Turbo Projects

[mr kawa]

how many people have experience with daily turbo's?..i drive my car during the weekends, but around oktober till april i need the car as a daily. i think i make around 6000-7000km a year.
to be honest there are so many factors to keep in mind to make it a relayable, but assuming the factors as cooling/low boost (thinking about 150/160 hp) good maintenace and a good ecu tune.
how realistic is this sins the car is not specific build for a turbo?
what kind of a change of maintenace are we looking at?


and the last thing; sorry for my english

7000 km a year is nothing, i've been pulling 10000 a year with my turbo setup, you just need to change the oil more often, but in the 5000 km range or 6 months. The tune is the key, but if you dont exeed 160 hp, there's no reason for it not to be reliable

I'm driving 30.000 - 40.000 km a year with my daily Honda Civic Coupe with D16Y7 turbo (@ 0.6 bar). Going strong for already 1.5 years now without any big problems. Just doing regular maintenance to keep the engine and car in good condition

what turbo are you using?

im planning on using a T04e on a cast topmount manifold.
t3 housing with a 50A/R copressor and a 63A/r exhaust housing.

anyone got some experience with different turbos?
