And what turbo would be better for his sohc civic one off a probe or the 14b off a 1g dsm?? let me know what u guys think were about ready to roll jsut doing some last minute research. p.s do they have an charts on how to do the coolent lines i forgot how mine went thanks alot

i have no answers for you...but welcome

Re:first time post! doing a turbo kit
 

welcome to the board. Just research theres lot of info on this board. Look around read the FAQ and projects. And why would you want to know how low you can get with the boost?

Re:first time post! doing a turbo kit
 

you seem cool enough so I'll try not to be an -------.

you should have posted this in the forced induction forum, just let it get moved there, don't make 2 posts, it makes me mad.

stealthmode sells oil lines, check out his thread in the classifieds for order information, I'm not going to recommend anyone else since I know steve personally and his kits are good.

14b is a pretty shitty turbo in my opinion, if you want to go small then get a .42/.48 t3 from a saab.

Re:first time post! doing a turbo kit
 

let yourself know, check out other people's setups. search around in the forced induction forum to see what other people are using. don't use the search function, it sucks, but just look for threads that might have pictures or parts lists.

Ok, what happened to the real Kyle, it must be the b-day :-*

Re:first time post! doing a turbo kit
 

Welcome.By that comment I can tell your a definite DSM guy.A properly tuned D engine with stock internals can run 10-11psi all day long.Hell I had my wastegate set at 12 but would only hit that a couple of times and that was only on the AFC 1/2 ass tune.

That 14b is fine if you want "off the line" boost but like Kyle said most people use a .42/48. T3 off of a Saab or a Volvo on a D.Mine was at full boost at 3500 rpm and held till redline @ 10psi.

Good luck.

Re:first time post! doing a turbo kit
 

id like to know the setup on that...my cousin had the big 16g thats on my talon now and his best trap was 102....that couldnt have been a stock motor with that stock 14b running 12's?

Re:first time post! doing a turbo kit
 

very possible to be done. theres a guy i know that put a stock motor and a 14b into 11's, i think he has the track record up here. When he wants, its alot fastert than that tho.

But anyways, i would say if u have the 14b already, just use it. once its all up and running good, he can go bigger and better.

Re:first time post! doing a turbo kit
 

i can get a turbo from a probe gt? would it be better spool for his 1.6sohc? the 14b has alot! of shaft play so i kinda rather go for the probe gt turbo. anyways i remember my t25 on my civic didnt spool till like 4500 also have u guys heard of the civic that has the 4g63t (eclipse engine)its running i think low 12s stock!

Re:first time post! doing a turbo kit
 

^ I highly doubt that.

Ford Probe turbo would have a very quick spool but not much top end power, I don't believe.

Re:first time post! doing a turbo kit
 

hey welcome to the site. I'm just getting back into it again myself because i sold my car and got a 4 door Accord V6 but hopefully at the auction tomorrow i'll be on my way to a new turbo project. My advise is to just research somemore.
A turbo project is not something you do last minute research on. Try writing down what you hope to getout of your project... power, daily drivablity, stuff like that and it should help eliminate some questions and answer others faster.
good luck and hope to see you around the boards;)

Re:first time post! doing a turbo kit
 

do u think the probe turbo would get a faster spool than the 14b? also why do u need top end i mean 6-8 psi till redline can be done with about any turbo out there i think. The 14b will hold up to 20 with the right mods. Yeah im gonna get a new honda and turbo it but this one is for a buddy thot i would help him out with his slow 00 auto ex 4 door what do u guys think he will pull in the quarter?? set at 8 psi intercooler! no fuel mods

Re:first time post! doing a turbo kit
 

psi is not cfm.cfm is what will keep the turbo from doing more than just blowing hot air and choking the engine at high rpms.

Re:first time post! doing a turbo kit
 

i think that u need to stop asking 24 questions in 1 post. It looks like your on speed or something.
