hello everyone i have a few questions about my turbo project... i have a list of parts first:
1. t70 turbo compressor wheel is 60.5mm (i am worried it might be a little big)
2. fmic
3. ic piping
4. fmu
5. oil lines feed line and return line
6. bov
7. external wastegate 38mm
8. turbo manifold
9. downpipe
10. boost gauge and air fuel ratio gage and piller

engine is a b16a2 it has full 3" exhaust no cat dsm injectors msd ignition coil, distributor cap, and wires. bosh plat 4 plugs. if that makes any diff.
first off all i wanted to know if i have everything i would need to push 6 to 8 psi and if the turbo will work when should it be fully spooled up? any suggestions thanks please forgive any ignorance i have, for this is my first turbo project ever. thanks agian

your on the right track, however....dsm injectors + fmu = no workie..
you either have to run one or the other, fmu=junk ---- garbage, but running dsm injectors requires controll of the injectors, which means chipping the ecu and tuning the ecu with turboedit or uberdata....also no way in hell that turbo is gonna do ---- on that engine, you be lucky to get a couple psi at about 7,500 rpm...you need to think smaller, much much smaller like a 60 trim t3 or even a 57 or 60 trim t3/t4...big turbo doesnt necissarily mean big power, there is a lot more to it than that, with a stock internal honda motor, big power comes from a moderate size turbo ( as listed above) and good tuning...best of luck.....

boost more then 8 psi and ditch the fmu for uber

As above .. if ur on a tight budget FMU wil work , but not all the best . Up 2you if you wana use it tho :P

Just dnt run injectors + fmu ..
As for the rest save up some $$$ and get it tuned up . (ecu wise etc)

thanks for the info i am checking out some turbos right now and think i found someone to buy my old one.... could i use a safc with the injectors?? i am looking to spend about 400-500 on the turbo and whatever else i will need... i am hoping to get this all put togheter by next weekend...
thanks agian

i just bought a new turbo today.... its a GARRETT T3 TURBO AR'S ARE .42 AND .48 hopefully this will be a better size right?? i forgot to mention in the old post but i still need to buy a smaller radator for the 89 civic dx to have room for the turbo right? if so i will get that today too...
thanks for the help... and tell me if there is anything else you think i will need....

nice.... a .42/.48 t3 will do good, needing a smaller radiator all depends on the manifold you use, some have room for a full length, some dont, only way to really tell is to do some measuring/ test fitting....if you use a stock 92+ civic radiator you have to do a bit of cutting to the crossmember and lower rad. support, its not to bad to do, however if you have the cash to buy a drop in half length off e-bay or something, they look a lot better, plus they drop right in...

i just bought a 98 civic radiator cuz i got it for a really good deal so is there anything else i should do can i do this just for temporary purposes... put my 240cc fuel injectors back in and run the fmu with the turbo kit?? until i can afford some type of engine management.... i am not going to push more than 6-7 psi like this so i should be fine right i also just bought a battery relocation kit so i can put it in my trunk... when i hook the turbo up to the oil lines can i use the lines that go to the oil cooler thanks agian for the help guys
