actually the acura integra (non-vtec) is the same CR as the TC. only the vtec models have the higher CR (compression ratio for the idiots)

ZPI sends you with a brand new oil pan already with an oil line to the turbo

So only an idiot wouldn't know that CR stands for Compression Ratio?

Thanks for letting this idiot know.

noob question: how does the oil get pumped to the turbo. i dont think there is oil pressure in the oil pan when it is a wet sump system

I think those who ask if they can install it themselves..........shouldn't.

I mean no offense in saying that.

Word. Some people scare me

While I agree with you guys on that a person that asks questions how easy is the install and weatehr they can do it themselves shouldnt install a turbo. I dont agree that you should just tell the person that he cant do it. Derect them in the right way to learn about the setup and how to do it. I started out just like him but now I think with a lot of time and a few mistakes I can do the install.

Read as many articles on turbos as you can until you fully understand how a turbo setup works and what is needed to set it up like change the header to manifold waste gate, oil lines, vacume hoses and so on. I think if you read up enough then you should install the zpi kit with minimal mistakes. Also look for help from people who have done the install like sciondad helped quite a few people on installs and there is a thread in f/i forums of someone posting their experiences with the kit and commom mistakes.

Get as ready as possible and everything should work out.

BTW performance shops arent necessarily any better, I know tons of people that blew their money away for the installation and ended up having the same problems that people get when they install kits themselves unless you can get zpi themsleves to install or a performance shop that you personaly know dont waste money on it.
