IS IT SAFE TO TURBO A D16

[xNocturnalx]

I HAVE A D16 I WAS THINKN BOUT PUTN A TURBO ON AND I WAS JUS WONDERING HOW MUCH IT CAN HANDLE??

[Elbow]

I wouldn't go over 5lbs on a stock motor. To safely tell do a compression test, how many miles are on it? If you want max reliability rebuild it first.

But you CAN turbo a D16 easily.

What size turbo? That depends how much PSI you can push... Each turbo is different, a bigger turbo would run lower PSI than a smaller one. Also, what condition is the motor in? I would personally rebuild it first... Yes, you can easily turbo a D16... Boosted SOHC aren't that bad. :goodjob:

stats on motor..but basically the answer is yes

[seanrg1116]

yea but 200hp is about the breaking point of the rods.

go to d-series.org to learn more. plenty of them are running 12's and faster with vitera setups

[xNocturnalx]

well what about a b18b cuz i was thinkn bout swapn one into my civic

[Sammich]

10lbs can be done...

10lbs can be done...

lulz at mods editting your sig...

Also, it is how much HP the engine and parts can take... not how much psi the engine can take.


But you still need to know the condition of the B18c also... Never just turbo an engine that you don't know about if you are looking for relizbility... Make sure everything is in good working order. :goodjob:

yea i just leave it f'n bastards...

but in most cases t3/t4 is selected as first turbo..thats why i say 10...

Search.......your will find 2billion articles on this. B18b with 14b at 12lbs is about as much as you need, or want. Slowhatch on here had his ef with b18a swap and my old 14b and the car was a monster. Turbo size makes a world of difference. Build the d16 with vitara(as in suzuki vitara) pistons and some rods. You can make 400whp with a very cheap setup. Good luck.

rebuild your d16 like this dude did his, same motor as yours but rebuilt, his is turbo and makes 11, 12, mid 13's every run...is yours the vtec motor?

It can handle up to 25psi I wouldnt push it passed 21psi!





















....

[mirz833]

hell yea its fine 6lbs

[STRteg]

Yeah 5lbs safely

[scttydb411]

reliable=approx 100whp over stock

you can get more, but you roll the dice past 200-210 on a stock internal sohc.

i'm pushing 250whp, pootr has 240+whp, another guy here (miro gt (i think that's his screen-name)) 230+whp. we're all willing to pop the motor and drop another in.

you'll have more versatility with a b-series, but also more $$ to begin with.

somebody's gonna blow some shit up!! ;)

[Tech5]

lol i dont know if you read my post but I said for him to do 21psi lol!
