i am wantign to turbo my D16z6 and i am just curious to what all kits would work and more importantly do i need to purchase a new ecu and if so which ones would you reccomend

thank you

also this may sounds kinda stupid but will the extra power from the turbo put to much strain on an automatic transmission?>

 

just a little extra strain, dont kill it. As far as kits go, you are the ten millionth person to ask that, so use the search item, same for the ecu (just chip yours)

 

Can't chip an ECU with an automatic transmission, you'll need a full standalone unit or a manual swap.

 

good looking out, i was unaware of that

 

Well... you *can* do it but I'm clueless as to how. It's not an easy task and in most cases it doesn't work right, something to do with the clutch switch or something.

 

i guess bottom line, go stand alone like a AEM unit

 

Bottom line, don't waste your time with an auto Honda. [&:] Even if he does get the thing to work, he'll probably wreck the tranny.

 

ya you are going to put a lot of stress on the tranny, ditch the auto tranny and get a manual one before going turbo please.

 

yeah i plan on going with a manual but i had a buddy offer to help put in a turbo and would let me pay him back cause i am short on cash right now.... i will save up buy a manual and throw that in.. thanks for the help also

i have read the manual swap threads and just a few things on it to make sure im right.... i need a clutch assembly from any 92-92 and then exactly what trannys can i choose from i have a d16z6?

also would i ahve to buy any mounts or something if thats sort?

 

Being short on cash doesn't go well with turbocharging, in most cases. It usually leads to cutting corners, which results in spending more money than if it had been done right the first time. Not saying you will or anything, just saying be careful and know what you're getting into.
