now correct me if i'm wrong but, i found this turbo from a saab 900. it's in really good shape. this guy told me that with the right plumbing (mainly do it myself plumbing) that it would fit my car? can i actually do this? it looks like a nice sized turbo.

turbocharging a car is not a hard thing to do, especially if you're not going to intercool it, yes you can put any type of turbocharger on any kind of car granted you have enough space.. however, you would need a HECK of a lot more stuff than just plumbing.. even boosting at 4 or 5 psi you will need better fuel management, higher flow fuel pump, wastegate(if the saab one doesn't have an internal wastegate) some sort of ignition modification, bov is optional but if u got the money definitely go for it (it sounds soooooooo sweet) a brand new manifold (how bout giving your old headders to me :p) oil lines and stuff, and much more...
sorry to ramble on, but i just want you to know you need way more than a few pipes and lines to get a turbo working properly... just my :2cents:

Ok I heard if u drill a whole in your muffler u could get a sound. My question is where do i drill it and how big should it be. Or should i just go to AutoZone and buy a cheep crap?

if you put a hole anywhere in your exhaust system it will become very loud, and very non-carb legal. if you're looking for a loud exhaust system and don't care about being street legal, rip the baffles out of your muffler.. that'll make you nice and loud, and a cop magnet.. my suggestion would be to buy a good quality cat back system or do nothing at all

Well i guess ill just have to buy one...do u know from what range it will go for me...i got this car like 7 months ago...so i realy dont know anything about this stuff...Its an automatic...nothing big...just to show off and not race...
DeleriousZ
03-30-2004, 04:37 PM
it depends what kinda quality of muffler you want to get, if you want to get the whole cat-back system, or if you can get pipes custom made for you... a decent catback system (tanabe) will go for around 500ish.. a universal muffler will be about 220(tanabe) or if u want to go cheap just go to canadian tire.. or if you're in the states, pep boys or autozone or something.. just take a look around and ask some of the guys that work there.. i'm sure they'll be happy to help u out

Well cool...I might just go cheap for now untill i can find out what i want...i have a stock right now...its all good but i want some sound...ive been looking for tail lights and pep boys or autozone dont have them...i need Acura Type R tail lights...have any idea who might have them...or should i just order some from Import Tuner Magazine?

alright.. first of all, i gotta get this off my chest... RICE!! FREAKING SOY SAUCE RICE!!!.. before doing that... why don't you spend your money on some performance parts? no disrespect, but i can't stand it when people make their car look 'good' without having something under the hood to back it up...
AcuraIntegra1999
04-01-2004, 02:06 PM
The only reason im not getting performance parts is becouse i have 7 tickets and 8 points on my license and im not willing to lose the license for racing...and i dont have the money to pay for that stuff and i have no clue what parts i need and any of that kind of stuff...first im gonna worry about the look then add the other stuff...

instead of blowing money on altezza lights which make any car look worse than stock, how about you spend it on some nice rims or how about a 2 inch drop?
AcuraIntegra1999
04-01-2004, 10:23 PM
Sound good, 2 inch drop...dont know how or were to do it...new to this stuff
op012503

lowering the car a few inches improves both looks and handling. To do that you need new springs and shocks. check out modacar.com, they probably have everything you're looking for and you might get some ideas...

And ive seen alot of your bullshit posts trying to give other poeple advice like you know anyting about cars......and if you dont have money, dont go telling other poeple that they are ricers cuase they dont either ya jerk off.

ok, first of all, i joined af to learn about cars, and to learn, you ask questions.. to ask questions you usually have to post something.. then you have to reply to the post. second of all, i give advice that i got from others, educated others. they're not bullshit, they're researched. as for the ricer's comment, maybe that was a little harsh, but what i'm saying is that if you have a little bit of money, don't spend it on things that are; in the end, worthless. save your money and buy something worthwhile.
i only give advice that i'm sure about. i have only posted one flame/bad post and i regret it. i don't come here to talk shit, i come hear to learn and talk tech. give it a rest

as for the chrome tip on the stock exhaust.. it's not a stock exhaust. it's some pos that the previous owner put on there.. i'm going to replace it, i just haven't had the time or money.

Why do people dog people who go for looks and not performance? If a person has no desire to race or drive fast at all, why should they spend the money on performance parts, if they don't NEED them? It's kinda like the Z28 and Cobra owners calling us wannabes' or ricers for adding bolt ons to our cars. There is no need for it. Everone does something to their car for a reason.Cuz it's what they like. If someone throws on a muffler and THINKS their car is fast, then I can see the point. But for someone who only wants looks, let it be.

Thanks for that...as i said befor i dont need anymore tickets...so i just wanna look good driving my car...if i ever diside to race ill do something about...
