1) [URL=www.homemadeturbo.com]Turbo Setup[/B]
2) It is a known fact that the D16Y blocks have had bearing issues; some have them, some don't. Predominately they do.
3) Look into better fuel and timing managment if you don't want everything to fail and we have to see you here in two weeks "Why Did My Motor Explode?". Turboedit for OBD-0 (FREE), Uberdata (FREE), Chrome (FREE), and Hondata (Not so free) for OBD-1.
4) If you are using stock parts on the rebuild, you still will have the ~200 hp limitation on the stock rods before the tend to grenade. This isn't a set rule, but if you want more power out of this NA engine, look for some forged internals.

 

you might want to pop in an IC so you can run higher boost, and make sure that you have a wastegate (if it's not internal)
then you need to worry about cooling tubing etc. check out homemadeturbo
