The next week i will put the turbo kit in my car .....it's a 05 civic with the d17a1 engine (sohc non-vtec).I think that i will run @ 6 psi? it is ok?......I have:

manifold
t3-t4 turbocharger + oil line
wastegate
Saab Side Mount Intercooler
Charge pipes came out from a dsm and from a volvo turbo
greddy type rs blow of valve

here is my questions: 1)what other thing i need? 2) i have a BLOX FMU 12:1,......for engine management, this will work?....or what other thing i need?!!

 

good luck with that. nice turbo

 

i think 6psi is good enough to stock engine using FMU

but my advice to decide in the future to change the fmu with any electronic method (chip, safc+cold spark blug+ rotat your destributor, stand alon managment) and the big injectors
but of cours the chiping is the best at all.

 

Don't give advise unless you know wtf you are taking about.

It will run and most likely not blow up, but it wont run nearly as well as it would with proper management. I'd advise you to upgrade your fuel pump if you're running an FMU. As far as the other stuff you'll need, check the stickys in the FI forum.

 

i really dont understand why ppl want runing with those ***** if they can to run with ecu chipped very well to good prices..

 

Used FMU = $50
Upgrade to HP fuel pump $100
Retard ignition timing for shitty off-boost performance = free
Rope = free
---- method to tuning = $150

Chipping kit $20
450's $50
Willem Burner $40
Borrow a wideband = free
Awesome, adjustable, reliable tuning $110

 

at least he took the picture of the china turbo and replaced it with garrett

 

a t3 to t4? does the compressor wheel change like a transformer into a .92 t4 wheel, back into a .48 t3 wheel for lowend?

 

You guys did all read that this is an '05 Civic right? There are arent chipping upgrades that I know of yet...

Tunability is limited to Emanage, AFC (maybe) and Hond$t$ might have a reflash out...who knows.

 

Hi German, jejeje, im going to install his turbo kit
