ive looked around a bit but couldnt really find a sticky on wich motors to turbo and not to and hp capabilities on wich engines that are turbo'd

ive recently totaled my 85 daytona turbo z..... im lookin to get a civic as u can one a dim a dozen local car dealer has a civic ex for 8,999 its a 99civic ex wich engine do they have?

also if i bought the ex ... i can get a complete turbo kit for around 950$ on ebay can i bolt that on and run low boost till i build a complete new motor on the side

last question.... will the b18c1 block be a direct drop in on a civic ex? id like to get a b18c1 and a b18a head can you gimme some links to where i can find these motors

 

Welcome to the forum. If you plan on doing a swap get an EG (1992-1995) Civic. That turbo kit you speak of for $950 on ebay is garbage. Its sold by SSAUTOCHROME right? Check their feedback and see if you still want to buy anything from them. You can pretty much fit any honda motor into an EG, and the B18C1 will be an awesome choice, adding a B16 head will lower the compression a bit and make it perfect for boost. Welcome aboard.

 

98 ex has a d16y8.

 

i jsut got off the phone with the guy ... said he has same exact car its a d16 he said he turbo charged his, added forged internals and etc, he said u can build the d16 up just as easy as u can any other engine just duno if i wanna pay 9grand for a civic it is in perfection condition and low miles though

 

I too have a turbo D series. Put a SOHC in it.

 

i think he said it was sohc

can u gimme a few performance site links so i can lookin to injectors, internals and parts for heads like vavles, springs, lifters

i looked at the reviews on that turbo kit they all said good things about it and him, their wa only 14 bad reviews out of 2,000+

 

I know the D16Y8 is a SOHC. So is the D16Z6 which is what I have. Can you send me a link to this turbo kit? PM me if your worried someone else is going to buy it. I can tell you right away if its a bad idea or not.

 

link
thats the turbo kit i was looking at

also , can i run 5psi-10psi on stock injectors or should i invest in some highflow injectors

i also cant seem to see any water/oil plugins on the exhaust side of the turbocharger, and didnt see no coolant lines for the turbo in this add, to have to buy this stuff seperate or does this kit not need that?

 

B18C1 block, B16A2 head, B18C1 intake cam, B18C5 exhaust cam. good setup for boost.

 

That is the Turbo kit Pete is trying to steer you away of...
