Ok. I've done the first Rule of searching, and yet to find a straight answer.
Just bought my first 2G\420A. 49k Miles on motor, 216k on chassis, pulled Valve Cover, and Oil pan, and was Clean as a whistle.
I've put zero wrench time on any sort of turbo car, and I've only driven one turbo car which was a Bone Stock 1994 RX7 Twin Turbo, I did Drive it quite a bit tho.
So that Being said, I know the basic's of turbocharging, yanno block can only hold soo much PSI or BOOST before it blows a HG or throws a rod or something, and you need inter cooler, and run Premium gas and blah blah good idea to have head studs yada yada etc etc..
I'm looking for a complete detailed parts list for a Turboing a 420A.
I'm not talking anything crazy.
Just running 5-8....at most 10 PSI. or what ever would be safe to run a stock motor (Stock w\ Head Studs, and a Good Head Gasket that is) I want to be able to drive it Daily Still with out worrying about it blowing.
so Obvious parts
14B Turbo (would it be a good idea to get something smaller or would it be fine?)
BOV (if turbo doesn't have stock BOV which mine does.)
Turbo Manifold
Turbo Down Pipe
FMIC
IC Piping
Fuel Pump (What LPH rating of a pump should i get? the usual 255lph?)
Injectors (Do I need it if I'm not running Crazy Boost?)
Boost Controller (Heard it wasn't necessary w\ a stock BOV?)
and then add in things like
Spark Plugs + Wires
Free Mods
Intake
Exhaust System (Most likely a Home Made Side Exit Exhaust )
What am I missing? and do you think I'd be insane? I don't know much about the 420A, but I had a 4G37 1.8L that was rumored could hold zero boost at all but it's been proven you can drive it daily on a max of 8lbs PSI on a stock motor except a fresh Head Gasket w\ Head Studs (Usually a Thicker head gasket to lower the Compression Ratio)
Please help, I did use the Search button but couldn't Find anything.
they need a Detailed Standard Part List for turboing your 420A that a Turbo Noob such as myself could understand *Hint Hint*
If It's too much of a hassle tho Drive the motor hard till it blows up or Sell it, and then buy a Turbo 6 Bolt swap, and drop it in there.
No offense 420A-guys but I'm not a Fan of a 420A just came across a Nice DSM for a Nice price .
