SOHC Turbo Help

[94civic]

I planning on turboing my d16z6 motor but i want to know what i need to beef it up so that it doesn't blow up. Does my motor already come with low compression and if i do need to change my internals what site can i go to to order them. This is the turbo kit i'am planning on buying.

You can turbo a stock motor just fine...

Its when you want to go above like 8 psi of boost and stuff that you need to really look at what the hell you got going on in the motor. So if you are going for 6-8 psi of boost, dont worry about your internals ~ less they are shot anyways

i'm going to be runnig more than that, maybe like 12-16 psi. i know i have to change the pistons, rods, valves, valve springs, retainers and resleave the cylinders . anyone know where i can find these parts for cheap on the net

check out www.theoldone.com, they have endyn rods for pretty cheap, actually they have pistons and anything you could need for you D16 really.

get some rods and pistons...9:1 or so..maybe half a point higher....you can run 10psi on a stock motor, just make sure your engine is still good and take it to a reputable tuner. if you want to go any higher than 10psi, I would start to look into building the bottom end.
