ok i have a y7 bottom with a z6 head what do i need to turbo that thing
i have the turbo kit and p28

Install complete turbo kit.
Done!

It actually could be that easy, but you didn't mention what exactly you meant by you having a turbo kit.
Do you have ALL the parts?
Do you have larger injectors?
Is the P28 chipped?

You should get it tuned ASAP after installation.
Basemaps are no good to drive on.

from what i was told i need
chipped ecu
new pistons
i didnt know about the injectors.

Hmmm... here are the very basics.

You will have to do more research, but from what I found the engine/head combo you have yield 9.6:1 compression. This is perfectly fine for boost as lower compression is desired. However, if you bought the motor from somebody else, they may have swapped pistons. It is very common to change out pistons to yield something in the 10.5:1 range. That would be risky to boost on.
10:1 is still on the high side, in my opinion, for a person to build on for their first turbo charged setup.

Mechanical parts:
turbo exhaust manifold
Turbo with built in wastgate OR an external wastegate
downpipe
intercooler (optional)
blow-off valve
all the piping and couplers to hook it all together.

Then you will need to add more fuel to then engine since you will be adding more air from the turbo. There are many injector calculators on the internet that you can use to determine what size you need. You will need to know what your horsepower goal is beforehand.

You will also need to change out your spark plugs with 'colder' ones.

Depending on how much boost you add, you may need a different MAP sensor. Again, search on the internet for specifics for what the stock MAP can handle.

With those parts in place you will need a way to manage it and make it run. The stock ECU will not be able to run the injectors properly and it will not have any clue how to deal with the boost.
A chipped ECU is very cost effective and for basic functionality it can operate just as well as the more expensive alternatives. Regardless of what engine management you decide on, you will need to find a person to tune the engine for you. If you go with a chipped ECU you can purchase a basemap chip online so you ECU will be able to start the engine up. Then you can move the car to be towed to the tuner or drive it (stay out of boost and take it easy). Tuning is not cheap so make sure everything is hooked up right before going.

ok thanks for the info really help out alot that is exactly what i am looking for
do you think i should run the engine first then boost it? or just do the swap with the turbo kit?

OneBadTurboCRV

Personally, I would swap the motor over and make sure there are no problems first. This way if you add the turbo later and problems surface it should help you trouble shoot. The compression factor doesn't matter that much. Given depending on what it is exactly it can help you run more or less boost depending what your goals are. I have posted injector calculators many times before on here. The stock map can handle around 10~11psi...

ok man that helps alot thanks does boost and vtec work well with each other?
i heard sometimes it doesnt

OneBadTurboCRV

Of course it does work well together - the only problems are probably from people who can't tune the transition flawlessly (VTEC has a "high" and "low" map for spark and fuel, where NON-VTEC has only one set of maps).

And if you have some e 85 around you it will make your engine last longer and mke more power....
If your building a y7 I would look for a small turbo so you have less lag. It will be alot more fun to drive.

what is E-85?
