How to install a turbo charger(DIY):is it possible?

[Dann Pill]

my friend gave me his old turbocharger since he got a new one from japan. I'm just thinking if i ca install it on my own, my friend told me to leave it to the expert to avoid certain damage on my car... but still i want to try DIY it. any piece of advise?

D.I.Y can be done on this upgrade if you know how to work your way around your cars engine. Plus you have to do an in-depth research on your charger's compatibility with your engine because this ain't as simple as putting in a new stereo.

Also try to fill us in on some details like where is the charger coming from (carmake/engine) and what engine do you plan to bolt it on.

I think that you also have the charger checked/tested first so that you'll know if it still works. It's kinda rare for someone to just give it away.

Good Luck

You can DIY it and end up with a blown engine.

Its not just a matter of adding more air... its a balance of air & fuel... and trying NOT to exceed the limits of your engine block as well.

what's the ride? what turbo brand and size is it? ct?

Of course, anything is possible.

If you have the time, the money, a knowledgable mechanic to assist you, and an exrtra car to temporarily use, go for it. Then share the progress of your work with us.

Good luck,

Meron bang turbo ang car mo ngayon? Palit lang ba ang gagawin?
Kung NA at gusto mo gawin forced induction then yan ang mahirap, pero possible.

Possible. Pero di lang yan basta plug and play. Dami mo pa i-invest to make the turbocharger work efficiently like adding an intercooler, BOV, re-mapping the ECU, re-enforcing the engine block to take the added pressure. Gauges, piping, headers and downpipe..etc..etc.
