God Help Me...

k guys i got a 94 Integra LS that's aching to be turboed.
i've spent many a long hour contemplating my engines doom and/or destiny and i can't seem to find the right (not the cheapest but close to it) way to go.

here's my list:

turbo mainfold
downpipe
255 fuel pump
t3/t4 turbo
wastegate
BOV
intercooler
550cc injectors
2.5 inch exhaust

here are my questions:
(i am going to start with 6-7 psi)

1. do i NEED the new exhaust right now?
2. do i NEED new injectors right now?
3. how do i deal with the fuel system..
-fuel pump booster?
-get dealership to reprogram the ECU?
-or is there another something?

and that's all i have for right now

i will have more questions later DONT WORRY!

thanx for the help in advance!

-Ryan

I really would recommend upgrading the injectors (550 is too huge) and pump (I see thats planned) - and to manage it Id either shell out for hondata system or go afc hack (dont take it to dealership for reprogram)...you could also go fpr

it wouldnt hurt to upgrade the exhaust...you can get it done cheap if its cutom from a shop (please just get a resonator too)

thats all im going to say...dont need my foot in my mouth for sayin something Im just really starting to learn myself

1) Do you have a 2.5 inch exhaust pipe all the way to the muffler?
Get a high flow cat and since we're in Va, we have no emissions test, so you might as well get a test pipe.
2)-3) Stay with 550cc injectors as long as you have a program to control it. Use hondata. It's a little pricey but you wont regret it. The AFC "hack" will work too, unless you boost higher than 10-12psi, then you'll throw a CEL code. Discard the booster idea on low to mid level boost. Let the Hondata do it's job. Definitely get a 255LPH in-tank fuel pump, so the volume of fuel is always there even if you are not burning the fuel. The dealership will not reprogram your ECU. They will get you a new ECU. Only aftermarket companies will do that. If you get Hondata, no need for ECU reprogram since that's what Hondata does.... piggy back the ECU.

Do you have any of the items you listed already? What type of manifold do you have? If you're around ro close by Va Beach, let me know.

i looked over hondata and they seem a bunch of rip offs, but in the end i think that's the best option. the "chip" has all the options built in, but you need a special code to unlock each feature. about 200 for each feature

or click on my cars and review every single tech guide that I have. It will surely help you along the way to get your turbo project complete. If you have made your mind about goint turbo, I say buy the big stuff first like the Turbo, Manifold, and Intercooler then work your way to the small stuff. Post up your Q's about the hack here. I want more traffic on this forum..... Peace!
