i have a way of getting a turbo for a D16Y8 but its just the turbo for $100. What other parts am i gonna need? like piping, intercooler, etc.... is it worth it to get the turbo or would i be better off getting a kit somewhere? any help would be appreciated. thanks

 

You can piece together a "junkyard kit" fairly inexpensive(especially for an SOHC). Once you get it running you won't be sorry. I have seen many "SOHC turbo parts" threads in the F.I classifieds as of late so, go take a look.

i suggest researching how a turbo exactly works. then you will relize the parts you need relative to the parts that are already on your motor.

 

thanks guys i will check it out a lil bit more.

 

Here are a couple sites to get started:

its the sticky at the top of this forum.

 

Thanks, those are awesome links, helped out a ton. so i guess it is worth getting huh? can you run as much boost from a "junkyard" or "custom" kit as you can with say a greddy or any of the other big name kits?

 

Also go to howstuffworks.com and search for "turbo" and "fuel injection"..
