Turbo my CB7

[nappyd420]

Well the expected from running a 14g-16g turbo. No more the 250 or so. I want it to be my daily driver until my brother gives me his Prelude. tehehehe. So I am not to sure once i get that car which would be the daily driver and which will be the weekend warrior.

yea you can hit a reliable 200-225 i think. The kit i used and im selling, is the MHI 16g evo3. nice spool, good power

This is the manifold I am getting in the next few days. He is sending the housing with it too..

[Boost_Lee]

kool, i included mine in my sale. depending on your turbo, you may want to port match it, along with the exhaust ports.

As for the flaws I'm talking about... the majority are internal. Weak ringlands, worn bearings, scored cylinders. Stuff that would eventually lead to engine failure in say, 50,000 miles, might come to light at 10,000 miles with a turbo. The only way is to replace EVERYTHING...

Do it carefully, tune VERY carefully, make sure there are no clear issues with the motor (any oil leaks should be a sign that turbo is a bad idea!) Be prepared for it to blow up. If it does, replace the motor and do it again! A turbo stock block CAN be reliable, but to assume it WILL be reliable is idiotic. Don't take anyone else's experiences as a sign of what you should expect. They're different people, with different parts, different habits, and different knowledge. One slight change and their experience has no bearing on what you're doing.

What size fuel pump should I be running? Umm I also am bidding on some 450cc injectors right now, should i put those on now if i win the bid or do I what until I get my exhaust put on? or do i wait until I have the full turbo setup.

[mozzandherb]

450cc should be fine, just make sure to get some peak and holds since our cars have a resistor box. As for the fuel pump the Walboro 255 is a good choice

Now the injectors should hook right up right? Also what are peak and hold and where can I get them?

The 450cc dsm injectors will almost go right in, you have to cut a little of the rubber gasket ring away, not a big deal. Honestly man, save yourself some money and don't get that dsm manifold. dsm manifolds are perfect, just from the 2g turbo (94-99) the 1g (90-93) crack like hell, causing fuel cut, power loss...its just a pain in the ass. Now on the turbo you were looking at, its really just a 50/50 chance on the e-bay 16g. Some of my customers have used them without problems, and some have not seem 10 miles.
deevergote is absolutely correct. just because some of these other guys motors have held up just fine, that does not mean yours will. there are a few things you can do to check to make sure boosting will be an ok choice. do a compression test, that will see if the internal systems of the motor are up to par. if you are using a m/t then get a better clutch, the stock one will usually go out pretty quick. on a turbo'ed car its also good to do daily service and repairs if needed. check all of your fluids, top them off, every day if needed. check your plugs about every two weeks to see the condition of the combustion chamber, if your running too reach or too lean. of course a wideband will do that better but this will work on a budget. its always best to work smart and slow. research everything before trying it, it will save you $$$ along the way.

Thanks for the info, I had already got the manifold and it was cheap. I did not spend a arm and a leg on this. In your opinion which mani would you run with?

[blakmetal.honda]

Well i am getting the right injectors as soon as i get the money. Would i be able to install the 350cc injectors now or would that cause a problem. I am also going to get a stronger fuel pump i get the money.

My source of funds, delivering pizza for pizza hut. Gotta love those tips. Dip you pizza man god damn it he may be trying to turbo his car.

And yeah once i go turbo no more pizza delivery.

SWEEEEEEET I am also delivering for pizza hut! But instead of turbo, I'm doing a h22a swap, and auto to manual changeover. already got everything but the clutch and brake pedals and the clutch cylinder. But yeah i won't be delivering in this car after the swap.

Holy sh*t, you can go from 125-145 hp (depending on year and model) to 225-250hp with a 16g turbo?

[nappyd420]

Yes my friend yes I want the horse power. MUhahahahaha Yet I dont want to blow this motor just yet, well not until next year when I know I can get the money to buy a new one.

[vanillagorilla]

so our cars do have a resistor box wired in right?

[quickangel93]

if your going to be running dsm you have a choice to run stock fuel pump or the welbro. im going to be running stock.

[vanillagorilla]

any places that make manifold for f22's or what?
