im assuming that it is an evo 8 correct? if so, they came with 16g turbos and fmic stock, so i would say if they are in good condition then it is well work it. make sure the turbo has no shaftplay.

yes you will need to get a manifold. Several places sell them, it all depends on what style you want or how much you are willling to spend.

Its not the head that you have to worry about hurting, unless if you mean for the added weight of the turbo, in which case, no you dont have to worry. What you need to worry about is the block and that it is strong enough to whitstand the boost pressures that you throw at it.

someone said manafoild was like 800
and the turbo spins back word lol but the hx head runs 12 vavlkes tell 3200 and would i have to block the egr valve and can it be p28 and chiped cuz i think that the head
would b gangster

[96civichx]

ok sorry what all do i need to do if i wanna turbo the hx head cuz it has egr vavle and rollor rockers thats good though but should i use stock cheap or go with p28 and is there anyway i can change the 12 vlave to 16 at all times and change vtec points

[96civichx]

would i have to change the waste gate

[Projectturboex]

the turbo is a reverse-scroll turbo so you would have to get a custom manifold, and your bottom end will be fine ive been boosting mine on 9-10lbs (stock for 6 months) (grantite i have a really good tune.) i wouldnt go half a@@ on the turbo or manifold, if you really want to cut some costs make your own ic piping from jegs U bends, and DP as well, get a good EMS like hondata, and youll be set, you can also piece together an oil feed line at a local hardware store.

[96civichx]

how much for a ehxaust manifold so that turbo would work

[ryan89crx]

well you are going to have to get one custom made. the turbine inlet is a divided inlet that looks all funky. im sure BMC or JGfab someone should have them

[SpoolinSol]

maybe swap in a 16v head?

[boostdeliquent]

Yeah, for the head find a B7 atleast unless you want to do a mini-me. In that case go w/ the Z6. You'll also want a better flowing intake manifold such as the Z6 or Y8. For the engine managment, do a OBD2 to OBD1 conversion and run the PO6 if you're notec and the P28 for vtec. You can get Uberdata and Crome for free on pgmfi.org and I'm sure there are people on here that can help you with the tuning aspect of it.
