I am a newbie for Turbo's. My friend has a Turbo Del Sol and is parting out with his turbo. He has a SOHC VTEC motor. I was thinking of installing his home made turbo in my car. The problem is, I have an D16Y7 Motor, Non-vtech and Automatic on a Honda Civic Sedan LX. I don't know how this will handle, and nobody in Hawaii has attempted this before. It's a TD04ing-H Turbo that's go in my car. Most of the parts are homemade (downpipe, etc.) to fit my car. What do I need to do to make sure this motor doesn't blow with the installment or blow in a couple of months? Or should I just not put in a the turbo at all? The only reason why I'm doing this now over the motor swap is that it's not costing me much. Any suggestions? I would really appreciate it.

 

the engine will hold 6 or 7 psi just fine... however you'll need a tranny cooler for that slushbox...

 

You'll need to modify the charge piping to get it to connect with your vertical TB. Or you can just swap in an EX intake manifold.
