ok i have 2500 to put into a motor and turbo kit for my ef....im planing on buying a d16y6 for around 300 and that leaves me with about 2200 to spend...im looking for 300 wheel hp on high boost about 20 pounds...ive heard lots of bad thing about ss auto crome turbo kits but local ppl around here are fast on 6 psi....what should i do with $2200 i was thinking pistons,rods and a block gaurd and spending $750 on that and then spending $1100 on the turbo kit ???? any ideas ???

 

your never gonna safely run 20 pounds on 2200 dollars

 

why the expletive do you want to turbo a single cam? for that money you can get a most likely get a b18b turbo

There is absolutely nothing wrong with turboing a single cam, its just no gonna happen to the extent that he is going for with that amount of money, and for what hes gonna pay to put a ls motor in his car, he won't have enough left to put a decent turbo kit on

 

I seriously doubt you will get a motor setup to hold 20psi for $2500.
You won't build a kit to hold 20 psi for $1100 either.
Your power goal is exceeding your $$ amount.
There is nothing wrong with the D series, you just have your $$ and goals out of order.

I see you are in TN, if your needing some work done and want to bring it to AL, then I can boost it for you.

true, but i still dont see the point of a turbo single cam with the much boost. i saw everything of an ls swap at a junk yard everything being motor tranny ecu axels wire harness and motor mounts for $1100. it just seems like youd get more bang for your buck that way.

 

Yeah thats not very much to spend on a motor and boost, I spent that much just for boost and electronics

 

SS auto chome = a waist of $$$$

Spend ur $$ the right way. You said u had an EF. so either turbo the stock a6, or get a z6. The Y7 isnt the best for turbo'ing, there have been some people with good #'s but its just not as good as an a6/z6. as for your 2200, spend it on a GOOD turbo kit, FMIC, engine management and TUNING.

You wont be close to 300hp, but if its tuning WELL u can easily push 200whp from your d16 on stock internals at a low 7-8-9 ish psi. trust me 200whp will throw u back pretty well.

Id also get a clutch, maybe rebuild your engine.

 

i run a ssac manifold and i have no problems with it yet and im running around 400hp but it is the ramhorn style with 50mm piping

 

expletive 400hp on a sohc turbo??

 

no i have a type r motor

 

single cams are cheaper if you blow one up

 

PM me.....ill tell you what you need to know about turboing the D.
