im about to sell my 96 civic ex cuz
i want a car to turbo, has to be less than 3600 though, so which car would be good to turbo in the honda family cuz i know the d16y8(current engine) is not so good as of bearings spinning, and id have to buy a new ecu, i want a car that would be reliabe on stock internals up to 210hp or less, and is the d16z6 safer to turbo than the y8

 

 

1hp=not made for me

 

just keep the 96 and turbo it.... if you want you can upgrade the oil pump to a high flow/pressure. My bone stock y8 lasted several years at 250whp.

 

My D16Z6 was making about 200whp & ran for over a year & a half with nothing more than head studs.

I'd say either keep the '96.

 

If you want to do a D16 turbo on a stock motor then pick a Civic 1988-2000.. pretty much sums it up.

 

ok well i still have my car up for sale and hopefully itll sell on sunday(guy might come to see it) its got 80,000 miles and i got it up for $3400. so im gonna have to get a diff car now, i might get a older gsr and go all motor or buy another civic but a hb, does anyone know the diff between d16y8 and d16y5 or is it just a diff trans, ill prob get a newer d16y8 and like u said get an aftermarket oil pump. i can get the turbo(td05 from mitsu eclipse) for like 40 bucks and piping will be free on me, blowoff valve, wastegate intercooler and injectors will be needed, maybe a fuel pump, itll cost me about $500 total, how mich will ecu and tuning cost anyone know

Uh.. I think you should figure out what you want and then make a thread.. a ghetto dsm turbo setup is going to suck, and real tuning is typically 400-500$

why don't you just keep your car then. Damn 80,000 for only 3400. Got any pictures?

 

yeah i got pics ill post them up, and yeah its pretty cheap kbb is 4500 for the car wtf, damn 500$ for tuning, **** ill prob get my uncle to tune it cuz he tunes cars for car companies, dsm turbos are fine for my setup, street dd, im not gonna be racin vipers, i just want a quick sohc, their good quality and small meaning less lag, & i can replace for 40$ hah

 

if i were you i would just keep the coupe and turbo that. For what your looking to do the stock y8 can handle.

 

just want a hatch i guess, theirs no need for a coupe, when i want a quicker car u know, i dont know how to post pics can u tell me but heres the website to a craigslist ad i posted 2 days ago

older car was a celica, older car was a teg with b16a1

 

word rock the y8 and put it in a eg hatch
