Default New Memeber ! NY

I just joined this forum from a buddy recommending me to this site.I am located in Upstate NY.Just picked up a week ago a 92 civic hatch.And trying to learn as much as possible about the car...

Mods are
Dyno @ 260 whp with 217 torque
D16y8 with 15k
Built(forged internals)
GT6028R
3 inch downpipe and exhaust
450cc
CHROME
OMNI adjustable coils
Omni Control arms
HX rims
Probably missing some stuff

But I had a few questions like what type of oil to use on a turbo d. And which Spark plugs.Thought id ask on here as well as search.

Thank you !

I would definetly say 1-2 heat ranges colder than a stock plug. And for the Oil any synthetic 5w30 - 10w30 will be sufficient.

Everyone will say "this brand is best"

I prefer AmsOil.

Just my $.02

full synthetic is good, but it has a tendacy to eat away seals and gaskets.... especially the rear turbo seal. im a fan on the castrol syntec blend.
