So I had a turbo civic before i purchased my S. I sold it because I kept over heating in the middle of the freeway during summer. Now I am planning to turbo charge my S coz I miss boost! My question is, do any of you guys ever have heating problems with your turbo? With the turbo, is it still okay to use the AC? I need the AC once summer hits. I couldn't use my AC in my civic coz then it over heats after like 10-20mins.

Thanks,
Francis

 

I don't know much about turbos but Greddy turbo kit just got carb legal for cali

 

i have the greddy turbo and so far its working fine, no overheating problems as well, although the underhood temps do get a little high. some people get vented hoods to keep them down.

 

hey cloud,

how long have u had ur turbo? have u tried turning on ur AC for a while and see if you overheat?

That is some great news! I'm curious, would running higher boost keep it from being carb legal?

 

I've been hesitating to buy bolt ons in my car, but since its now carb legal I might look into it, but I doubt its for the 06+ S2000's.

 

Hey ken,

i had a edelbrock (how ever u spell that)kit. It was straight legal with greddy evo exhaust.

 

Try the FI forums, there is some good infomation in there. I wish you luck as I can't get my engine to hold up stock Always best to start with a turbo charged base and then upgrade.
