Im looking at some turbo kits for my d16 and was wondering what mods do u need first befor you can throw on a tubo.

 

Depends on how much you wanna boost. You can run lower boost on a stock d series engine an be fine, or you can upgrade the rods, and pistons and turn the boost up.

 

"Turn the boost up" is a bad way to put it. For new people, that's merely going to blur the line between boost pressure and power creation.

OP: read the FAQ at the top of the FI forum. It will answer a lot of the questions you may have. The short and sweet answer is that your stock D, with the right parts and a good tune, will be safe in the 220-240whp range on pump gas**. After reading through the FAQ, make another thread and ask what remaining questions you may have...

 

lower/normal boost levels just add the normal turbo bits.
high hp numbers build it.

 

vitara pistons and eagle rods work well for the $$. also upgrade your valvetrain and you should be good. then upgrade your fuel system and engine managment

 

But Vitara pistons and Custom D16 I beams work even better...
