Turbos?

alright so im putting together a wish list for my 03 cl-s-6. And one thing i have been thinking about is a turbo because id rather do that than upgrade to a 3.6-3.7L. Anyone already have one in their cl? Details along with that would be great. Also anyone that has a vast knowledge of turbos input would be great. Thanks!

everything will basically be custom, so they take alot more work to get running properly, compared to a supercharger





edit: so you gotta be willing to put in the work, in order to do it properly

Honestly, if you dont know anything about turbo's you shouldnt even be considering it.

google first, and do your homework.
like the guys said, its gonna take a lot of money and time.

you also have to be a gear head. you will always be under your hood wrenching.
you always have to have it running right. it takes a special breed to be constantly tuning.

x2 plus low comp is what i would recommend. some nice 9:1 pistons will go a long way.

lowering the compression will net you lower performance N/A but as soon as you go turbo....BEAST MODE ACTIVATE

You're 18. You aren't gonna turbocharge your CL.

And what do you expect to tune this with? Are your hands controlled by God himself?

And you'd make it about a block before the automatic transmission would shit itself.

but they are in lightweight civics and such, not the full weight CL or TL though

so it makes a huge difference in how long an automatic will be able to hold the power
