The turbo probably cost more than the car is worth. No it is not worth it. Take the money you would spend on that and get a car that already has power.
Turbos are not simple setups. You could completly destroy your engine if you don’t know what you are doing. I’d guess by your question that you don’t understand how they work, because how much “faster” you can go depends on what psi you run, how you size your turbo, and if your drivetrain can support that power. Buy the book Maximum Boost by Corky Bell and read it.
Personally, I wouldn’t do it. It’s an old front wheel drive car that’s not particularly special.
Yes, go with a garrett research single turbo setup and adjust the wastegate for about 20 psi. Intercooler, 550cc injectors, etc. Should be really fast – for about 5 seconds, than watch all your money explode in front of you.
Really, it’s not worth doing anything to a car that is that old especially a run of the mill Honda.
if u got a lot of money and time, and money, go for it. it’s probably not worth the work and the amount of time you put into it tho. halfway through, ur gona hate yourself for making the decision
Is it worth it….no not really. altho u can piece together a junk yard turbo kit to save u money. but u really need to know bout turbo systems….get the book an do some reading
no
