Im looking to turbo my d16z6 and from what i have been told you can run stock internals and still make up to about 225whp. Anything more than that and you are looking at new rods, pistons, etc. Check those websites above. They will help you alot. You can piece together a turbo set up pretty cheap.

Re: Need Help With My Turbo (vtec99ej)
Turbo
Turbo manifold
intercooler piping and couplers
intercooler
blow off valve
vacuum lines
injectors
H-T is the best place to look for parts
and last and the most important TUNING!
the dyno tune is the best way to tune but not for everyone with a budget
some tuners may street tune it for you
the people that tell you that you need to build your block to boost a SOHC are very ignorant SOHC blocks are strong...well until 230+ whp then you need to build it but anything below it should be no problem.....people say that because they don't tune it right, they run lean and, blow their motor and then blame the weak block..
hope this helps you
