do i need anything else to run the turbo on my car?
alright i am installing a turbocharger for the first time. i would really like to do this correctly. if anyone knows of any sites that could help me with the install, it would be greatly appreciated. this is what i have, or is on its way, please tell me if there is anything else i need before i go ahead with the install.
turbo
manifold(still need, does anyone have one for sale or trade?)
downpipe(am getting made custom because i cant find one)
piping(am getting made custom because i cant find one)
wastegate(delta)
bov
intercooler(side mount)
oil line/ return line
i need a tapped oil pan (does anyone have one or know how to tap one?)
do i need any sensors, or a check valve, or anything. the whole turbo kit is from a eclipse. except for like the piping and manifold and downpipe, the turbo is a tdo5h(i think it is a 14b). my engine is a b17a1, i plan on running 6-8 lbs of boost. my car has all the bolt ons(i/h/e) it also has a fuel pressure regulator, and cam gears. should i raise my fpr, or adjust my cam timing? please any help is greatly appreciated.

your going to need your computer tuned, i can definatly tell you that, you'll also want bigger injectors, FMU, fuel system components like pump, FPR, and all that....

i have a fpr and cam gears, should i adjust my fpr or cam gears? do i really need bigger injectoprs to run 6-8lbs of boost, and the stock map sensor is 2 bar and is capable of handling i believe 12-14 psi. yes i know i will have to get my car tuned. but do i need any other hardware? or bolt ons? im not worrriekd about tuning and fuel management right now. i just want to put it on and make it work fiirst. thankyou for the help.

i was planning on putting a 14b. i have never heard of out flowing something. i assumed that the turbo would push a steady 6-8 lbs of boost all the way to 7800. why would the boost drop off?

i think he meant you'd overspin the crap out of it... pushing a turbo way out of map isnt cool. Making one work harder than it needs to also isnt. You make it, and the intercooler work much harder by having too small of a turbo.
example: 2.5 dodges came stock with a little Mitsy TD04 turbo. With the wastegate unplugged they max out at about 18psi. They will do it, but not forever. It's also WAY off the map. Now, throw on a Garrett T03 and you can move the same volume of air at say 14psi.. thats a lot less air compression = less heat created = less to cool.

TurboGSR civic, That sounds to me like your HP just falls off at 6800. I could be incorrect. My Garrett t3 flows fine @ 10psi all the way up to my govenor. (7200rpm) A td05(14b) is larger then my turbo, So altho slower to spool up should work fine @ 7800. I also have a D16Y8 motor. *shrug* Lots of differences there, but I believe he should be okay with a TD05 cept for the spooling will be signifigantly slower then mine.
