Turbo D16Y7
I recently got my hands on a completely unmolested 96 civic Lx, its got the d16y7 with a 5mt.
im a mechanic by trade but ive not done a whole lot of performance, i know the basics of whats needed but figured id ask the honda collective about whats recommended to turbo this puppy.
this isnt my daily, i have a 97 integra gsr that i put around in.
i dont want to swap a y8 for the simple fact of wanting to learn how to tune, and if i blow the engine its at least a cheap dime-a-dozen engine and can start by learning tuning basics without the complication of vtec.
My power goal is 300-350whp
i understand ill obviously need a decent turbo kit, i have vitara pistons and eagle rods picked out.
i think i read ill need the intake from a y8, and obviously a chipped p06 or p28 to tune it.
my main questions are
whats recommended for injectors/fuel pump
Do i need to bore the cylinders to .020 over or is the stock 75mm okay, and ive been reading about a block guard, how needed is that for my power goals.
and advice on anything i may be missing would be appreciated.
