I want to do a home made turbo on my Civic. I'd like to use a DSM 14B turbo but I'm not sure what else I need to get.
Someone give me some help?

Also I want to get an FMIC but I want it to be big enoguh so I can upgrade later, any suggestions?

I suggest you read through all .You will find a plethora of info on differebt turbo kits that people have put together.Also use the "search'' I'm sure you will find answers to most your questions.

Ok I've done some reading and here's what I've decided to get so far for this little set up.
DSM 14B turbo
STD Manifold with adaptor plate
Mandle Bent 2.5" Downpipe
Fuel Pressure Regulator
Tyrus Intercooler (as seen in Adam's second turbo set up on the turbo project page)
Turbo XS BOV
Mandle Bent Charge Pipes
Gauges (Boost, EGT, Wideband O2)

How many feet of coolant and oil lines do I need? Also what should I run for the lines (rubber or steel)?
Where can I tap into on my oil pan for the feed?

Anything else you guys can suggest I run?

Usually if you get one of those steel braided oil feed line kits they are a universal length. I recommend using 3an steel braided line for the feed and 1/2" to 3/4" rubber line for the oil return. And you don't tap into the oil pan for the oil feed. you tap into the oil pan for the oil return and you want it as high as possible in the pan so it will drain freely. You use the oil pressure sensor on the back of your block to tap into the oil feed.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Should I run some DSM 450cc injectors? I'll need a AFC right? (apex'i afc)
What about an FMU? Bigger Fuel Pump too?

I should add that I'll be running a turbo timer too.

Thanks for all the help so far guys!

Yes to the injectors,yes to the afc(recomend v-afc if you have vtec)you dont need fmu with afc.I would also upgrade fuel pump.

Ok thanks.
I only have a few questions left.
Does anyone sell andaptor plate or have a diagram for one?
An exhaust shop can do my welding right? (oil pan bung, sensor bungs and so forth)
Is an intercooler that measures 24x8x3.5 (30" long with end tanks) fit in my civic bumper and still allow enough air flow to my raditor?

do not trust a muffler shop to do you oil pan. It is worth your while to get a speed shop to weld it for you. It may cost more, but it will save you time because the weld will hold the first time and they understand what you are doing to your car.

if the guys at the muffler shop know what they are doing..then that is fine..

my hangout spot back in NYC was a muffler shop, and all the guys who worked there had REALLY modded cars..like RX7's, supra's, and Turbo integras..

they do more charge pipe building than installed mufflers....and thay did one of my FIRST turbo setup, YEARS ago..and up untill i last heard from the current owner, the car still runs good.

just make sure who ever do your setup, knows what they are doing, and has alot of turbo experience.

Nevermind, I found a plate.

What size fuel pump should I get?
