I've done some searching through past topics on this and have gotten some good info. I just have a cuple other questions for you guys.

Some background info (since i'm new atleast to this site )

Well I've decieded to keep my stock engine in my 90 Civic Si and put a Drag Turbo on it. I was originally planning on doing a B16A1 conversion and building that up for a turbo. But since this car has to be my daily driver and my plan is to put down maybe 215 to the wheels it's not practical for me to do the swap.

Ok, so now my questions:

1) My engine has almost 200000 miles on it right now. I was thinking of resleeving the engine, maybe getting some new valves if any are availible and new springs. Should I also get pistons for it and new rods??

2) What psi do the drag kits come "stock" with? and what could/should I increase it to in order to get the 215 I'm lookin for?

3) What size injectors? 440cc??

The engine in my car is the D16A6 (SOHC non vtec)

I decieded to build my stock engine because It will cost much less and be more practical for my uses: Daily driving and the occasional race with my friends

Thanks for any help and If this topic has been covered gimme some tips on where to look for it and I'll just go research some more

Thanks again!

215whp on an sohc engine with 200k miles may not be an easy task... I'd say get a JDM B16 swap (cheap!) and stick a turbo on there.. should be much easier and more reliable...

Yeah, I guess what i'm saying is that for the price of the B16 swap (because its not a straight bolt in swap for my car) will cost more than even rebuilding my engine,

Another Idea would be to buy a ZC engine but who makes turbo setups for ZC engines?

Why not just get one of the newer civic ex motors, 92-01, sohc vtec, and boost it.

2) Your psi is mainly dependent on your wastegate and boost controller if applicable. The Drag kit doesn't come set at a psi.
