i have a d16y8 in my 2000 ek and was thinking about boosting it with a turbonetics or garrett turbo kit off ebay and i was wondering what extra things would i need (new pistons, cams, etc...?) or do to run it (have it tuned by a shop??) im not looking sqeeze every bit out of the boost or my motor jus seeking for more power then what i have now. can someone break it down for the me the step and things i need to run it right without problems or long term issues and which turbo kit would be the best for a d16y8? thanks h-t!

 

Search, search, and search. You will find more than enough information on this specific topic. Trust me.

 

ebay kit+obd1 conversion+professional tune= a happier reliable you

 

hondata is your friend
=hondata
=you without hondata

 

yeap hondata, kit make sure it has everthing, new exhaust piping, gauges to montior, fuel pump mainly walbarco 255 will do great, this is just for a low boost set ie not boost higher the 7psi. if you go higher then new sleeves should hold up to 12psi or more but reminber more boost need more fuel, will hold more boost and if you go higher then piston, cams, manifold, and etc.

 

I just got done turboing my D16z6, First off.. Hondata = teh sux. Have a professional Tuner tune your **** with either EC tune or Crome. EC tune is WAY Better and has alot of goodies. Don't buy ebay it all is junk. I pieced my Kit together for under 1500. Main thing you need is ARP Head studs. Won't get far without those. Stock D16's can handle 230WHP With a Very good tune. mine at the moment has 180WHP because i had a problem with the waste gate and couldn't run over 7.7 PSI. The sol is currently running a low 13. I'm going back here soon and getting it tuned to about 225ish WHP on high boost should be pretty quick for just throwing a 14b (DSM) Turbo on there. If you have any more questions i can give you the full run down on what parts you need.

 

TURBO BASIC FAQ:

Firstly, an exhaust manifold comes from an NA motor, so you'll need a turbo manifold. They come in many forms, Ram horn, top mount, log manifold, etc... Log manifold is by far the cheapest and it spools really quickly -- plus it's quite reliable if build right the first time. Here's what else you'll need for your car:

Turbocharger: Pick which size and trim turbo is gonna work best for your application and goals. A regular T3 turbo is usually good for 250WHP, a t3/t4 up to 400WHP, and a t4 400+ WHP... I'd recommend a ball-bearing garrett turbo, a nicely sized t3/t4 turbo, not too large or too small TRIM/AR size.

Downpipe: Again must be custom for your turbo/manifold choice. A flex pipe and o2 bung are nice to have while creating a downpipe -- although not necessary.

Wastegate: Choose a wastegate size (also what psi spring you'd like to run) according to application such as amount of air flow and psi from turbo.. This is if you have a turbo that's externally wastegate powered..

Intercooler: Choose either a FMIC (Front Mount InterCooler) or Side Mount Intercooler. FMIC is the only way to go really for efficient cooling..

Blow off valve: This is actually an optional (but very recommended part). Doesnt really matter which one you choose. Pick a sound you like. Some people like to use ebay or cheap BOV's, but if it fails, you can hurt your turbo -- so don't really cheap out.

Fuel Management: One of the most important parts on your turbocharged car. I would highly suggest running a programmable chipped ecu or standalone device. I'd suggest Hondata or Crome..

Fuel Pump : You will probably need an upgraded fuel pump to support the added fuel consumption. Can be either internal or external -- I recommended the Walbro 2550LPH hi pressure fuel pump kit from injected-performance.com on H-T's marketplace for sponsors

Injectors : To support added air induction, more fuel is need... hence bigger injectors. Buy size according to application.

Map Sensor: Stock maps can only read up to ~10.63 psi, if you plan to go higher upgrade to a 2bar or 3bar map sensor.

Intercooler Piping: You can buy a ic piping kit, but usally will always take some modification to fit your exact application.. I believe ebay has some kits that have flanges made for the greddy BOV's for around $150 shipped

Couplers/t-bolts: You will need silicone couplers to bind the two intercooler pipes together as well as t-bolts -- I don't recommend screw clamps for anything other than for your intake pipes for your custom Short Ram

Oil drain/feed lines: Every turbo needs oil, so you must buy an oil feed and drain line kit. Stainless Steel lines are HIGHLY recommended. Rubber lines will get hot and can/will burst.

Vacuum Manifold: Not required but recommended to help organize vacuum lines and allow for good vacuum sources. I'd use Golden Eagle's Vacuum manifold.

Gauges: although not required, it's highly recommend so you can keep some status of motor operation. boost/oil pressure highly recommended

Spark plugs: Although not required, turbo temps can get high, so i recommend you step down two steps colder in your spark plugs. Also copper too.. You need NGK BKR7E.. For SOHC it's: ZFR7E-11 spark plugs..
