Need help getting ready for 1st boost
As the title states I'm getting ready to do my first boost which is also going to be my 1st build in general. I've been doing some research and just wanted to see what others thoughts on my plans so far. This is just to get the engine ready for boost. I would like to achieve somewhere in between 250-300whp. The turbo I planned on using is a turbonetics t3/t4 but don't know which trim.
CAR - 92 civic cx hatch
ENGINE - D16Z6
I was going to get it bore and sleeved .02 and use JE 75.5mm pistons with eagle rods(from my understanding I have to get the block notched, is this true?) arp head bolts.
Upgrade the fuel system with Walbro 225 fuel pump, 440cc injectors and management with the turbo.
68mm Blox throttle body with tps sensor. Still need to choose a cam, suggestions?
The engine is out of the car and isn't going in until all this is done.
Thanks for the help. I just don't want to start blind and in over my head.

Re: Need help getting ready for 1st boost
here is a little help for a SOHC Guy. With D16Z6 and Eagle H beam rods you have to notch the bottom of the block for clearance issues due to that the rods will hit the block ever so slightly. Make sure that when you torque the cylinder head using the studs that you go by the manufactures spec. Walbro fuel pump is a good idea, also what injectors are you using in 440cc RC or DSM Injectors just make sure you use the resistor box. Also for a cam suggestion, Im using a Comp Cam stage 1 because of the duration and lift of the stage 1 for boost. Springs and Retainers will help as well. That should help you a little bit on your setup remember that tuning is also your friend.
