Hello...i relize this is kind of a noob question but yea...my search thing wont work and searching 200+pages of topics is just annoying...but anyways...I am planning to turbo my B20 Civic.. I would like some input as to what kind of turbo i should put on...i am only wanting to boost about 8psi...because i dont wanna change internals and its my daily driver...My budget is about 1k...and i get the hook up on a lot of parts b/c my father is an auto wrecker..so basic parts are basicly free...thanks for the help...and yes im expecting some flamming..but i am starting to search through the many pages so...lol thanks

 

Get a turbo from your dad. Easy.

 

Lol i know that much...i mean regarding Manifold Turbo Fitment Issues....I am thinking of using a Nissan Turbo...Probably off of a late 80's 300ZX or something..but would i have to custom fit a manifold for it...and also regarding intercooler piping and such...would i be able to buy a kit and modify it a little or would it be easier to just try to custom fit it...

 

the only tihng your really gonna need is a manifold, a welder and some piping. everything else you can easily get from your dad. the fabrication parts are completely up to you, unless you wanna get the pricey ---- like i did whihc would seriously dent your budget

 

cool..thanks for the input...

 

a 300zx turbo would be too small imo

find a turbo thunderbird or something

 

Get some injectors and blow off valve from a DSM Eagle Talon etc and then get a turbo from a Thunderbird not sure which years you want but someone can chime in on that.A intercooler can be found in many cars get the biggest you can dig up and you have most of the hard parts other then a mani.

 

While your at it. Go through the yard and get some turbo parts and post them for sale on here and you can fund your kit. Since i gave you such a good idea you can send me some turbo parts for free. Ill take just about anything. PM me for my address.

 

i think the thunderbird turbo you want comes from a 88-89 thurnderbird. but dont quote me on that its late 80's early 90. look it up on msn auto. they will show which models to look for.

 

a 80's 300zx turbo is BIGGER than most thunderbird T3.
And rare thunderbird turbos have the 0.63 a/r turbine, making them the SAME as a early 300Zx T3.

They're good for 100-250HP and can be pushed to 300 HP.
