yeah, typical spots are under the intake plenium, or inside the flywheel,...stay within 8 lbs of boost however, you dont want any external detonation......

Those electric ones are really awesome.

Do a search in the performance section. One person with a turbo. Takes time and MONEY. Would need to be totally custom.

Legend230 · 11-23-04, 02:39 PM

None have ever been completed to our knowledge. Because of this and how often we get asked this question you got some smart answers. If it has not been done in over 13 years, you could say it would be difficult.

...be ready to spend between $6k to $10 in total parts, engineering, fabrication, installation, and most important, engine management and tuning. If you don'ta have that kind of loot available, don't even ask....

honda NA engine are best
i change Head gasket one my legend , i'm enjoy working on it
but turbo car
nissan 300zx twin turbo are sick . guys, don't ever buy those.
Even N/A 300zx design are crap. i'm curse while working

,
but damn i like how the body look .

turbo cars are just bad, it only good for 1 or 2 yrs after that

fixing

so stay with N/A cars regular mod should be enough.

a well tuned F/I car will last very long.

Bad tuning on a good car will be worse than good tuning on an okay car.

I agree.

To do this, it is going to take a lot of work. we have very long runners on our intake manifold, making us an ideal candidate for a turbo. But when our ecu sees boost, it shuts the car off. The guy who built a supercharged legend, and the turbocharged legend have both had problems with that. You will have to find a way to disable the map sensor, and still make the ecu add extra fuel to compensate for the air coming in. Most of your issues will be with ecu tuning i believe, getting the parts and getting it fabbed up will be the easy part. Actually making it run right and tuning it to get any real power will be difficult.
