suggestions on turbo d16
i just got a 94 civic ex d16 with 175000 miles on it and i wanted to know if i should turbo it? due to the higher miles on it, i wanted to know if i should build the bottom end or what? I'm thinking about running a T3 T04E Turbo Kit, any suggestions i could use the help thanks!

Re: suggestions on turbo d16
i would get another motor set aside (another z6) so if it desides to blow up i wouldnt do anything over 8 psi on stock internals

Do a compression and leakdown test and if everything is good, then you should be able to boost on stock internals for around 200whp if you'd like a safe daily driver.
If the compression test end up bad, then I'd try and get your hands on a fresh, low mileage d16y8/z6 with good compression all around to boost. They're easy to find pretty damn cheap for a full swap, so I wouldn't worry about spending too much.
