i wanted to know if obx is worth it..they have partial turbo kit for the d series and i just did a search and some people say it sucks ..some say you pay for what u get..aka its crap..i just wanted to know it would be worth the investment..which isnt much to begin with..any feedback will be appreciated..

dont make the same mistake that so many others like myself have made. Spend the money and get something quality the first time, it will end up saving you money in the long run, TRUST ME.

ok..thats one negative.... 3 strikes there out...thanks for the feedback,....too good to be true..

well are there any good "kits" out there..thats worth it..i mean i dont want to spend 3-4 g's on a turbo kit , ill be better off getting a b series swap , in my opinion, i just dont need this learning phase to cost me an arm..there are somany parts available for the cars(honda) that i juast had to find out why no one uses them(obx)..

Well from reading your last post, it doesnt seem (at least in my opinion) what you wanna do or what kinda numbers you wanna put down. Greddy makes a good kit for under 2000 bucks. I dont know what kind of numbers it outs down. That is a good starter kit if you dont have the know how, time or desire to put your own kit together...which really isnt hard. I mena look at what a turbo kit offers as far as parts and make your own. You may have to do some research on turbo sizes and whatnot. I would suggest the greddy for you. I pondered on the OBX turbo manifold but I saw too much negative about it, plus it was too bling bling for me. One guy DID have positive stuff to say about it on here. He had to brace it or some ****

true specv i can put together a kit, i had a golf boosted.,i have a t3 t4.60 trim and i am building up a LS. im researching what to use and so on but that particular project is gonna take me time...i refuse to have some one build my motor for me..in that sence... in the mean while thouhg i have a single cam ZC (no vtec)..it has like 55 k on it..and in the mean while i figured that i could get some( field training) so to speak on these jap cars..i guess there really isnt an easy way out..im not gonna go hard with this sohc.i may as well invest that money into the ls.. thanks for the info anyways ..

There are some fast SOHC out there. I am goign to dump a few bucks into mine. The only way I would swap my motor to a DOHC, is if I got a hook up. If you can get the LS cheap, go for it. IF not, strap a DIY turbo on it and learn. Good tting is, D Series ***** are cheap. You can blow your block and prolly get another one for around 100 bucks.

very true..
i have a z6 block and a cx(not worth spit but..)i feel you..im gona research more about these d's...i have an ls that had 43k on it but a spun bearing..so i took it apart and im waiting to put the block in the shop to get diped and honed and sleeved....i have no interrests in ls vtec, but i want a dohc turbo..so thats a definite in the future its just the time between now and then..im gonna boost this zc ..i just dont want to overdose..

tencan

lemme ask this even thouhg it has probably been covered..: a tried and true set up that will alow me to run say...5-7 psi on the (sohc zc)...ex..turbo(internal or external wastegate),mani,bov,and good electronics to control the system..im gonna serch now but i figured i throw this out there..in the mean while..

OBX=Cheap, crap ! Spend the money and do it right. Less probs.

you should be able to boost more than 5-7 psi on a stock bottom end. Too many factors go into boosting besides what the internals are like. I am quite sure people run more than 7 psi on stock d-series. I just read a few threads somewhere about it.
