i know its kinda a turbo topic but i thought you guys might be assistance.... ok ive always wanted to build a turbo honda... and saw that turbo kits for the EX vtec are pretty cheap.. around 1500... heres the block package: (92-95 Civic, Del Sol, SOHC, 16 Valves, VTEC, EX, Si D16Z6)


and heres the turbo....

1992-95 Honda Civic EX VTEC
Includes - Cast Mani, FCU, Air Intake, piping, hoses oil lines and misc. hardware. TD40H-15G 11550021A $1550..00


please.. correct me if i am wrong but thats a turbocharged 1.6L vtec engine for $2100-2200 not including all the stuff you need to replace while installing...
I feel that i am missing something here, or have been misinformed that this turbo/block setup will work... if im right, tell me the drawbacks of turbocharging this engine.... even so, after replacing pistons and valvetrain (****.. now that i think of it i dont know who makes cams for the d series but zex??) wouldnt this be a somewhat hearty combination??
im just wondering what the drawbacks are of this setup, because for 2200 ive gotta be missing something.

 

yea. you could use an intercooler which would take different charge piping(more money), and you would definetly use a BOV. at 6 psi the car should only be runnig 14.5-15.0. crank the boost and you need to do fuel upgrades. try searching the forced induction forum for "dseries turbo setup"

 

well lets say putting that in a second generation crx or hatch would i be looking at low 14s or possibly 13s with 6-10p boost... would it bolt directly in? or would i need custom mounts/shift linkage/axles ect?

 

i have a 99 civic ex sohc d16y8 greddy kit a cam and front mount i ran a 14.3 and that was with a 2.4
60' time i like it alot good kit
