I've got a 96 civic ex with the stock d16y8, i've recently thought about going turbo. Every one i've asked about this has given me different answers. My main question is when i put the turbo kit on do you have to get it dyno-tuned, Can anybody help me. I know dyno-tuning will give me the best performance, But does it have to be done?

 

it has to be done if you want it to be a reliable DD, if you dont tune it, you may never even get the full power out of your turbo..

 

my advice its too tune it.

 

short answer no, long answer yes.

any serious modification requires tuning or your motor will eventually die prematurely.

I don't mean to sound insulting, but obviously you are not ready to go turbo because you don't understand what is going on when you make such a modification. At best you will not get the desired effect you're after, and at worst you will be out of a car.

 

i agree with this guy ^^ lol

 

Well you have to learn some how and i'm a hands on learner. Well thanks for your replys
