Where can i find a cheap turbo for a d16y8? I have an I/h/e set up.

 

wat kind of power are u looking for? around 200? 300?

 

The problem is i don't have alot of money, i could spend around 1500 - 2000. I would like to get a 100 hp or so. I need a complete system. I also need to find a cheap shop in the Lexington KY area.

 

Look for a you pull it yourself junk yard and pray that they have a few turbo cars. I found a SAAB t/3 turbo with 106,00 miles on it for 50 bucks. I got the intercooler off the car for 40. The BOV sucks though. Go to http://www.homemadeturbo.com They have some good turbo setups.

 

Junk yard?? Is there a way i can search that on the internet. Also my car has a 105k miles on it is safe to use a turbo or nitrious?

 

i say get a greddy kit. how far is lex KY from nashville TN?

 

When i look at greedy kits they say only for 92-95. Will they work on a 1998? and how much hp do you get?

 

if u dont know much about homemade setups i would go with a kit... u can find a greddy kit online for about $1500, and an intercooler for around 250-300 and get custom intercooler piping...

 

yes they will work. and do a search. ive seen from 150-215hp on these kit.

 

Yeah i've see them for 1500 thats a good price. Where do they spool at and what extras do i need? Do i have to adjust the kit or can it go right on? Also how much should labor cost?

 

how far is lex KY from nashville TN?

 

An hour i think.

 

the greddy kit comes with a small turbo but it spools pretty quick.
i usually get full boost around 3800-4000 rpm.
it comes with all the necessary hardware except for an intercooler.

 

Yeah it's a T/3 casing on the greddy isn't it? Smaller turbos=less lag.

 

if you are going with the greddy kit, go to http://www.turbocivic.net. tells you all you need to know about installation on a 98. i have the same set-up on my 00 ex.
