Thread: Need info

  1. #1

    Thumbs up Need info

    I am going to do a turbo on my car and was wandering if any body had some sugestions for injectors and plugs as well as where to get them.

    Really depends on your power goals for the size injectors you want. What are your power goals?

    Im running the NGK TR55IX. You could get some Denso iridiums as well.

    Are we talking wheel or crank hp here?

    Didn't you just post about doing a 3L swap? Are you doing that or are you going turbo, or do you plan on doing both?

    you say that as if you could CHOOSE to do more...

    Isn't the highest dyno'd at like 402 whp...or am I thinking of something else? Regardless, it's one of the highest.

    Don't forget to do all tranny mods first (LSD).

    And have fun with no traction...but Good Luck!

    I have been turbo for a while now. I have been built 3L and turbo for quite some time as well.

    On my small turbo at only about 10-11 lbs I put down 336. I now have a turbo good to flow about 600hp....which I don't plan on doing, but it is there.

    I have having my O2 sensor bung welded on my downpipe this week, and then I need to put it on and finish the tune...by way of Warmonger.

    I also had some little thing I was going to do...although I think I am about ready to sell it. We just had our 2nd kid...and I work 60-70hrs a week. I just don't have time to enjoy it. I haven't driven it since oct because I have had barely anytime to work on it and swap the turbo, plus my extra time I rather spend with my family.

    I want to build my car unless you want to trade with some cash. I want about 400-450 crank horse power. If my budy can build a 500 hp civic that is hid dd then I can do my goal in hp. I am aslo undesided on the swap.

    good luck...everyone will tell you to buy one already done especially since a civic is WAY different than a contour.

    It is not cheap!!!! There have been so many that started and never finished the project...

    No I am selling outright.
