so can you send me a picture of this kit? or system . im intrested. how hard would it be to do a blow through system? anyway im starting my rebuild today. im in process of takeing things apart. but yeah what all are you doing. i would like to completly rebuild the eb3 and then turbo it. i hear boreing the eb3 head is not nessecary. but it would make it easyer to get pistongs and whatnot. anyway let me know i would like to have helpful information while im rebuilding. thanks

guys there is a turbo kit for the EB engines. it uses the stock intake and exhaust manifolds. it is a draw through system with no intercooler. an intercooler is not necessary with boost under 9-10 psi and cannot be done with a drawthrough system. a BOV also cannot be done with a drawthrough system. a drawthrough system is easier to do but you cannot run a BOV or an intercooler. and it does not take much work to do a push through system. i am in the process of building an "all out" turbo motor. and when i am done i will be as fast or faster than Angus.

Factory blowoff valves(like the eclupse) blow directly back into the air induction, this may be the way to go, however you may get an over rich mixture this way. Idunno, just ideas

it doesnt matter if its road leagal.
and yeah i understand how the turbo works im just trying to figure out a set up that would be best for the engine.
so if you put the carb befor the turbo, would you be able to have a blow off vauve? because it you have a vent to atmospher, then it would release a mist of gass and air and that wouldnt be good .
anyway yeah im readling up on it all but im just trying to look into many sources, and since i wanted to put it on he civic then i figured i would ask here.
but yeah so ill check it out. thanks bro

malcom man you really are getting hammed but i know what your saying but its really a hard quest. to answer. an intercooler isnt a have to have rather a better option you really should read up on how a turbo works before anything though. For now though they are basically a turbine spun by exhaust gases conected on the opposite side to a compressor which forces air into the combustion chamber. The intercooler simply cools the air before going in so it is more dense (the denser the air the more that fits in ,hence more power)its much easier toput the carby before the turbo so that you dont have as many dramas sealing the carby due to the extra pressure .The carby set up will work but i would say save your cash and go injected much easier to tune .Its all about the cash though and i would definately say talk to a pro man ,not just a mechanic but a turbo specialist matching the turbo to the requirements is the most important thing good luck mate

And bodged though that civic may be, it is NOT road leagal. Well, maybe in Chille, but not in the US!

I think you should go research boosted engines for a bit. When you actually have the faintest idea what you are talking about, then think about building it...

ok, isnt it bad for the turbo to not have an intercooler? it seems kinda harsh to have the exhaust going right back into the turbo so fast.? i was thinking about running a small intercooler between the manifold and the turbo with a water sprayer on the intercooler made from modified window squirters? anyway if its not nessecary then ill save the money...also is it better to run pull throught or push through set up? i see alot of pull through with the carb set up? thanks man

here is a pic of a chilean civic turbo, with a pretty reasonable budget

adrian, im aware that they do not make a kit for an eb engine. by kit i ment getting the turbo, blow off, intercooler and stuff in one package deal or somthing. so yeah, and i know that you can "bodgie" a manifold. but it can be done, right. and i would like to do a pull through set up so it would be a little easyer i think. i would just need to make a manifold for the top of the turbo and the bottom of the carb...but that needs alot of planning and fabrication...its all on the drawing board right now so just let a kid dream ok. cool your jets man. later

shnitzel, thanks bro

go look at the 2nd gen board on the string " Engine swap info needed.... "

i did exactly wehat you want to know... all the info is there. i am presently switching the system into a 2nd gen civic.

How fat is your credit card? You are talking serious dollars to turbo an EB engine properly. There is no such thing as a turbo kit for an EB engine, you need to make everything! You can't just bodgie up a manifold from old bits of exhaust pipe and then expect it to work. What would you do with the internals of the engine? What sort of fuel system would you be planning to use?

Just ask Angus how much he's spent on his engine ... you'll run for the hills screaming!

i have calmed down on a moter swap and decided it would be more fun to build the eb3 and possably turbo it. so on that note, if i got a turbo, blow off, waste gate, and intercooler, couldnt i fabricate all the pluming? becuase im sure that would be cheeper than buying a kit. or it seems to be. anyway how would i hook that up, do you have any pictures? thanks alot man i could make an exhaust manifold i would just need a template or somthing. i diagram would help tons, thanks
