im on a kinda tight budget but come spring will have money to do something to it. wanted b series swap but thinking it not worth the trouble or money.i hear people talking about turboing the D and i think that is my most likely scenario. i would of course do a compression test to see thatr all is well and if it is how much psi can i run on stock internals and how much whp will be made?

thanx h-t

 

oo by the way my ex of course has the stock d16y8 with 111,000 miles

 

anyone...?

 

Stock block can handle anywhere from 200-250hp before the rods start to give out. But y-series block are known of spuning bearings due to its oil pump issue. On the serious note, you should do a little research. Turbo D16 is everywhere. You can also check out d-series.org and turbod16.com for more sources.

 

thanks ive been looking at homemadeturbo.com and turbod16 will check out d-series.org i want to get a compression test if the compression is good it should be at the stock compression rite?

 

As long as the compression numbers are close to each other than you should be fine.
