D16Z6 small turbo - QUESTIONS! :)
if only i knew how to insert images . . .
SO - I have the cleanest, most minty fresh and totally stock [eg6] 95 Si ever... tweeters, a/c, cruise control, 4wheel disc, sunroof, and all the goodies that come with it, even genuine floor matts.
All I have done to her: JDM amber clock and climate control
Im super poor, going to college, living on my own, working fulltime trying to get by yada yada yada... basically - I cant stand the lack of power.
She has a D16Z6 and its sizzpy, but I need something . . . more
What kind of turbo out there is small and reliable enuf to work on a SOHC Vtec? I am hoping to get 200whp not much more, and as of right now its 125, haha
Thinking 7 or 8 pounds of boost
Something cheap, good quality, and more zip to the wheels. Not looking for a fully built B18 with 12psi just something faster - but the main thing is... CHEAP
Anything will do as long as its a deal and not expletative crappy and any kind of feedback is greatly appreciated!
And YES, I am a girl, doing this herself with the help of a few friends who have 400+WHP turbo'd cars... someday I will get there, after I save for a K series
Thank you very much in advance! Help a car chick out! Thank you again!

Less than 500 if its possible... I really dont have a clue as to what stuff of that nature will run so thats just a ball park figure, Thanks!

I would say save and save and save one more time. Then with three saves you could have maybe 1500 which could get you to be able to piece something together that won't be as shitty as some. Plus, you can sometimes find a deal in the marketplace on here.

Re: (Jakester9500)
Yeah I could do that - but in that case, I think I would just keep saving for a new motor and then keep saving for turbo and do it all at once. The motor is super healthy but just turned 200,000 2 weeks ago ( Ima proud parent to that car now ) lol
Thanks for the suggestions
Any thing else I should know?

I would just keep saving until you could afford something with a little more displacement and more hp/tq.
The B18b1 is cheap and mated with a B16/GSR tranny can be a nice DD until you are able to save up for a nice turbo set up, which could put you where your buddies are (400whp) with a build.
Like they have said... save until you have a little more money. Until then, enjoy the gas mileage

I hate to use this line but it's sooooo true. Ever heard of...
"Fast, Reliable, Cheap...pick two"

I don't think you have to worry about smog as much as other people do (or maybe you do, I don't know) but that could be another potential factor.

If you are absolutely set on turboing what you've got, two things come to mind.
#1 GReddy Turbo Kit. 50 State legal if it matters to you and it's made for the car/engine.
#2 http://www.homemadeturbo.com
Either way, you might want to do a compression test and determine exactly how healthy your motor is.

save and piece your own kit together. it can be reliable as long as you put the money towards tuning.
on a budget for a D series i think a DSM 14b would suit you just fine and it has more potential than just 200whp

Re: D16Z6 small turbo - QUESTIONS! :) (hondahannah)
Honest question here, how did you determine your motor is as healthy as can be?
In any case, iVteC_PoWeR's suggestion is what direction I'm heading, going the home made turbo route but on a DOHC ZC. Low boost and proper tuning shouldn't be a big strain on the motor...if it is in fact "healthy"
Have you checked out homemadeturbo yet?

Re: (hondahannah)
ill handle your initial problem.......... to insert images you have to have them uploaded, somewhere like photbucket. once in photobucket, the picture has an IMG tag so can you copy and paste it in your post
as for turbos, not my specialty but everyone i know that gets a kit and wants to run "low boost" blows the motor within months. pretty hard not to turn the boost **** when it seems so accessible.
