I want to get the turbo setup and piston and rods. Can someone please point me in the right direction for purchase? I just bought a Civic and don't mind spending an extra $2,000 on performance and $2,000 on looks. It already came with lowering springs and shocks, shaved door handles and short throw shifter. It's a d16.

 

Just get a compression test and leakdown test done if you want to use your motor. If it's healthy you can go up to 180whp without haveing to worry about the internals (atleast for awhile). Have you ridden in a daily driven civic with over 200whp? Even 150whp in a civic will feel powerful compared to what 105whp stock?

 

really?



i actually talked directly to a guy that ports heads for a profession and told me it'd get around 15.

But i've heard good things about both GReddy and Edelbrock kits, although piecing a kit together would be cheaper, but no matter what turbo setup you have, an OBD1 tune is the way to go for engine/fuel managemnt.

 

Actually it's 106 hp at the crank, even less at the wheels. Would I still have to get it tuned for 180 whp? I live in a small town, I'll have to look for a tuner somewhere else...

 

You could use the emanage temporarily, but it's highly recommended to have it properly tuned for the health and longevity of your engine.

 

200whp is doable in a B16, it is just expensive. Thats why everyone always goes boost instead but when it comes to boost vs n/a with the same hp, the n/a motor is going to win. Someone on d-series.org has an n/a d16 with ITB's and a crower stage 3 cam (I don't know his full setup) and is making 173whp so I don't see why it would be so hard to make less than 30 more with a b16. It just depends on how much you are willing to spend...

Click It -> N/A B16

 

I have the Greddy kit on my Z6. the e-manage makes it runs rich as hell. but i think that can be cleared up with a dyno tune or the proper software and a laptop. idk.
I'm happy with it but I'm only running 5 lbs of boost I want to adjust it to7 lbs but didn't want to go though the trouble of gettinga boost controller. traction will be an issue. Say goodbye to 1st gear and part of 2nd. ha!
Anybody know how to adjustthe internal wastegate on the TD04?

 

I have the greddy turbo setup as well, I agree with the whole E-manage is a piece of ****, I had it on, had it tuned in san diego, and it still ran rich as hell. I fouled my high flow cat up, and burnt out my o2 sensor because of it. I ditched it, and went with a F-Con V-Pro, which i don't reccomend if your on a budget, but if you have some money to throw into your car it is the way to go. The major downfall to it, is it has to be tuned professionally, but it has the option of so many upgrades down the road. If your looking for a full on kit, i think the edelbrock one is probably the better one to go with. I haven't heard any complaints about it.

 

where are you getting 140hp? the b16a2 is rated at 160hp and 112lb ft. 200hp at the crank shouldn't be difficult at all. throw in a stroker kit, I/H/E and a set of stage 2 cams, and you are gonna be right in that ballpark.

 

Just get nitrous then you can get your 300/ 400 horsepower easy as ****!!! Lol
