I have a 104,XXX mile 93 civic dx(d15b7), would it be safe to through a turbo on it?
If it is ok were would i be able to find one for a low price?

I have seen 150k gsr boosted. It is ok. Is the motor mechanically sound though?

if its in good condition...yes

get a leak down test

aja345

yeah the engine is in great condition, I have some extras I have dynomax headers and performance exhaust, I have a cold air intake. How much hp would i be sitting at on a 8psi boost?

dunnodepends on the turbo, and tune, the cai and header will be replaced with a turbo kit, the turb uses exhaust to comprtess air and shove into the throttle body, i suppose you could run the cai, cut it up and mount it on the compressor inlet but it doesnt do much just protect the compressor blades

WOuld you rely on a turbo from ebay, if not were would i beable to find one for the lowest possible price?

You will NEVER find a vtech head.

the problem with ebay and most knock off parts are they arent really tested/desighned well or for power just to look nice, or make it cheap, the XSautopower which what most people refer to as an ebay turbo really sucks, a good turbo would be a nice t25 or t28 ball bering off of any mitsubish 4g63 equvilent to an eclipese(dsm, plymouth, mitsubishi, egale)

a t28bb is from a nissan sr20det


a tdo4h is a first generation elcipse which imo is the best turbo for a d series mill

a VTEC headwill fit on your block as long as it is a d16y8 or z6 respectevly, you will need the head, timing belt and head gasket ecu off of the vtec mill (there is a post in the faq) a z6 is obd1 and is the same obd as your ar and is the best fit, some argue the y8 intake mani is better than the d which you may swap at the same time, and a p28 ecu (d16z6 obd1 vtec 92-95 ex.si ecu) is the most common chipped ecu and a favorable tuning tool, crome or uberdata will also help in tuning your newly turboed civic

I'm going turbo on my car. Its not a Honda no more but it has 182k miles. I'm seeing how long it will last until the motor gives out. By the way its a Nissan so I hope it will make it to 200k before it falls apart.

I noticed today that some white smoke came out my exhaust what would that be ?
