    Removing a turbo kit on an em1?

    im currently considering buying an em1 and found a nice looking one in victoria
    link: http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/...20vti&trecs=16

    but the problem is the guy has a turbo kit installed and as a p plater im not allowed to drive turbo. the seller assures me that it is quite easy to remove to return the engine back to stock but i just want to make sure.
    the turbo kit is fitted on the engine bay and has a front mount intercooler.
    how hard wud it be to remove?

    its easy to remove, its just that what might happen afterwards lol... im sure u can find other EM1's that aint as modded as this one an still be able to drive

    With the oil pan, u can either replace it with another pan that hasnt been modded, for safe keepings, or just block it real good

    U will also needa remove the Injectors and run oem injectors, as the stock injectors are like 240cc, and to turbo a Civic, u need minimum is 300cc to run

    and remove all other accessories associated with turbo cars....

    He also have to put the stock ecu back in place, unless he used a Piggy back system, im gonna assume he used a Hondata S300, theres no such as Hondatec Ecu

    To be perfectly honest, just buy another EM1, dont screw around with tryna de-turbo one, just buy a N/a one and call it a day

    Fairly easy. Its just going to lick the bag when the revs hit about 2g's. Unless you re tune it.

    where about you located? ive got a ej8 w/b16a if your interested

    not too hard to remove, but no point buying it only to remove the turbo setup. and you'll need all the stock parts to replace.
