Hi,

I am currently in need of some help from the knowlegdable forum browsers. I plan on turbo charging my talon, while I am on my license suspention (so i wont have down time when i get them back) Anyways I was wondering what the cheapest way to turbo my car would be? I was thinking about getting the exhuast manifold and just slapping on a rebuilt stock mitsu turbo or similair turbo on it. I also have a bud that will sell me his front mount intercooler for 75 bucks. i figure i can get the turbo 20 bucks from a friend and a manifold pretty cheap... stick that on, run all the nessicary tubing (intake, downpipe, everything) etc. and fire it up and enjoy some boostin. This sounds very easy....so am i missing a important item to my plan? And if i just run it at a low pressure will my fuel system be good enough providing that i use the highest octane at the pumps?


Thank you!

P.S. : When i get my turbo installed whether it be frankensteined' or kit purchased...how much boost should i have to have a very very very very very blow off valve, and whats the loudest blow of valve on the market? Also, is there any tips/tricks to make the Blow off sound even louder? Thank you!

The cheapest way is buying a kit especially if yo can get one used. In the end you will pay more doing it on your own. It is a huge headache. Just get a kit and you'll be fine. There are many many many parts that are necesary for a turbo kit. Its not as easy as you think. You just cant slap a turbo on a car and make it run right. This has been asked many times before. Check out the thinghs we have seen before section and I am sure you will find some valuable information.

That's not true! It's cheaper and it's fun!

A kit is probably the best route for you to go. I think I just looked at a used kit in the sale section for like $1200 or so.

Don't forget to upgrade the fuel system.

TurboXS makes a really loud blow off valve. The RFL model (stands for really fucking loud).

It has been said before, and I will say it again. If you have to ask these questions you may not be the right person to build a custom turbo kit. Most people that build a custom kit just show up one day with a kit installed. We are here to help, but to tell you the truth, everyone gets tired of answering the same questions. Search the archives and the internet. A turbo kit is a turbo kit, weather it is on a crx or a talon. They work in the same way. Most things that apply to a turbo civic will apply to your car as well. Check out www.howthingswork.com, this site can tell you how your engine works and how a turbo works. Good luck.

ive had to say this to one individual on here about a half a dozen times and im still not sure if he understood, but here ya go: SPEND WEEKS READING EVERY THREAD IN THE ACTIVE AND ARCHIVES OF THE "TURBO" CONFERENCE, THEN COME ASK QUESTIONS AND CHAT WITH US ABOUT BUILDING A CUSTOM KIT. i like helpin people out with the use of my limited turbo knowledge whenver i can, but after i spent all those countless hours reaeding, it only seems fair. and if you REALLY want to put a custom kit on your car, reading the stuff for endless hours shouldnt be very hard. oh and for the record, yeah we aleady know that the search function blows goats.

i am in the middle of building my own kit now. as of today i have almost put together a stage one kit.
i have:
an almost new turbo off a g1
vortech fule pressuer riser
corvett injectors
holly fule pump
and am working on getting the manifold now

a few more parts and ill be boosting for around $1000 (got good deals on parts)so dont give up its hard but you can save enough to buy the bottom end if you take your time and find good deals

If your bumper still has all its paint your not low enough
