Hey guys I'm new to the import scene. My name is Ryan,I was looking at the civic turbo kits and was thinking of doing one. My civic has the D16 engine in it, now how much will the engine/ tranny hold up to. I was told by some local import guys at a place called Dreammakers Customs, that the setup that is currently in the engine would hold up to a turbo kit with about 7psi very well, without any problems. (If properly setup) I'm not really looking for some major horsepower or anything, just something that will occasionally go stoplight to stoplight with. But will also be very reliable. I was looking at some kits on Ebay, they come with a T3/T4 turbo hybrid, and an intercooler with the piping. What is that turbo? Is it any good? I couldn't really get a straight answer. I have done a little research and only know what I have read about turbo's. If there are any sites that anyone knows about that would give a picture(s) of a turbo build on a similar Civic, that would be great. Or any sites that would be helpful for my first build up. I found a complete list of things that I would need for a build on this site. https://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_400322/tm.htmAnd that was very helpful. Just mostly looking for some info til the summer when I have some money.

Thanks guys
Ryan
