What for fuel management?... And also althought theyre not needed, running a turbo without a BOV and IC, can be asking for problems... THey jus tmake it safer, and more efficient, longer lasting...

you could run cold start injector for xtra fuel.... you don't have to have intercooler if you are running small amount of boost but you need bov

If you only install a turbo, with no controls or fuel management, I guarantee the motor will not last 1 week.

Do it right, or don't bother.

blink.gif wow, 10 psi sounds like a lot with no type of fuel management.

I'd try more like 6-7 psi, even though , i personally, wouldnt run turbo without proper management.

ya you can do it just fine without an intercooler or bov, but engine management is crucial. if you wanna go ghetto style, and i think you do, then just get an appropriate fmu and start at 5 pounds. i wouldnt go much higher. you could do that whole set up for real cheap, but it wouldnt be that fast so i dont see the point.

This is my setup im building,

T25 turbo
Fabricated Equal Length Exhaust Manifold
Ford Probe intercooler
HKS blow off valve
MSD6AL
MSD BTM
MSD High Pressure Fuel Pump
Vortech 12:1 FMU
Rising Rate FPR
Integra Injectors
1 Step Colder Spark Plug
2 1/2 Exhaust Pipe For Charge Pipeing

Should be good for a safe 10psi of boost and done for only 1500 bucks canadian.

I would suggest a 14b turbo off of a first gen DSM(talon, eclipse).......it is a more reliable turbo if you want to stay on the small side. Plus, it spools quite nicely, better than the t25.

I need the top end that the t25 will give me. My acceleration is great but i loose power in the top, thats why i picked a t25.

the 14b spools slower than a t25, but it flows more for the given boost.. and if you plan to run 10psi don't expect your stock motor to last long. biggrin.gif

the best turbo for the money(my opinion) for the small natured honda engines would probably be an IHI RHB5 turbo the most boost ur going to run without intercooler woulb be around 6-8psi in cool weather just get a cheep I/C from ebay ~$30 ....i know i forgot some things but im tired so w/e tongue.gif

With a step colder plugs, MSD ignition upgrade, BTM, and vorteck fmu WITH a rising rate FPR, 10psi will be plenty safe.
