GSR preparation for Turbo

Hello Everyone....

I have a 96 GSR engine in my 97 Civic. I am getting the engine ready for turbo and I wanted to know exactly everything that I would need to change to get the engine and turbo running at max speed.

I was thinking of getting eagle rods, JE 9.0:1 pistons, Shunk2 stage 2 camshafts, Skunk2 valuatrain set and Skunk2 Camgears and anything else that I need to add or I missed. Thanks for the help and advise.

from what i've heard you will NOT want to go skunk2 cams... way way way too much overlap... go for some turbo cams... can't remember who makes em, it's 3.30 in the mornin and i'm not thinkin straight

crower got some nice "turbo" cams. you dont want something too radical on your car. You definately missed a fuel system up above, you will also need some kind of a piggy back ecu or an rising rate pressure riser, injectors, pump. Look around on E-Bay for ECU's, I got a good deal on my Hondata from there for only like $150.00 more than an VAFC. Your gonna need an exhaust and gagues (good gagues arent cheap). Eagle rods and JE pistons are a great combo....stick with them. You should send your block out and have it sleeved for turbo use to ensure that you havent wasted your $$ on pistons and rods just to destroy them. Your stock clutch will not last very long so that will die soon after you add boost unless you drive like a granny.

I decided to go with the Crower Stage II turbo cams. Also I wanted to know which cat back to go with the Tusdo Fireball or the Skunks2 system. Will the DC 4-1 header work well the one of those two cat backs?

Tusdo Fireball....wtf is that....if you are going turboyou will need a 3" exhaust unless u wanna choak on the top end......im guessing you dont know too much about turbos cause you dont use a header on a turbo car...you use a turbo manifold. I think before you go and spend your money, go invest in a couple books mainly "turbocharging" and basic engine knowledge type of book to give you some head up about engines.

Sorry guys......by the way, I have my kit up for sale if you are interested
