Well I did Intake, Header, Exhaust, and a Cam and got down to 15.5 @ 89. Then I put on a homemade turbo kit and ran 13.9 @ 105. The D16A6 is a good platform to start a boost project from and surprise the DOHCs when you go blazing by them!

Yup the d16a6 is a nice engine to start with you can pretty much do anything to it. You can go mini me with zc pistons or go turbo and get nice numbers with proper rebuild even on a budget.

i depends on your "homemade" kit. some people tweak some things and others don't have a worry. make sure all your measurments are correct, and double check everything for fitment after you have all the parts and you should have your answer.
