So I'm fairly new to the tuning mod scene, and I have a B16a2 EG with intake exhaust... And I feel its just not fast enough (don't flames). I was curious about turboing and asked around and was referred to this site. So straight up no bull, what is needed for a turbo, how much is it gonna run me (CAD), how hard will it be, and what exactly is involved. What makes a turbo work, what will I need to change? Will it even work?

 

it depends on what car its in, u can def do it and prolly less that 1000 dollars, and a bunch of long nights reading throught this site. The work involved is not hard unless you are a total ----. I've got my kit together for close to 600 bucks.

 

1. search and read
2. repeat
3. repeat

 

a) It's in an EG hatch
b) I will search, any suggestions on turbo's? (looking for more mid range HP rather than some huge top level)
c) What's a reasonable boost on a B16?
d) Where would be a good place to aquire some parts (locally vs online)?
e) Correct me if I'm wrong but...
A turbo kit includes:
Turbo
Intercooler
BOV
Hoses/Tubing
Flanges (3/8")
Possibly a boost controller?
Intake Manifold
Am I missing anything?

 

just do #2 and you'll be fine.

 

Have a read throught this, it will help. Try searching for the parts and compare online to shop prices.

make sure theres a wastegate somewhere in there or all hell will break loose.. lol, im pretty new to the scene too (been turbo'd for about 2 months now) and research is alot, once you get one thing fixed it usually involves fixing another so do alot of homework!

 

Just found this on honda-tech that might be of some use to you....
