turbo with out a tune?
turbo with out a tune?
im sorry bout asking this on our cobalt site but im at a loss. A friend of mine just bougt a turbo kit for his mid 90's honda civic hatch 1.6 
i know,but it's what he wanted.
Any who he bought a "complete kit" from some freakin internet site it was turbonetics kit. But it said nothing about tuning, it didnt come with a hand held nore did it say anything about shippin ecm in for reflash, Nothing! He wanted to just throught it on and drivie it im like woe nelly no sir dont sound like a smart thing to do! but it turned out that night he was lacking enough pipe for the exhaust so it didnt turn out any way.
But ever hear of a turbo kit with out the neccesity of tunning?????

Depending how much boost he wanted to run, you can get by without tuning. You can use a FPR and Missing Link. Then just use the dizzy to back off timing. Very ghetto, but it works if you want to be cheap.
its a t3t4 kit, dont know how much boost he plans on running. IMO regardless i think it should get tuned before he runs it, should'nt spend that money just to have a half cocked jimmy rigged turbo lol
but thanx for the help guys, thought i was right. But im not a honda guy so i want positive!

lol i hate to say it but one of my buddys with a turbo scion tc and one with a turbo d17 civic are both running like 6-8 lbs and have no tuning, been almost a year now and they beat on them but it still not a good idea.
