Once you upgrade to multi point fuel inj, that other kit should work just fine. You may also want to think about which injectors you want to go with with the turbo, because you probably dont want to use stock either.

Remember, the turbo kit is just mechanical, as long as it bolts up the turbo will work. The reason no one sells one for your car, is because it only has 2 fuel injectors, and it would be very hard to get the right fuel with forced induction.

Once you set up your fuel properly, get your turbo kit and bolt it on! Make sure she is running really well before you put the turbo on, so you dont have too many variables to work with.

Also, I did a D16 swap into my 88 civic 4 door. It was a pain in the ***, i would recommend just buying the wiring kits, especially in your case since you need it to be perfect.

Good luck bro.

 

What wiring kits are you talking about? So will it be ok to get a turbo kit for a D16y engine?

I think you can get wiring kits to do the neccessary upgrade to Multi POint Fuel INjection. Probably from Jackson racing or Hondata, HAP recycling or someone like that (its been a while so I forget) Google/Yahoo search or even a search on HT might help you too.

As far as the fitment of the actual turbo-kit (hardware only), as long as the exhaust manifold bolts up to the head, and the piping is all lined up the same you can use the kit. Ask the vendor, if they arent willing to help you out, they prob arent worth buying it from anyway.

 

thanks fo the info
Ill look at those 2 places
