forget the cheap ebay set up... you can build a turbo kit on the cheap with OE parts that are not ching chong and will last longer. Here is the list of everything you would need to buy:
-14B, T25 or 16G turbo (for stocky D16z6) these are all Mitsu turbos and easy to find. I have bought T25's (2g eclipse/talon) for $100. 14B is from a 1g eclipse/talon (better turbo IMO, more HP but will require some different IC pipe routing) Get the o2 housing with the turbo.
- 88-95 civic manifold ( commonly known as the STD manifold. 92-95 civic had them in the CX models)
-14B or T25 adapter plate to Honda manifold. Found on ebay, nicely machined
-450CC injectors (blue top Mitsu) with resistor box
-CX Racing FMIC and DIY pipe kit ( found on ebay for cheap, but CX Racing stuff is legit... their IC pipes are thick walled and sturdy)
-Stealthmode Performance Oil feed kit. Stealthmodeperformance.com They make them specific for these types of builds for Hondas.
-Chipped ECU or have your chipped and Tuned with the software of your choice. I always used CromePro cause that is what my tuner used.
-BOV of your choice: I liked the 1g DSM eclipse one, but my Greddy was neat too.
Random gaskets, can be found at local parts store.
Thats all you will really need. All this stuff can be found for cheap and you can make good safe power on a stock Z6 motor... but its all in the tuning again. You run this without tuning... you are screwed and your shizz will blow in no time.
I have had both on my Z6 and I prefer the 14b as it was easier to work with as for adapter plates etc and it makes more power. My civic had 236K original miles on the motor and I was running 8psi daily and was making 185hp at the wheels and 175tq... Got 32-34mpgs everyday of the week. The kit all said and down was under a grand with the tuning completed.
Search the internet better though, this has been done a thousand times. homemadeturbo.com has tons of this stuff and again... google search bro
