turbo d16

I anm in the process of buying a 93 ex sedan....

The motor has 84k on it and insteado f doing the typical swap i want to boost the D.

Should i rebuild the engine at this mileage???

And i plan to run no more than 7-9psi

Should i get a Rev hard, Drag gen3, or greddy turbo kit??


With this set-up i also plan to run
Thermal R&D exhaust
MSD ignition
any thing else you guys can suggest to make this car run reliably???

thanks in advanced

come on guys help me out

I would suggest the edelbrock turbo kit.

it's really a complete kit almost, comes with everything from boost guage to intake manifold to turbo manifold to the intercooler.

If I had a d16 and I was going turbo I would deff get the edelbrock kit.

Edelbrock (http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive/sport_compact/index.html)

build your own. i hate kits, if you buy everything in a kit on your own, you'll save 20%

I would go w/the edelbrock kit too, they may not be Japanese, but they know what they're doing. kits may be more expensive, but they're also more reliable, and made to work together

Kit's are brand new, part's are brand new

I would rather spend 20% more for more reliable part's than having to go spend more money on getting a turbo rebuilt or what have you.

Yeah i would like to got with the edlebrock kit... but i want to be able to adjust the boost easier, I ve heard that you cant change the boost as easy on the edlebrock kit because of the internal wastegate... is that true?

does anybody run the Greddy kit????

Can I run 10psi on a stock motor with a greddy kit, intercooler,injectors(size?), Profec B Spec II boost controller, and 93 octane gas...?

who said anything about me. you didnt read what i said. if you buy all the parts in the kit sepretly, you spend 20% less.

i've noticed honda & acura owners are afrade of getting anything not in a "kit". why is that? kits dont give you the best performance, they give you a easy install, with 0 know how, without doing any reasearch.

This is not always true. Your not always going to get good deal's.

Some kit's just provide the essential's to get started you can alway's uprgrade as you go along and learn if you dont know anything about turbocharging already.

I like it how your type of person always recommend's better and more complex thing's for people with less knowledge or experience on certain thing's. This is obviously going to be his 1st turbo car he does not want to run insane amount's of boost. A kit is perfect for him.

Thanks civicHB, I kno about turbos and stuff and the basics of how things work. But i am in no way ready to build my own kit......

Scottsee, every post ive been to uve said something negative, if i wanted to build a custom turbo package, iwould have been asking questions on what peice to fit into the puzzle, but my question was vice versa in the condition that i was asking about kits.......

IMO building your own kit gives you a better understanding of exactly how the turbo works with your engine and in the end you will be happier. Unless of course you're a type of person who doesnt care how it works you just want "the kit"

My HB is my first turbo'd car and I built my own kit with a Plasma cutter, welder, Turbo, STD mani, Mandrel Bends from JC Whitney, Oil supply kit from Edelbrock(and return kit) I'm into mine about $500.00, go ahead and buy a kit for $3000.00 Shit stuff an H22 or B18C(GSR) in your car if your going to spend that much! 9 PSI should be no prob on a Z6, we ran 16P on a SOHC JDM ZC(no ignition). If you get an MSD buy the MSD-6BTM it has a vac/boost port to retard the spark automatically. Missing Link by Synapse is also a must, Ebay $50 it is way better than the check valve mess the comes with the Drag and Rev Hard kits. If you want to D.I.Y I can tell you everything you need and you will probably save a grand or two. If you have the money to buy a kit Do it right HKS or TURBONETICS. Edelbrock over Greddy anyday! If you want to learn, D.I.Y go to www.homemadeturbo.com or www.turbod16.com before you spend a dime. If you do B.Y.O make sure the manifold has a 3 on the fourth runner they work they best. And by the way ScottSee I am against most anything in a kit, but you already know that! Sorry if this didn't help Lewdaka07! If you can rebuild your engine, you can build a turbo kit! Spend the other two grand on a Crower turbo cam #63441ZT, springs and retainers #84166, have your head punched .5mm and stuff some SS valves in #97404I/E and look at all the kitted cars in your rear-view. But as 91civicDxdude said if your not interested in learning just Kit-it. Pacesetter offers excellent Cat-backs for fairly cheap, run a track pipe with your exhaust and you will see awesome TQ. gains. However if your worried about Emissions forget everything buy a kit a keep it around 6-7psi. OK thats my two cents.

thats to fucking sad lewdaka07, you NEED to know what everything does, what everything is, and how they work together.

and the reasion you read things negitive, is becasue most everyone on here asking questions are people who dont even know what a turbo is, let alone what they do. im here to help people, (most of the time). anyway. at least you know what i think about kits.
