turbo help
if i have a honda civic ex and turvo it running 4 or 5 lbs. what do i need to upgrade...(fuel pump ect.) anything? i have a lag when i give it gas what is this from? anyone know?
4 or 5 pounds of boost wouldn`t require much upgrade the kit should come with a boost dependant regulator.Anything beyond 5 psi you should get fuel pumpright timingetc. Lag is common on turbo just high rev it and drop the hammer !
another ex turbo person... Why even try? You will not get the performance that you desire. Im not trying to be mean but putting a turbo on an EX and running 4-5psi you will still get beat by a 99-00 si with a Matrix cai and Brospeed Farttip.
Couldnt you spend your money a better way?

Everyones bangin the poor little D16Y8...
In actuality adside from not being able to tune the overlap properties its a very good engine. Beef up the internals a bit and you have a nice low compression engine ready to be turboed. If you want to see what a lot of hard work can do to a SOHC Vtec motor check out http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/F...2924/cars.html

When I first started to contemplate putting a Turbo on my civic I decided to ask other Turbo Civic owners what they thought. I couldnt very many that were happy. Most complained that the Turbo did not perform as well as they had expected. I started thinking about doin something else until somebody pointed out that everybody I talked too had Ex civics. I decided to try it for myself. I absolutely love it but then I have a Hybrid.
I have just talked to way too many dissapointed EX owners who wish they hadnt gone turbo. and 4-5 pounds? Lets not kid each other. BOOST IS ADDICTIVE. I should know.

What turbo are you running anyways? The Civic Ex kits are usually pretty tame so I dont see why youd have a lag issue...or at least not a major one.
its sll in good fun i jus get frusterated.
ok the car isnt mine im askin for a friend here is what i know- gready turbo(i think its the lowest one) he has an intercooler and a blow off and all that- does he need new injectors or anything like that? it runs good at like 3/4 gas but if he gives it full theres lag any reason?

True 4 or 5 psi wont do much. Im running 10-12 psi and spank Type R Si all day long. my motor is all stock except the aid of a thick metal head gasket.My best time is 14.5 with no traction what so ever maybe i`ll get some slicks and break in the 13`s someday.
