Info on turbo type stuff?

As much as possible really ha. I don't wanna spend a tonnnnnn of $$$. What I really want is that pshhh noise, I thinks its the blow off valve. It sounds badass, but do u have to get a turbo for that? But then if I just get the blow off valve that's kinda being a "poser." Lol.

Yes, that is the blow off valve that makes that noise. So you really want to spend money on a turbo kit just to get a blow off valve?

You have a B18B1. I suggest you get a compression or leak down test before you start your turbo build.

Well no, I also want more power.

What will those tests do? Where do I do that at? How much $?

Thanks. I'm thinking I should prob get a new motor before I turbo it, cuz 206,000 miles is a lottt haha.

That's nothing. I got 224K. You can always overhaul the motor too. It's cheaper than buying a new one.

I think. It sucks air in through the turbo and pushes more air into the cylinders. Correct?

 

[Ballerin1]

Yea, but its only a 4 cylinder motor. Wouldn't it be better to buy a used v6/v8? Then turbo that?

What's wrong with boosting a 4-banger?

How about you just sell the teg and buy a subie or and evo, then just put a BOV and be a clueless noob like 90% of the people who drive them.

If you wanna learn you gotta read son! I read at least ONE new bit of car knowledge every night. Or I go out and wrench on my car. The links with all those articles have everything you need to know. Turbo 101 is the first thing you should read.

And if I were you I'd look into getting a full kit the first time, not doing a custom one. Although custom kits are better for experienced people, a pre-assembled kit like the GReddy kit: http://greddy.com/products/display/?Category=turbo&SubCategory=15

Would be good for you because it's bolt-on.

**edit: you're gonna want to completely rebuild that motor before you boost. COMPLETELY lol.
