Hey everyone im new at this, i just got my first car a 1993 honda civic hatchback dx, and i want to know what you guys think.

Sohc turbo:
amber corners
OEM blue interior
D16Z6
adjustable cam gear
Vitara pistons
T3/T4 turbo
RC 750cc injectors
walboro 255 fuel pump 6 puck clutch
aluminum radiator

It doesn't have these rims anymore it has steelies now



The difference between the vitara piston and the stock

the reason the ebay turbo kit sucks is the manifold is paper thin and will crack along the wastegate flange

d series dont flow like b series 440cc injectors in a b series can easily reach 300whp, in a d series more like 250whp before maxing them out

oh and i would probably put the top of the timing belt cover back on i wouldnt want anything falling down in there

Is that all?
c'mon

 

i used to think about china/ebay turbos as junk.

a customer had this setup, i dynoed it at 14psi and made 283whp in a dynojet.




this was on crome pro @ 95octane. pretty decent huh

seriously lol?

 

looks good, besides the manifold

 

wastegate needs a dumptube, it looks to be blowing right on the air filter.

 

i haven't dyno it yet but i think i can put out higher then 15 if i do

 

the reason i wanted to make this thread is because i wanted to see how i can maintain the turbo setup since it's my first car and turbo setup

 

ok to start off and learn

I would start with preventative maintenance and replace that ebay manifold. Your wastegate will fall off before too long.

In fact, I was selling some old parts to a guy locally over the weekend. He had the same manifold and his wastegate flange busted off a block from the place I met him at. He was dragging his wastegate down the road by the vacuum line

where can i find a better manifold and what would be the best one for a good price

The cast manifolds are not so bad, they dont look too cool, good manifolds are not cheap unless you make your own.
Id say keep what you have, watch it closely, see anything thats cracking take it in a get it welded.
