yes i was wondering if anyone knows how much boost you can run on a stock sohc (D16Y8) and i tried turbod16.com and i cant ever get logged in so that doesnt help, and i also found the turbo kit on ebay with everything that comes with it.

THanks.

im pretty sure it comes with all of it.

I'd stay away from ebay turbo kits. They are a hit and miss from what I've seen. $700 is a lot to take a risk on.

well ive gotta guy to do it, but ive heard the only way to tune it is with a dyno, someone please lemme know if theirs another way.

yep from what i know only a dyno...are you pieceing a turbo together or r you buying a bolt on kit? i'd suggest since you live in TN not CA like me haha put together one. I'd go with a t3/t4 turbo, that way you'll have more options.

^^^^^that is a t3/t4 turbo as stated in the description, not a bad deal but i have seen people run 9-10 psi on stock internals

vtec99ej

actually thats what ive seen from ebay the kit i wanted is a t3/t4 one of my buddies from where i work told me just to call bill gatton and ask them, but i figured i might just be able to slap the turbo kit in their run 6lbs and still might have a chance to but some of the cars around from where i live, and i go to college to so money is not something i really have to waist, but i would like to go alot faster then what i do

haha sorry bro didnt check out the ebay link haha thought it wouldn't be a worth it...

btw how much hp's am i gettin with just 5 - 6 psi's, i already have a an cold air intake and catback put on, so i would say at the most thats 30hps just wondering though.

allricedout

what kind of fuel mgmt. upgrades are u planning on?

maynards_ek

I think you are being a little overexuberant in thinking your catback and intake are netting you 30hp. I would say 15 tops. Anyway, I think that 8-10 psi is about the max you will want to push through your stock block. With no upgrades to your bottom end you wont want to go over 200-225 hp. Just make sure you have a reputable shop tune your car. Dont do what I did and have a "friend" street tune it for you. Was on the way to get a proper dyno tune when I threw a rod. I was in boost for literally 5 seconds. (1st time it saw boost) DO YOUR RESEARCH. It will end up saving you a lot of $$$ in the end.

how much money do u have? its almost better to buy a kit off of hondamarketplace than ebay. i had a couple friends buy kits off ebay and the turbo like ate itself. it was weird as ****. they claimed it was a "garrett" t3/t4 turbo but it wasnt. there is a guy bisimoto that runs 11's and 12's on all motor d series. he got a 10.77 on all motor d15.

THanks.</TD></TR></TABLE>and yea t3/t4 is ganna get at about 7 psi to run 170-185hp and 160-180tq instantly to the wheels. then ur fuel management is going to start hating you after that until u upgrade

GarageAlchemist

dood, if you're in college, and money is tight, i'd say wait off on playing with honda's right now. If your looking at pos ebay kits, and gonna half *** this just don't. save your money and keep Etuning the scene until you know what your doing.

sladed16y8

Hey man im doing the same thing turboing my d16y8 wit stock internals and turbo from ebay. Well ive asked around and seen that you should do 5-6 psi but the key to it working is a good tune wit a good tune ive heard up to 8 psi. And you just cant go with a FMU like i was going to it will ruin you mpg and likely blow it up quicker. SO TUNE. but well let my know how yours go the only thing stopping me to doing mine is im broke

you dont messure what a block can withstand in PSI, if he ever gets logged into turbod16 he will see that it depends on hp. The stock block is good for under 240whp..id keep it around 225 .

btw, turbo's put out different psi at different power ranges. so before you argue, you cant say a block can take __ psi.

yea my buddy bought an ebay turbo mani and cracked it in less than a week i would stay away from unknown brands there are niice kits on there but there a little pricy. for example. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...QrdZ1

Libertariat

Ebay kits are fine if you spend more then $1300

It's an alright Idea to buy an ebay kit, if you get it tuned and you're prepared to replace a lot of the parts. The turbo, manifold, intercooler, among other parts will all die in short order.

EXACTLY. You can run 34i93437473^099049493psi if your whp doesn't exceed the amount that the block can handle. A good rule of thumb for a d16y8 is 225whp or so.

7 psi sounds good
