Turbos are a generic part, meaning they aren't meant for any specific car. If you got a manifold with a T3 flange than any HKS turbo with a T3 flange would fit. If you got a manifold with a T4 flange than any HKS turbo with a T4 flange would fit. Assuming it is not too big to fit in the space.

Exclamation

I suggest searching because you seem to know little no nothing about a turbo set up. Learn how a whole turbo system works. Then start doing research on what power goals you want. How much money you want to spend. It's not just as simple as getting a turbo kit and slapping it on your honda. You have to factor in tuning solutions. If your going to use a full EMS or how you are going to adjust your a/f ratio....and the list goes on.

Search search search...all the info is out there at your fingertips.

^ + 1.. You can't just be cut & dry about a turbo setup. There are MANY ways of doing it, knowing the principles of how the parameters of a good setup work is a good start.

You can enlighten yourself by reading this about 5 times in a row then coming back to ask something legitimate:

G2IC Turbo Guide - A Guide to Turbocharging your Honda / Acura Integra



To give you a better clue, a .57 or .60 trim Turbonetics or Garrett would work fine on a stock block at no more than 7psi, and a FLAWLESS tune. That should get you started..

I have the same engine as you do - boosted.

I coulda sworn i read somewhere that our block can handle up to 18psi? Was it probably just talking about the block and not the actual internals?

Yeah, block as in sleeves can probably handle up to 18psi. Piston rings fry at 9-11 psi depending on mileage, how the engine is maintained, and of course the A/F ratio of the tune.

im not trying to hijack the thread but what would be a good starting point to boost a F23A1 just for better gas mailage or is it pointless?

Truth. I have to say though, I got 28mpg even boosting in my 6G, and before I got the same mileage too. So depends how it's done and how often you boost, and how much you are pushing, and also on the way it is tuned.
