Turbo D16 series Swap
1st post newbe here
My project has been on hold for a while due to funds and space.
Motor is a first gen Acura 1.6l d16a1. It was given to me with the notion I had to use it.
So Lucky I had one of the uglyest cars that graced the earth <dodge colt>, with a real tired engine.
Out came the sazall and welder. Inital thoughts were to mate the Acura motor with the original Colt Transmission, but after 2 minutes of figuring out how to make a engine rotate backwards, that idea was scraped. A bike carb manifold was underway when the idea was to add a turbo. A few minutes thinking, and the idea came alive.
Car was and is built with 2 ideas. Go faster cost less. Oh yeah and I have to built everything.
Fabrication was a furry of 4 months of planning, reading, cutting, welding, re designing and just having fun.
lots of progress was made in those first months, but due to college, space, money its been under a tarp for 3 years.
I found it the other day, and I'm getting goose bumps again wanting to work on her. After seeing all the other cool projechts going on here.

I built everything when I was 20, with more time then money. not much has changed now, but have more goals
Any comments are welcomed and ideas are always sought after
Question... Does anyone know where to get a rebuilt KIT for an AUDI external Wastegate???
