hey i'm new here.
 
Im starting to work on a turbo project and never did a turbo car before so what kind of car should i get to start my addiction to boost? (and possibly a sleeper project) thanks.

how are you starting a turbo project if you don't have a car yet???

Get a car you like, then go from there~

You will get lots of support for tuning Honda's on here... If you want simplicity in tuning, go with an OBD2 car (96 and up)
Want more simplicity? Go with a small block v8 and a blow through carbeurator

Honda's are deffinetly good starter car. Make lots of parts, and there are many communities willing to help you.

Only problem is you have to buy some extra goodies to get your Honda ready to accept boost. But there easy bolt-on's aswell. So no worries! You just need to make the right research to see what fits you best.

Hondas are boring, get something different and fun...or start with a car that`s already turbocharged. Why do you want someone else to tell you what to get? Just buy whatever you think you want to work on and drive.

OBD2 is by no means any easier to work with than OBD1, unless it`s a an ecu you can reflash.

start off with a car thats turbo'd already?! why are u even on this site? lol

hondas are a great way to learn your way around a motor since they are very easy to work on and parts are everywhere. If I could do it all over again thought with the knowledge I have now I would probably get a 280z or some other RWD Nissan.

OBD2 is not the way to go. If you really want to get tuned you'll end up going converting to OBD1.

The dude has never owned a turbo car before...why not upgrade a car that`s already turbo? Sounds like common sense to me. Not everyone is mechanically inclined, I think the hands on learning would be a safe, fun and easy way to learn how a turbo charged vehicle works without jumping into the deep end.

I am here to annoy...anymore questions? :)

thanks for that. i may look into a honda but maybe something else. (maybe a chevy)

hatchdx-si 04-28-2009 11:13 AM

lupinechaos 04-28-2009 02:09 PM
