choosing turbo system....

shnitzel · Post by **shnitzel** » Mon Mar 20, 2006 12:08 am

well, im starting to get antsy and want the rest of my parts... problem is i still havnt decided the direction to go. presently the car is a blow through carb turbo system.

here are my present solutions.

rx-7 stuff.. good choice, hard to find in my limited wrecking yards...

v-8 throttle body... dont know how it will respond under the boost pressure... o-rings etc??? dont know if it will be tunable to idle in the 1.8L engine.

lastly, a full v-8 multiport system running all 8 injectors. easy to find, but i dont know about sticking 8 injectors in my manifold....

any suggestions?

i need:

-injectors (sounds like those would do nicely)
-injector bungs
-fuel rail
-throttle body with stepper style IAC and TPS
-fuel pump
-boost dependent fuel pressure regulator

some of these parts i can find at local wreckers. but what ya got? very interested.

well I could help you, but I really need more info.
What are you T'ing? what size engine? what engine type? SOHC/DOHC

Once you get into turbo's cheaper is definately NOT better.

I have a '90 DSM throttle body complete for sale, a DSM Fuel rail and a boost referenced fuel pressure regulator. I have had it as low as 30 base pressure and peaked the pump on the high end. I also have a walbro 255LPH pump I can get rid of.

83 (2nd gen) civic
1.6L EL1 block with the EK1 1.8L crank (accord stuff)
fully balanced
lightened flywheel

some head porting
kevlar 400hp clutch
t3 turbo pressurizin weber carb
aeromotive (up to 20psi) regulator

its pretty fun as is. but i have my megasquirt box here built, tested and ready to roll. time to pull that awefull carb out of the system.
