What should i DO?
 
Hey guys, I know a lot about honda engines, but not much about turbos. I have a d15b8 engine and a saab turbo in pretty good condition. I have the tools to make everything, but i am scared about if my engine can take it????
I will probaly boost 4 PSI 6 at the most. plus i dont have enough money for good engine managment. Could you guys tell me exactly what i should do to my engine so i dont blow it. I dont have the money for extra things like an intercoolor and stuff right now. I just want to run low PSI so i can have some extra horepower. But im worried my engine wont be able to handle it. I just need to know exactly what to do with my engine so it still last's and i dont have to buy a new one! I also have a air o fuel ratio gauge and boost guage.

Just wait until you get your intercooler, then do all of the charge piping. Your little Honda should take the 4psi.

Until then though. How should i change the mixture and stuff? Should i make it rich or lean?? those kinda things i need to know. where do i get my oil from to cool turbo? I also herd some things about my MAP sensor. I just need some answers on these. And some extra input.

You need to read EVERYTHING in this site.

You will need to decide what you want to use for fuel management. How much do you have to spend? You DO NOT want to run lean. Rich is way better than lean. Your oil comes from the oil pressure sensor right next to the oil filter. Your oil return needs to go to the oil pan close to the top.

Or if you do not want to ---- with your oil pan, you can buy them prefab for an ungodly amount of money. Check Ebay, if interested.
