I have bought a turbo off of a turbo disel pick up to try and see if i can get it to work on my crx. any suggestions would help.

INJEN78

its just like anyother turbo..you need a manifold,charge pipes,b.o.v,wastegate,intercooler

thats raw , u can do that, is that why all dieasle pick up goo PHSS and u can hear the turbo blow off valve?

Same reason why all other turbo cars make that noise....

My only thought is the turbo lag from a turbo that large on a small engine would be atrocious.

K2e2vin

That's true; most of the people using diesel(semi's) turbos have it on their V8's.

Some diesel turbos aren't that big; I work at Caterpillar and the Front wheel loaders have a moderate sized turbo(probably about the size of a T25). Then again, construction tractors don't have to move as fast as semi's or move as much weight.

i say try it out and see how it performs.
never know, diesel turbo may be the best new performance swap.

I've seen that pic before. I just don't know of a car on the road that would spool that beast.

Don't crx's come with the b16?

hope801

Nope. You're wrong buddy. These come stock in the CRX HF, what planet are you from?

budda

Wow.... Makes me want a CRX

That engine is actually the first thing that came to mind when i saw that turbo.

if you just use a turbo off of a small 4cyl diesel or a 6cyl diesel you shud be fine because thats what im gunna do

Maybe i should pick up one, friend has alot of dying turbo diesel trucks at the Rent-All centre...and yes we spell it centre not center.

Slow&Delirious

what truck did the turbo come off of?
are there any disel cars that come with turbos?

I don't know much of turbos, but diesels make all their power at low rpm, we're talking 2500-3500 rpm.. I would think that a turbo designed to give boost at such low rpm might go nuts in a high strung gas engine.. Entirely a guess, though.


P.S. Is that a train turbo or something?

BoostedHatch

look you dont need a diesel turbo go to the junk yard and pull a turbo off a volvo that will work fine.

Slow&Delirious

he has already bought it

USDM CRX's, no...

The only diesel 'car' that comes to mind with a turbo is the turbo diesel VW's. I.E. Passat, Golf, Jetta.

From a ship.

Slow&Delirious

ship turbo ftw!!!!

how much boost do you think it makes?

B16RacerN2NR

Boost is irrelivent... CFM's is what it's all about...

This is off of like a ford turbo disel pickup not a semi. and I bought it for 35 bucks. used in good shape.... the guy got it from an estate auction and it was in a box that he bought for like 5 bucks. you can go to the link at the bottom to see pics of it. I am also building my own manifold for it out of my stock one im gonna just take some flat steel plate and cut it to mount up to the turbo and one to mount to the manifold then weld pipe to both to make a custom turbo manifold. i plan to run all of my exuast through the turbo (it should spool nicely that way i hope). I figured that it would be better then like the manifolds i have seen that only allow partial of the exuast through the turbo. the turbo is a Schwitzer S1 Turbo Charger by Borg Warner.

most schwitzers come off of john deere diesel tractors so you konw they make the power its just the charge piping may be a little bit of a bitch on that one

holset turbos are common diesel turbos used on hondas.

a while ago i started to built a turbo kit around a holset turbo for my ls/v.

HX35 is a good turbo, do some research it way pay off in the long run.

sevenhillsbilly

you can find the holsets reasonalble off the cummins 5.9 12v engines i was lookin into those or you can get the ones off of the gm 6.5 i think those are garrett

K2e2vin

Man, I hate when people say that!! In this case, yes you'd want to look at flow; but both matters. When you're picking your turbo and you're looking at compressor maps; you'd have to calculate how much boost you want to run and how much flow you need at the desired rpm.

diesel trucks have no bov
