what are a list of mod you need to have in order to have your car set up for a turbo ...or what is the least amount of things you have to have done to your stock 2000 v6 in order to handle a turbo

[Onemanzu]

depends on how many pounds of boost you wanna run... if you do a low boost set up... like under 11 psi you should be safe with the engine as it is...

uhh.. most of the other things such as exhaust and intake will be redone when you do a turbo... you might look into a better fuel system and better electrical under the hood

but then again... i saw this video where this kid put a hole in his engine cuz he was running to much boost on an old engine...

not only old engine, but weak internals. get forged internals and run any reasonable boost safely. you will need a fuel pump and larger fuel injectors as well to match the air you add in

well if i was lookin to buy the turbo with under 11 psi what would be the least expensive one u think i could find ....and would it be cheaper to buy the turbo in seperate parts ....and if i were to buy it in seperate parts what are all the parts i would have to look into meaning on ebay or whatever?

i would contact the guys at tma turbo. the kit is always cheaper, but regardless of purchase price, add about 40% to have it all installed and tuned.

most turbos can put out up to 25 psi easily... the thing is how you tune it... it depends on what you set the blow off at... get a really aggresive one too the sound so fuckin bitchin...

but you cannot run 25psi on stock internals

yea but i was just trying to say that if you get a turbo.... don't worry about what psi it puts out... cuz they all can put out plenty

[scubasteve041186]

well how about putting up a list of different turbos he can look into and what kind of parts he'll need to pick up like manifolds, and pipeing. possible intercooler and all that junk? haha i kinda want the list too

[Cricket]

Well nobody but tma makes turboheaders unless if you make them yourself or have a buddy or shop fab them up for you. You really need to narrow your setup down. What kind of setup are you looking for because that will determine what turbos to get and so on.

[scubasteve041186]

well is there specific turbos that can go on our cars and ones that can't?.. ones that are recommended? size of turbo to be looking for? and such and such lol

[Onemanzu]

yea about that ... im not to sure on what will work... and what you really want but i can throw some names out if you really want...

HSK
Greddy
Garrett
uhh vortech makes S/C's if you care
APEXi
jackson racing

their are many different manufactures that make turbos... what youll need for a turbo??

uhh here i found a link to a ricer site that is all about it... with out pics of any hondas... turbo advice

their are many definitions and list on their... ill be back on later ima go read up on turbos and do some math to try and help aight...

lata

[scubasteve041186]

haha thanks buddy very much appreciated

[scubasteve041186]

Make sure its all there!
Turbo
wastegate
Bov
Piping
Intercooler
Manifold
and some sort of
Fuel and Timing control
These are all parts that are essential to making a turbo car run correctly.

and thanks again that site helps definately

You don't need a BOV or an intercooler, but they help with them running at there best.

[Onemanzu]

well a good rule to follow is to never run over 10 psi unless you have a intercooler so depending on how much psi u wanna do that might be needed....

and the blow off vaulve isn't needed you right... but why the hell not when your spendin all that money anyways

[Cricket]

Some people don't use BOV because they think some people won't know they have a turbo. A better rule to follow. With your 3.8 don't go over 7 lbs of boost with stock internals. I would stay safe at 5 with a tune, but thats just me.

[scubasteve041186]

yeah i'm gona get most of it redone with a power pak but thanks for the fair warning i very much appreciate the incite guys better then me googling websites all day. atleast i get some first hand knowledge

[Cricket]

powerpak can only do so much. You need forged internals.

[Onemanzu]

very true... infact let me see if i can find that video of the kid blowing his engine
