Like tittle says I just purchased a turbo kit a few days ago, it supposed to arrive in 2 weeks. The kit comes with a mani, turbo, Intercooler w/piping, wastegate, bov, silicone couplers, t bolt clamps, oil feed w/thermo sleeve, return line assembly and a 3" downpipe w/ flex section. While I wait for the kit to come in, I would have to prepare my JDM H22 motor. As for preparing so far I got, AEM fuel rail, AEM FPR, ARP head studs. Things I would need to purchase are: AEM EMS, Walbro fuel pump, injectors, plugs and wires and an ignition.
Hopefully I am going the right route with this project. I would like to know if I would be missing anything or anything you guys would recommend getting. While i am preparing the engine what should I do to it before installing the kit.
P.S All this will be done on a stock block, aiming for 300 whp @ 8-9 PSI.
The kit is from phoenix turbo. The kit came with the Blowzilla t3/gt40 turbo, the guy took the bigger turbo im not sure if its t3 or t4. And I am planning on running an AEM as my EMS.
I paid 2000 for the kit off ebay. The kit does come with the intercooler piping but it was ment for a h22 in civic chassis might have a few minor adjustments to make.
300hp on stock internals...You do not think this is a good idea? with a good tune i would have thought it would be great.
Why wont I need a fuel rail, fpr and head studs. Just asking cause I was told I do need them.
I wouldnt do fuel rails unless you were built motor pushing over 400hp looking for every inch of hp and need to supply. I had stock ignition on an accord motor just running 2 step colder plugs and 8.5 MSD wires with a good tune on an FMAX kit, ran great. I would suggest looking for a clutch for sure though if your 5speed.
Lets say I do put them on will it be better than the stock components, or make it worse?
Eh, it's just a waste of money. The stock rail supports 400+ whp. You don't need to adjust your fuel pressure since you will be using larger injectors and the EMS. And why pull the head if you don't have to?
If you're set on using these things, then use them. You asked for advice, and I'm telling you that you don't need these parts.
