new to imports, turbo set-up question
 

sorry to bother you but i am a noob, just warning you lol...........anyways im going to be straight to the point (i have learned a lil from other ppl but wanna clear it up)

d15 non vtec, roughly 35k original miles, stock except ignition system...manifold , turbo, fmic, bov, oil lines, retard timing, and GOOD fuel management will i be safe to run stock rods say if i only wanna boost around 8 in an automatic car?
*will the hack (dsm inj and safc) work til i can afford better management,
* i was planning on using a 14 b turbo, but wanna keep my a/c, is their a physically smaller sized turbo out there, that is still easy to get a manifold for, even if i have to sacrifice boost, even if its only like 5 or 6 psi total?


i searched and found some info, but not enough to assure me...sorry to be a bother, thanks in advance

lil help guys...

Re:new to imports, turbo set-up question
 

saving the a/c is about turbo placement more than size.

safc and 450ccs are known to work pretty well if you know what you're doing with the settings.

well i would have the tuning done professionally, ive held a 14b and attempted to figure out how to fit it in there but cant c how, is it possible while keeping the a/c?

is 8-9psi from a 14b safe for stock d15 , including rods?

Re:new to imports, turbo set-up question
 

It is possible to keep it with any turbo. It is all about placement.

Look at some pics of rides.

I think it is possible to keep your ac if you rotate it such that the downpipe is comming out the right side

Re:new to imports, turbo set-up question
 

hey bro, talk to shitbird on this site, hell make you a custom manifold. You can definately keep your A/C. Just imagine the stock header and that you tweak it toward the passanger side all the way at the bottom and so now your exhaust connects around where the tranny mount is or even further to that side? you got that? Yes people on here run stock rods all day long on 8 - 9 psi.

got good info on using the VAFC on my car with 440cc injectors and I dont even have a rough idle or mid throtle...runs really well 8)...I am only at 7-8lbs though :'(
