Hi guys I'm new to the car world and trying to learn as much as I can! I have a 90 civic hatch with a b16 non vtev my turbo is going bad I'm burning oil! I checked my oil to see for any resadue in my oil to make sure it wasn't my heads and I feel confident it's my turbo! Now my question is do I need a specific size turbo? I know I want a smaller turbo so I can build boost quicker but that's all I know lol so any help is appreciated thanks guys

 

I didn't know they made a non VTEC B16.

 

No it has vtec it's non vtev

 

Oh, right. I forgot they made the uber-rare JAYDEEIM Valve Timing Electronically Valved B16A head. Well, at least its not that one.

 

OP, are you serious? Pull it off and figure out what trim it is... Most likely a 57 trim T3 or the likes... At least post pictures if you are absolutely clueless.

 

Ok guys that didn't answer my question though

 

Are you wanting a smaller turbo or the same one you have then? If we give you a turbo how do we know what you currently have to base something off of? What are you wanting - part numbers? I gave you a baseline of a trim number... if you want part numbers what is your budget? Do you want ball bearings? What style exhaust housing? Ect, ect.... It kind of matters what you have now as much as it doesn't seem like it...

 

take some pics of your setup. then we can help you out more.

 

Ok I see sorry bout that like I said I'm new to cars but thanx for telling me what I need to find out! I'll do some research n figure out details of what I have! All I know is it's a cheap eBay turbo
