www.turbod16.com don't go dohc,stick to the sohc it has potential and its cheaper. about 1300 you can get a pretty good setup and dust gsr's with ease. stock internals can hold 8-10 psi.

btw...i do have a d16 and in the process of goin b18b turbo.

if you want big numbers do the swap.
ask me what not to do if you decide to go with the getto set up.
yes i am....
spill it...
well along time ago i would have said diffrent,but after doing the half assed turbo set up to try and save a buck im thinking much diffrently now.
1.dont cheap out on your engine a fuel management.a fmu works but if it fails you could lose your engine.they over work stock injectors and cause them to fail ,if one shuts down while your in boost you can do a hell of alot of damage.get the good stuff the correct injectors for you application.walbro fuel pump,hondata or something with some way of tuning the thing.oh and try to stay away from running a huge injector only to tune it down so much it flow the same as RC310's.
2.turbo!! you can get a junkyard turbo that works perfectly,but those are rare.almost all need a rebuild or some sort of repair.by the time you add up the cost of rebuilding a j/y turbo you could have bought a much better aftermarket turbo of some kind.and you need to rig up a really ugly adapter to match the turbo to a manifold,that takes alot of time and in the end im pretty sure it will find its way into the trash.
3.intercooler,use one dont cheap out.they are well worth the money.and junkyard intercoolers do work,but they will need to be cleaned really well to remove all the oil from them.most turboed cars in the j/y are there because of a bad turbo or a blown engine from a bad turbo.
4.piping from the turbo to the intake.dont use pvc pipe.i dont think i need to tell you why just dont.and avoid the homedepot rubber couplers,they will burst after 10psi.you will replace them so much you would have been able to buy the good stuff.
5.oil lines. very important if you want your turbo to last and a clean engine bay run steel braided oil lines.dont use rubber lines,they will dry rot,crack,leak,and bye bye turbo.
6.air fuel guage.if you get one dont bother with the pepboys special.they are really no help with anyhing,unless you like pretty lights bouncing back and forth.
there are a few more things i could add but im sleepy now.just stick with a realistic boost level dont push your little(stock) engine to hard.
and buy a good kit and before you buy that kit do some research on it,hell ask people on IA they can help ya.
i could have bought 3 kits witht he money i wasted on homemade setups mostly because of the used turbos and cheap assed fmu, now all i got is a pile of scrap metal and i feel pretty stupid about it,the only thing i had left that was worth a crap was my hks ssq bov and that guy up there bought it from me^^^that thing was cool .but you live and you learn i guess. if want to go the used route be careful there is some good stuff out there but there is also alot of trash.so save your cash and be patient and get something you really want,dont rush!!!!....oh and last but not least get you car tuned by someone who knows what the hell they are doing dont set your car up and tune it like a buddies all cars are diffrent.check with the sponsors im sure they will be glad to help you out....i will never run a used turbo again or a half assed fmu.some people have no trouble with the stuff i mentioned but trust me do it right the first time,save money,and be happy with your reliable boosted engine.good luck and i hope this helps someone
yes i am....
turbo kit
I believe both greddy and edelbrock make a turbo kit for the D16Z6 like I have but not usre about the D15 I would try to talk to one of their sales or service reps for more info. SOHC has mucho potential though. I beat my friends modded 1999 SI twice with intake exhaust and better driving skills :idb: and I have a 95 ex coupe. lol. so have fun.
[QUOTE=B18c4DR]i already have a b16, i was asking where the prices of 1300 for b16's come from.
