I recently sold my civic and kept the turbo kit and now want to use all the parts and fab up a rear mount turbo set up. do u think this is possible? i still have the turbo, wastegate and bov. what else would i need besides a scavage pump for the oil, a t3/t4 turbo flange ,custom pipe bent to fit and a nelson custom tune.??? Any help would be greatly appretiated ... thank you

 

well i would think that the turbo from the civic may be too small, what size is it?

 

That might be an understatement!!!
Your gonna need injectors, and possibly a boosta pump depending on what boost you want. Seriously I think your gonna need a bigger turbo, that things gonna max out at idle!!

 

not necessarily, theres a guy i know that has a bigger turbo on his civic than what im running rear mount on my truck. Whats the specs on the turbo?

 

its a T3/T4 its actually bigger than the one in my oys cummins deisel

 

T3/T4 is the flange size

What is the compressor wheel, Exhaust Housing A/R, etc, etc.

 

He's saying that it's a t3/t4 hybrid like my stage III 60-1s. Still need the compressor wheel size and the A/R to know for sure, but most 5.3 kits are happy with stage I 60-1s or GT35s.

 

So your 60-1's have a t3 flange on them?

The way I understand it, is this, a T3/T4 has an exhaust housing of a T3 sized turbo, but the compressor housing from a T4. This allows a quicker spool up with a larger compressor wheel. The down size is that the exhaust can run out of flow before the compressor does, but that's why they're usually found in smaller displacement engines where a higher PR is needed/desired.

 

PR...?
btw thanks for the T3/T4 explanation. Your explanation cleared up a couple questions I had running through my head, just didn't catch the PR part.

 

PR=pressure ratio
