as some of you may know, i recently totalled a turbo chrysler new yorker. i have been told by a few people that i should use the turbo off the chrysler.

now my question is this... say i do decide to take the turbo from the chrysler and custom fit it to my civic. what would i need? what kind of power gains could i expect? what boost levels would that small ass turbo produce? i'm sure the gains won't be extreme, but since i have the turbo already, maybe i can gain 50 or so horse for a few hundred dollars and have a nasty bov too

someone help me make this reality.

what do i need to remove from chrysler and what do i need to buy to make it fit and work with the civic? my main 2 questions there.

hopefully if this works, it'll hold me over until i get my swap + real turbo kit.

 

'Chrysler' turbo in a Civic. Is that moral? I don't know too much about building a custom turbo with your own parts, but I'm sure you can make it work?

 

you can get a better idea how a turbo works from here..

goto www.homemadeturbo.com they have part list for all their project, and all are custom made turbo setups

 

not that this has anything to do with your question, but your car is dope!

 

thanks for the links and comments. i've already started reading a lot on homemadeturbo.com and for less than $200 they made a civic run high 14's. thats pretty damn good and it's all i'm really looking for.

i want to try and use as much from the junk yard as possible. it'll stay cheap and i won't woory as much about buying new parts online and not knowing if they fit.

i'll keep everyone updated when i can get a group of friends who will help me and we begin work on this project. but more help from you guys is still very good.

 

I made a custom kit for my CRX. I Also just got done making a custom turbo adapter for another guy, check the engine tech forum for the pics and write up.

 

not sure i'm finding the write up you're talking about. but do you make adapter plates? i need one for an hf manifold. not sure about the turbo yet though.
