old motor + turbo ='s

say u have 160,000mi. adding a turbo would be a.... good or bad idea?

First, get rid of the Bosch plugs before they fry your ignition coil, then post compression test numbers for us to evaluate.

get under ur car and take out the oil pan, check the inside of the engine, if it looks clean... then that's good (this is just one of the things to do, not the only one)... also follow falkore's advise... get NGK. make sure the timing belt is in good condition, and check the the pulleys, also make sure u have a good tranny. at least in good condition. uuuhhhhmmmm.... i think that's it...

A transmission cooler is a must for a automatic transmission.  Failure to get one, if you do turbo your car will make your tranny wear out prematurely.

and use of the search function on the site.....  cause failure to use it adds needless repeat questions and needless repeat answers and constant showing that you dont read forum provided information ^_^

well im working on getting the new plugs I just need to go into town and get them. but my compression is something like    161,158,160,162 I did it like 2 weeks ago and just had all new belts including TB and TB tensioner all of it. soooo

Compression #'s look good.

19Accord97: do u know where I can get a GOOD tranny cooler? i've seen a few and ask around and no one had a good answer, so i just wanted to know if u knew
 P.S: i did my research, and been looking for one for 5 months now, so im pretty desperate right now...

It's the Hayden 403 .... been putting that one off, but I'm thinking that I have to get off my arse on this and the multi-changes.

so u say it'd be safe for the turbo? if so what type?

eh, the 405 is the largest you can get, for that line so i guess it would be prepairing for 100+hp then ^_-

I know what you mean, but does it fit???  Since this part is in addition to the stock cooler, anything is an improvement.  I had been under the assumption that the 403 was chosen for fitment rather than performance.  The 403 is the tranny cooler of choice in all of the DIY's that I have read for our cars, so I'd just go with that.

I would imagine so.  You may want to talk to KevinAccord on that one.  He DIY'd his.  It's cheapest to piece it together rather than buying a kit.  A kit will cost roughly twice as much as piecing it together would cost.

im here! what do u need to know? i'll let u know that it's not too hard to do it... and guys, thanx 4 the cooler info... getting mine if a few days...

403 tranny cooler and turbo would be no prob?

yeap... u did do the compression check, so there should be no prob...

where should I get one?

at autozone or pepboys or something like that...

how much do they cost?

sorry, no idea... it's not expensive, im sure of that...

I think their about $35.

Also, I think that Velo is selling a 404 or 405.

sweet thats not bad. whats the diff. between a 404 or 405
