 

Hell yeah I'm going t the junkyard in a half hout for the first time this year. Don't forget about fords like probes and even a few escorts. I always find alot of turbos iin saabs.

 

dont forget to look in large diesle vehicles. they have turbos. also, volvos got some really good bullet proof turbos.
