Status: offline 		im kinda new to the turbo tech and specs but i do no most of the basics. i wuz wonderin if you gonna go the twin turbo route on your car if two differnt sized turbos is gonna be effective. a smaller one so there is less spool up and less lag, then a larger one to produce the heavy boost to really get goin. I thought i herd something like that somewhere so i thought id ask. thanks

6thgen's photo gallery 		Twin turbo on 4cyl...unnecessarily expensive and counterproductive. Twin turbo wouldn't be as safe and effective as a single turbo setup on your engine.

Status: offline 		Okay, thanks. Im lookin to get about 300 horses out of the engine. I know it will take alot more than just a turbo but that will help the numbers signifacantly. I am planning on redoin the entire engine, cams, gears, pullies, crank, valve springs, ect... Do you guys recomend any turbo kits in particular? I was kinda eyein the turbonetics turbo kit but am still resarchin so any suggestions will be takin with appreciation.

6thgen's photo gallery 		To maintain 300whp on a 150hp car you'll be safer going with the Drag Gen IV kit. It's easier to upgrade the fuel system and management. Which will save you money in the end, but you'll need a OBD1 conversion and Hondata (need good experienced technician for this) or AEM EMS (standalone) and bigger injectors. along with a few other goodies involving fuel and internals. Or you coudl go custom, it'd cost the same if not less! Don't forget a clutch that can hold the power and torque.

Status: offline 		The 8th digit over is a 3. I do now have an Ingen Technology RD cold air intake and flomaster exhasust and i love the way they sound together but anyway... With a turbo, am i gonna have to get turbo head gaskets or any special stuff that may not come in the kit to prevent problems in the future?

Status: offline 		Right. Things like intercooler, upgraded fuel components, upgraded ignition components, stronger internals to take the wear and tear of all the extra pressure, ect... I was just wonderin if i needed to get any special gaskets, seals, or things of that nature that may not come in a kit.

6thgen's photo gallery 		Stock Honda gaskets are fairly efficient for low boost. There are performance gaskets out there if you want one or if you want to lower the compression a little.
