Turbo Manifolds and Turbos

Go with a Full Race manifold and a 35R turbo with an AEM tuning system. Run 880 to 1000CC injectors with a 255 fuel pump. Make sure you get LSD for the trans with stage 3 clutch. Full 3" turbo back exhast. 3.5" thick intercooler with custom piping done. The motor needs to be all done up also. This is a good start

See, I wanna start off with just a SMALL turbo, and stock internals BEFORE I do that. I wanna learn how to get it all working well, and learn how to do it all with a $800 turbo kit before I drop $5000 on a race turbo setup and built internals.
What are you using for fuel management, and what injectors/fuelpump are you using?
And yea, Why ARE you selling it???
I know $1000 is a good deal... but you didn't answer my question
What are you using for fuel management? what injectors/fuel pump you running? what kind of manifold? what kind of turbo?
p:
that turbo'ed civic actually beat me in a run at byron by like a tenth of a second (damn top end). I have the time slip somewhere...
I didn't mean it in a bad way, I just know Das was aiming for low 15's before and if that turbo set-up could hit him high or mid 14's ( which I know it did on another car...), it's a good thing. I wasn't being negative at all.
Id go for the setup from Rodger. Its made to fit the car, has proven to put an otherwise stock car in the 14s, and its relatively cheap. If you dont buy that, Id just go with some cheap ebay stuff minus the turbo. No need to spend big money if you are staying lower boost, and a bolt on only motor right now. Im sure you agree that there are other parts of your car that could get some attention before dropping over $1k on the turbo shit.
Thank you for the positive comment! But my hatch is worlds different from SRT's sedan, I'm gutted (a gutted hatch is a solid 300lbs lighter than a full sedan), with a larger displacement motor *more torque, less hp*.
A big problem he has currently is that he has a transmission that is geared terribly for his motor, if he had the correct transmission for his power plant, he could net a low 14, high 13 I'm certain.
Oh god yes, Lol. Suspension/rims/tires are the next thing on the list before boost. No point trying to put down power when the car handles like a wet rag and has model-T width tires.
I am considering it, but I still wanna learn about it all, I'm curious what kind of turbo it is, what RPM's does it spool at, how does it all work (I know the basics of HOW it increases HP, but I am more interested in turbo to motor efficiency, and tuning)
if you just want a cheap turbo kit go with rodgers kit. I was the one driving it at the drag strip. It will go high 13's or fast with no changes to the kit. The day at the track the car had two bad axles, 17" rims, LS trans, and a rev limit set to 7,000. it is a 14b, ebay main, steel intercooling piping, and on crome. you will have to retune it for your motor and get injectors. just get a set of rc's 550 so they grow with you down the road. for the $1,000 you cant go wrong.
my kit is the most basic it can get - im running chrome (most places can tune it and sell it cheap) dsm 440's (id spend the money and get RC's) my car is running the dsm 14b and only running 8psi - turbo is good to around 20psi so even that turbo setup there is plenty of room to grow. plus the intercooler piping might not be the greatest but it will fit you car and you can modify/fix when you get a chance...ive put 12,000 miles on this setup so far with no major problems at all....and the tranny issue isnt really a issue cuz you finish the 1/4 over 100mph and still in 3rd gear plus you get the great gas mileage
