what are some good turbo kits and tuning programs for a d16y8 on stock internals?

I think you're wasting OUR time. You posted this in another thread and were given some suggestions and told pretty much to research it yourself because you had NO CLUE about what you wanted to do nor had any goals.

But since you want to be Christopher Columbus with a turbo on a D16 you can get a Greddy kit or an Edelbrock one.

Since you have no funds you won't be getting either hence the reason you were told to research and start piecing one together yourself.

NO one's going to spoon feed you or hold your hand on this one.

well you know what im going to prove you wrong.i know what im doing,and i do have funds but i just dident wanna go into some searious cash flow on a civic.

You obviously can't search. If you browse peoples builds in the forced induction section, you will get a good idea of what people use more often. Also, don't expect to get help without posting your budget. YOU ARE THE LAZY ONE IF YOU ARE CREATING A THREAD SO THAT YOU CAN FIND SOMETHING. Don't flame someone for telling you how it is. You won't make many friends on here.

i'll throw you a bone though.. look into greddy and edelbrock kits. painless everything included stuff. but it's the most expensive route. piecing together a kit and tuning it with rom-based programs like chrome or uberdata is your most cost-effective, upgradeable route. other inexpensive tuning options are neptune and the like.

thank you.

I'd look into piecing together a kit before I went greddy or edelbrock. I think the greddy kit you still need a BOV and an intercooler to complete it...

There's people the piece together reliable kits for 600 dollars or less sometimes depending on deals in the local area and the marketplace.

For example...the 14b turbo off some of the 1st gen dsms...people use those alot and have good results for mild builds. Alot of them are matched up with the CRX HF manifold; also a reliable and affordable option. Then get a p28 chipped from phearable and you have a good base. The rest of the stuff is pretty easy to find. Intercooler and piping kits are on ebay all the time...and depending on how big you wanna go with it or your power goals you can go kinda cheap on those you just might have fitment issues and have the headache of getting pipes welded after you've already ordered them...there's alot more to it but you gotta do SOME research.

Tuning programs and situations like that will largely be determined by who and what is available in your area. Ask around, search, and find some local tuners. Keep an ear open for who offers best results for decent prices. It's best to use whatever software they feel most comfortable with,that way they will provide you the best tune as a result.

Also it's hard for anybody to give you any advice on force induction without you providing a price range, or power goals.

If you have a cap of 1000 dollars...then greddy and edelbrock are out of the question.

In my opinion it would be better to research somebody who has a similar build to what you're trying to accomplish and copy what they have, and tailor it to availability. People sell kits they pieced together themselves in the marketplace for pretty cheap all the time.

It's really hard to ask for advice on a whole turbo kit. There is SOOOOOOOO many different options it's not even funny.

Biggest bunch of BS I ever heard. Me and everyone else that responded to you already told you IN YOUR LAST thread (https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/d16y8-d15b-3-stage-vtec-swap-help-2875355/) all of this same crap. When I answered you in this post I told you what "kit" to get.

You don't know squat. NOW you're interested in a turbo kit. Before you were looking for 3 stage V-TEC so you could have a "sleeper". It's pretty freakin' obvious you haven't done ONE BIT of research on your own.

1) This isn't the forced induction forum.
2) If every high schooler that was curious about what turbo setup to use posted on this forum you all would collectively be wasting a lot of peoples time.
3) You're likely to get better information faster by searching and searching in the right place.
4) Get off your high horse.

Edit:

5) Starting your post off by being negative and name calling isn't going to get you anywhere.

Believe it or not, a lot of the knowledgeable posters on these forum have a high regard for manners.

It might hurt to hear it but research isn't an option with FI....

Even if you have a good bit of money and have a shop put it in....you're going to need to know everything about it to maintain the whole thing or you're going to end up messing everything up....and looking like a fool when people ask you about your turbo setup and all you can mention is the cost and the name of a shop that put it in. It's not an easy bolt on type situation....

Libertariat

You're exactly right. But to hinge on your point: research is certainly necessary so that he has a clue as to how turbos work, what turbo does what, trim sizes, etc.

TwoFaced

Very true...

What are your goals? Track car...bigger turbo...daily driver...smaller turbo.

That way you have one that supplies "useful boost" I guess you could say. If your turbo is huge...it wouldn't make sense for daily driving because you won't hit boost till 5 or 6k or w/e

Smaller turbo would wind up quicker at lower rpms and provide good fuel economy and useful boost for your application.

steve_howse2004

and i ant a small turbo.its a daily driver

Wow. You really have no clue. And refuse to answer any questions regarding budget and power goals. You fail.

TwoFaced

What's your budget?

Get a Greddy 15G with manny (or a 14b with a modded HX manny), DP, 440's and a Walbro. Ebay everything else. Get a P28 with baseline of 5psi from Phearable. Find a tuner.

I love the people who just want to be spoon fed everything. You could have told him anything and he would go out there and buy it without question.

hahaha..not a chance..its finny how you all think im stupid.but im not at all.

steve_howse2004

well for one the english is because im a newfie.and we will see when i get my car done.and behave like a responsible and modest person.i was untel you guys started giving me s***.the point of a fourm is to ask questions and get answers

You must be new to forums. Forums are not for every individual to task the community with every question and whim. If that were the case nothing would ever be accomplished on forums.

Do you really think that with 150,000+ members this forum would be remotely organized if it were normal for everyone to post every question they had?

Lay of with the cursing, you're laying a very bad track record with your behavior which will likely get you banned. You're really doing nothing in your defense and exacerbating the problems you've created for yourself.

steve_howse2004

and do you think i really care?its a website.

TwoFaced

I was trying to help in the beginning but OP you really need to chill and do some research. People aren't out to get you...but lay low a little bit on a new forum and figure out how things work a little before you go blasting away at people.

Almost everything you have asked can be answered in the FI section. There's a million people with a million different builds like what you're asking about. homemadeturbo is also a good website for the beginner...d-series.org is amazing for these kinds of d-series related questions. I love h-t and all but it isn't the ONLY resource for hondas. Go to the garrett site and there's a tutorial I guess you could say on the basic parts of an FI build, and what their function is. Find out what oil feed and return lines are, catch cans, wastegates, BOVs, differences in turbo sizes and how they affect your specific situation and goals...things like that.

I don't type like a complete genius, but my posts also don't appear to have the same format, attitude, and grammar as a drunk text.

Good luck with your research, and come back with more specific questions after you start piecing your kit together or if you need help with certain aspects of the build as they apply to 92-00 civics. Otherwise if it's specific to turbo applications head to the FI section.
