Any info about boost that most people dont mention?
Ok so its easy to understand the basics of turbo's, bov's and what not. But what other stuff is needed? I mean widebands, boost controllers, ecu's, tuning... what else goes into turboing other then just the basic crap everyone says you need. Not talking about cheap ebay kits with just the basics.
Been thinking about mildly boosting my EM1 for a while. What worries me is being OBD2, what ECU to run, chipping, all the stuff is new to me. Anyone shed a little light on it? What all must be done to turbo a car reliably other then the basic turbo kit parts. Mainly an EM1
What if I run into a dizzy problem, or any other problem where I have to limp home. Does being on boost cause even more problems when trying to limp your car home (making car not even driavable)

It will educate you concerning the engine management situation.
Concerning running into limp mode, this doesn't randomly happen unless you have an engine computer failure or major component failure which would happen if a motor was naturally aspirated anyhow. What you need to understand that the only reliability difference between an all motor vehicle and turbocharged vehicle is the actual hardware that is added to the engine such as the manifold, turbo, charge piping etc. The distributor still functions the same, the map sensor still functions in the same method along with all of the other sensors.
Most people have reliability issues with turbocharged vehicles because they:
1. Don't buy quality parts.
2. Install everything incorrectly.
3. Skimp on tuning
the list goes on...

How does this affect the motor when turbo'd. Assuming quality parts. Not high end, not low end.

What I mean is like right now for example. I am running into what I (and yall) think is a Dizzy problem with my car. Anything over 5k and shit gets chuggy/poppy/ and tach needle spikes. If I ran into a spark issue or something that cause a missfire, or anything else would that hurt the motor more then just being NA? I know the motor doesn't care if its 250hp NA or boost, but both with this car, and my truck, I have run into times when I had to limp it home because it was just barely drivable. Either something ignition failure or sensor or something gone out.

You should resolve the issue first. If you have an ignition issue with a turbo vehicle i.e.. miss-firing it generally won't hurt the motor.
You should not use any aftermarket napa, autozone distributor parts.
Use only oem honda....

You shouldn't even consider turbocharging a vehicle with ignition/wiring issues to begin with.

I don't plan on building this motor. I picked up a B16 bottom end from chi town brat a while back. Want to get it bored/honed 1mm over, pr3 1mm over pistons, stock rods, arp rod bolts/head bolts, new main/rod bearings. Micropolished crank. Basic motor rebuild. Nothing fancy. just make sure everything MIC's out good.
Considering it, but not for sure yet. I need something reliable. If this shit seems to complicated im just gonna keep my DD slow and safe, pull out the 350 4 bolt main I have laying in the garage and build a carbed 383 1st gen S10 or something.
