Trying to build a turbo kit for a 96 civic EX and need to know the stock exhaust size? Also, what is the max boost we can run on a stock motor....D16Y8?

 

why do u want stock exhaust on a turbo car, i would go with 3in.

 

i guess you're not doing internals so id say 6 or 7 psi....nothing more unless u tune it. If you have money and just wanna get a quick turbo and be fast, get the greddy kit. Some guy on clubcivic had a turbo for this same motor and got pretty impressive numbers

 

trash the stock exhuast get 3"

 

2 1/2 works just as well if u cant afford the 3"

 

id go with 3" if you can

 

Ive got a custom kit onm 98 vic with 2 1/2 in & run 7-8 psi

 

My last turbo integra I put down 267 to the wheel with a stock type R exhaust and muffler. It was dead quite, I could hear air running through my chargeline it was pretty cool!

That's 2.25 inch. With a cat.

How much power do you want? 3 inch can be overkill if you aren't looking to make massive power.

However, The size of your exhaust will greatly affect the turbo's spool up time

Butt dyno told me a made more power open dp but I was only able to stand it for a day . It was just too loud for daily driving. If I was to go back to open dp I would try the e-cut out.

 

3in stainless all the way baby

 

does anyone make a 3" aftermarket stainless for the 96-98 hatchs? or would it depend on how long the downpipe is? or should i just go to the local muffler shop?

 

Anyone know how the 2.25" magnaflow catback would work if I mated that with a straight through 2.25" downpipe off the turbo?

 

I would go for the 3". If you cant afford it than I would not go any smaller than 2.5". Also, the smaller pipe helps a little with response. If you arent making huge power, this would probably be the way to go.

 

i think Thermal might make 3in stainless for 96-98

 

3 inch, i got a completly stock z6 motor with a T3 and im pushing 10 pounds with uberdata and open dp untill i can afford exhaust

 

im running 10lbs on my y8, pulls great. i also have a 3" stainless exhaust from the turbo back

 

Would be nice to clue us in as to where you got that?
