Does anybody have a Turbo?

did you get a kit or did you buy everything seperate? what peices would I need to run a D16 with 10psi.

thats beyond internal support, you gonna need to build inside the block

you can use a 92-95 turbo kit from Greddy or FMAX. or for a cheaper route you could build yourself a turbo kit vafc info (http://www.thedropshop.com/vafc.htm) . somewhere in the middle (price wise) would be to build your own but using hondata instead of vafc controlled :D

there are a few different options. it depends on your budget and the gain you are looking for

the build your own kit (aka junkyard) can handle 5-9 psi on stock internals. you could stick a thicker head gasket on if you were worried

i belive that anything over about 5psi on stock internals is only fun for about the month that your engine lives :flipa:

I can get you a Starion turbo, and intercooler for decent price. :D

that is the most retarded statement yet

first off iran 11 psi NON ic on a 250000+ mile D16 for 8 months with NO issues then i sold that motor for $250 and now its in a crx running strong STILL
then i put in my zc
i run that @12 psi all day every day and have for over a year
i beat hte shit out of my car ........ ANYONES meotor that blows under 12-14 psi is because of POOR tuning

oh BTW i made178 whp and 176 ft lbs of tq on my ZC w my vafc hack
and now w the hondata its 190 whp and 185 ft lbs

NIICE dropshop, i;m hoping to see similar results with my z6 (junkyard turboed, with jg pistons, rods, intake mani, gude mild mod cam, p&p head, and knife edged crank....what do you think i will produce at about 10-12 psi?

i've know dropshop quite a while now. probably close to 1 1/2-2 yrs. what he said about his engines is true. i can't speak for what others have told you.....but as for dropshop, his words have been proven through time and dyno sheets.

We just yanked out a SOHC Vtec engine out of a HB today at work becuase it had bad rod bearings and i'm planning on taking the engine and rebuilding it for a turbo and put it in my car. I plan on running it on the street daily with about 10-14 psi. I thinking a 8.5:1 Cr pistions and upgrading the engine while it is at work or in my garage. Would a T3 turbo be to big for the street? What type of engine mang. should i use?
Couple other questions, when i do the swap, what am i gonna need? The car is a 91 HB STD. Would the 91 si trans match up? Should i just get a 92 Si wiring harrness for the car? So many questions.

a T3 60 trim is what you want
for your application if you plan on DRAGRACING i say get a
.63 turbine A/R and for a street car get a .48A/R
if u need an explanation let me know

No, i know that type of stuff. My car is a daily drvier that is going for SPL comps and raced very little. I just want something so i can screw with people a little. Just wanna break a 14.9
