What do I need to turbo my car?

[aquamann87]

so i'm new at all this jazz. i pretty much know the basics and that's it. i have a few mods done to my car but again only the basic header, exhaust, intake, coilovers, and rims. i'm still learning so bare with me, i'm wanting to turbo my car but i'm not sure what type of setup to get or where to get it. my assumption on turboing is to get it sleeved change the cams, fuel pump and injectors, and get forged head studs. what else do i need? thanks ya'll

u dont have to sleeve it, i have turbo on a completely stock ls, it really depends what u want, if u want more power, then yeah, u sleeve it so u can run more psi.

 

[aquamann87]

i'm wanting to run 10-12 psi, it's an everyday driver.

 

[Tam4511]

well i run 10 on stock, but thats the limit, if u want it to last ull definately want to sleeve it

 

[aquamann87]

cool that sounds like a plan. any suggestions on where to get everything i need?

psi doesnt matter its the size of turbo plus psi. psi in a smaller turbo is different than psi in a larger turbo

hey bro since u r new to this i would check this out.
o am btw turboing your car will take time and money make sure you know what u are getting in to be for you go and buy stuff. if you wanta go big its going to cost even more.
stock ls moter=free you have it
turbo kit= $3000 from http://www.turbo-kits.com/integra_turbo_kits.html
after you do that u need to tune your car $300

and now you will have a turbo integra will around 8psi and 10 is pushing it.

Im sure you could piece together a kit for less than buying a kit, but it will take a little shopping around to do so.

There is lots of information out there on turbocharging your car. Team-integra has lots of articles on the subject. I suggest you setup a shopping list of everything you need (If you decide not to get a kit) and price it all out. If you want to run a more aggressive setup and push your car for more power, you will need to sleeve the block, and get forged pistons/rods.

Ill start out some of your shopping list items:
Exhaust manifold (Your header is useless for a turbo setup)
Turbocharger
Wastegate
Blow-off valve
Charge piping
Intercooler
Engine management
Dumptube
Oil lines/fittings
and so-on

^yep, its alot more complicated than buying an off the shelf kit and getting a tune, especially since half the things on those lists dont come with the kit.
