i've been thinking about going turbo for the past month but wondering if it is even really worth the cost?

its a d16a6 non-vtec, i was thinking of dropping a z6 head on it and then going turbo but i dont know what i should do. if i dont need the vtec then fine i dont have to spend the money on the head.

what is the power difference between vtec and non-vtec turbo?

 

i really dont think theres much difference if your turbo'd on a vtec engine, well of course there is a slight change in your power but im not sure if its that noticeable.

i had a d16a6 on my 87 crx and i was thinking of the exact same setup for it too. its kinda hard to find a nice vtec head for it though...ive been lookin

 

im kind of scared to turbo. i mean wont it rev past the rev limit depending on the boost? im not familiar with turbo but it always worried me what exactly happens.

it is different from NOS right? forgive me if i sound dumb.

 

you sound too dumb to even swap the head to a z6, much less install a turbo kit right...

 

haha

 

hey **** you douche bag. i am familiar with the D and B series motors. just cuz i never put a turbo in a car means im dumb? im admitting i am not familiar with turbo, its not exactly common knowledge dip ****.

 

Check out how a turbo works on wikipedia or how stuff works, it's pretty insightful. There would be a big difference in turbocharging in comparison to a stock VTEC engine. IMO VTEC isn't comparable to turbo.

Basically the problems with a turbo are due to poor tuning. Getting it tuned properly and upgrading some internal components to deal with the extra stress the higher pressures cause can make the setup reliable.

 

Boost is like crack.
