D16Z6 Turbo Choices

D16Z6 Turbo Choices
Just wanted to ask a question about boosting the motor that came in the car.
It was rebuilt about 15K miles ago and is in great condition, as is the transmission and all other mechanical parts. I am nearly finished building a B18B but have ALSO decided to build a high-boost D16Z6. I will do whatever I need to properly fortify the block and increase the displacement to an 81mm bore. All internals will be replaced with after-market parts. I would like to use a turbo-kit if I can, and alter the turbo from the manufacturer, making it basically an install and go kit, plus tuning. As I said, I am looking for high boost (22-30 range) and think I will go with a 75 shot also. Who makes a kit that can meet my requirements? I have only seen the Edelbrock kit that is 100% complete so far, but I do not think the compressor can meet my needs. Any help you guys can give is appreciated.

That is what I was trying to say. If I could take a kit and replace the turbo with a larger one, but still use the parts from the kit, or if there was ANY kits that would boost that high. There is no reason the block could not take it if it was properly prepared. Any suggestions on which kit to get, and which snail to replace the supplied one with?

Edelbrock sells the smog legal version and the off road version. the off road version is probably the one you want which can boost beyond 20+ PSI. Look for the user Marauder aka Roger, he works for Edelbrock and has the very 1st turbo kit for the D16 in his civic. He's on HT sometimes just email or PM him.
BTW for other high boost kit: XS-Engineering, Rev Hard, DRAG, and Apexi.

Re: (sohcvtec1995)
yuo cant bore out the d16 block to 81mm the largest you can go is 79mm i believe, or in lamens terms 1.8lish. Also psi has nothing to do with anything you could have a small turbo pushing 20 psi while a larger one would be pushing the cfm's with 13 psi. You need to set a hp/torque goal, and then go form there.

I agree 110%. Doing a custom kit u can the parts u want/need to meet your goal. Also for around the same price or less than a "kit"
