Ok I just got a basic junk yard turbo kit 42 trim T3 turbo with internal wastgate, STD manifold, dsm bov, dsm 450 injectors, johnny race car 6" intercooler on a d15b block with a z6 head. Sotck internals other than an unorthadox cam gear. car will be tuned on 5-7 pounds. I know the motor is already a high compression set up to begin with, my question is is this a good or bad set up. I mean the kit only cost $250

 

Sounds like it should do just fine, thats an awesome deal. **** I spend 220 on my wastegate

 

anyone else got an opnion/suggestion

 

got pics of the stuff?

What type of shape are the parts in?

 

Sorry I do not have any pics the parts are in good shape, the turbo was rebuilt the intercooler is brand new.

 

Add a chipped ecu to your list and you should have a cost effective, decent setup. Uberdata/Crome for obd1 and TurboEdit for obd0 come to mind.

 

I wanted to build a junkyard kit, and ended up spending alot more then I wanted to

Feels alot safer tho, and will make more power then i origionally planned

me too

Goodluck with your build

 

does mileage limit you on wheather or not you can turbo a d-series engine? ex: my d16y7 has 99k miles, should i boost it? switch the head? new to this

 

I would put in a new headgasket and head studs regaurdless of mileage, they usually don`t hold past 200hp. 99k miles on a honda is nothing.

 

BauleyCivic has a similar setup. Car is a lot of fun and I don't think he's had any problems
