im buying my turbo set up tomorrow, and im not sure what psi to run it on with a completly stock motor. any help. im not looking in to blowing it up. i just want it to be quick and reliable

 

u can run up to 220 whp on d's

 

that kind of thing really depends on your turbo/kit bolt ons etc...


But a good starter point is to run something under 10PSI maybe 7 or 8. Your goin to get it tuned right?

 

is it a must a tune a boosted D

im saving up for it and i was jw

 

how can you say 220 is the max?!?!

I've personally run a bone stock Z6 on 16 pounds of boost daily driven and it was well over 220 horses. I'm not trying to say he should do that but it can be done and if tuned correctly it can be safe.

 

You don't necissarily have to have it fully tuned on Hondata, Neptune, AEM etc.. but you'll need at least an FMU and missing link. The FMU's kinda old school and some say ghetto but it's a cheap easy way to run a low PSI daily car that can be pretty quick. but if you have the money deff. get it tuned by someone who knows what they are doing! It's worth it

 

absolutely. if you said you want it to be RELIABLE, then it's an absolute MUST to get a tune or at least a basemap, none of that VAFC street tuning, get a REAL tune or it won't last as long as you would like it to, or get the gas mileage for the horsepower you are putting down.

 

yessir. im taking it to auto logixs in houston. they got some sick set ups there. the motor is stock. it just got swapped before i bought it. and instead of going through the trouble of a swap i went turbo D series. SOHC FTW!! but yea no bolt ons. jsut stock. turbo kit is a airesearch. all the other parts are respectable names as well

 

oh **** i never really considered a price for a tune. =/ how much is ir roughly?

 

no higher than 8 psi without a tune.

I've seen up to 18-20 psi on a stock motor, just had a really good tune.

 

it all depends on what obd your car/motor is and what ecu you have in it. if u need a conversion harness p28 ecu or p06. and what software you are planning on using.

with ecu and converison harness with uberdata- 300-500

without ecu and converison harness-150-300.

with ecu converison harness and neptune or somthing the same about 400-600

without out ecu and conversion harness and neptune 250-400

all different turners have different prices

o thats for a dyno tune btw.

street tune is cheaper.

 

run 10 to 12psi i did it on an untuned zc vtec single cam n smashed on k20 swaped crx's n b20 vtecs all day long!!!!! N all it was was t3/t4 turbo 310 injectors n chiped ecu

 

that makes me smile cuz i want to boost mine and to know that a D can smash on sick cars liek that makes me pop bon3r

 

if you have a d16y8 or y7 you better port and shim your oil pump cause if you dont your **** will be ****ed up in about a week cause i hade a d16y8 on 12psi daily driven and my 4th bering went out cause the y8 oil pumps suck dude...but while it lasted i rape a lot of people

 

i got a mini me swap not sure exactly what kinda of head is on but i know its a D16 head


any way to tell?

 

honestly there truly isnt a way to figure it out unless you know the differnces in all the kinds of head and i wouldnt care about which head...if its vtec its either y8,z6,or an a6...if its non vtec its either y7 or some ****

 

I dunno what you're takin about dude..my Y8 did fine. as does a friend of mine whos runnin an Edelbrock kit on his Y8 without trouble makin over 220whp

 

dude what iam saying is that my y8 blew up cause the oil pump sucks

 

well my block says D15b but i have a Vtec head but still a non vtec ECU but the guy who sold it to me said its a D16 head and the valve cover looks like this

http://www.j-k-tuning.com/images/For...valvecover.JPG

so im guessing its D16 but the exact type im confuse of

(got that pic off google so thats not my actual valve cover)

any help would be great

Thanks!!!!!

 

i believe the D15B is a JDM motor..im not really a jdm person..i could care less about jdm but it does come vtec..the head should have some kind of code on it..like P06 or sumthin like that..

 

sometimes people get kinda crazy here on honda-tech and they start to lose their heads..they dont read what people want..YOU SAID YOU WANT IT TO BE RELIABLE AND NOT TO BLOW IT UP..

you said nothing about how much power can i get out of a stock block..and you're not trying to push it to the limit..

my stock motor blew up making 220whp on 9lbs..bent a rod..but really who cares about my motor..

you want something fun..that you can drive everyday and be reliable..6 or 7 lbs should be plenty fun with a small turbo..once you start getting into ecu tuning your car becomes less reliable..but yes it is nice to have the car tuned..and anytime you boost a motor there is that possiblity that it will blow..something..anything can happen..but good luck..

 

sorry to get off the topic but to say that your motor blew because the oil pump sucks is pretty funny..you heard someone else say that about the y8 motor and you're repeating it..either your motor was run low on oil at one point..or your oil pump failed..or your revving ur motor to high..or if it was a built motor your clearances may not have been right..dont get me wrong..i have heard that the y8 oil pumps dont like high rpm but i still rev mine to 8300

 

noob here. i have a few question.

first, i have an acura 1.6 el and it has a stock d16 motor sohc vtec, what kind of turbo would be good for it?

second, im planning to keep it stock for now and maybe upgrade a few parts as i go along, what should be the safe psi for it?

lastly, what is better? boost it or just get a dohc swap?

thank u..

 

not to be rude but start another thread if you have ?'s about your setup..i know ur new but this thread is to answer his ?'s, start another one so people can cater to your ?'s..if you need help on how to do it you can pm me..the names shawn

 

i have a stock d16z6 (mini me) stock internals
its on neptune we made 255 whp with full exhaust and probably 300 whp open
15psi ive also ran it with 20psi but i was afraid of the boost cut so we put it back to 15
its also my daily driver, drive from work to home and to friends house
soo its allllll abbout the tune
TUNE IS A MUST!
