Default what would u do if you had a built d16y8?

ok so i have a built d16y8 in a 89 hatch, eagle rods, je turbo pistons, turbo cam, head studs, sleeved, balanced and blueprinted, port and polished head, aem cam gear, aem fuel rail, aem adjustable fpr, lightend flywheel, act stage 2 clutch and prolly some more stuff but i cant remember at the moment.

im about to start buying things for my turbo kit for this beast but ive never turboed a honda before and just finished my turbo 240sx not to long ago but its a bigger motor, uses and MAFS and so on.. i need information on what setup you all would use on a car such as this for the most streetable power. it wont be a daily driver but it will see alot of street time in its life.

i need to know things such as: turbo sizeing, injectors, fuel management(i dont wanna run a standalone if i dont have to, ill be running a p28 most likely), map sensor, and manifold recomendations.

as of now i dont want to spend over 3k at first and im pretty good at finding good deals on stuff.

thanks guys! i hope to join the ranks of some of the really fast SOHC's on this site.

hondata,(more shops support it than other ems systems) i'd get a decent turbo such as a presision double BB turbo. maybe an sc40. I'd look into different turbo manifolds. tubular are great performance but tend to crank more often than casted, if you know you can have ti repaired when needed, then go tubular, if not then get a cast.

3" custom exhaust turbo back
large front mount
tial 38mm wastegate
greddy types bov
2.5" turbo piping.

62-65mm TB
750+cc injectors
msd blaster ss coil

hope this gives you a starting point.

Default Re: (oscarmayer)

thanks, yea i can repair a cracked manifold, ive been considering makeing one but i dont know if i can make a good one from scratch.. i guess i could buy one of those cheap ebay manifolds as a starting point and go from there(to weld on and such) . what do alot of people run on a 300ish hp d16, like turbo A/R size and such? also my 240sx makes like 280whp with 370cc injectors with slightly raised fuel pressure and it does it at 12a/f perfect.. why is there alot of people on this site with 550cc injectors running like 220? i could put down 350 easy with 550cc's. thanks for your help!
