I threw a home made turbo kit together for 300 dollars, but ive ran into alot of problems with spinning bearings and detonation. its all in the fuel managment and tuning. i never put it on the dyno because it never lasted long enough to make it there. -Ben

 

 

DOHC Turbo

 

I have a SOHC Turbo setup. Done properly (way too much money) to accomodate high boost.

w/8 psi, 135 WHP(on dyno)
I have added a boost controller & plan on re-tuning the E-Manage soon. I currently run @ 10-11 psi w/no issues. Hoping to get up to >15 psi when it gets back on the Dyno. This is my daily driver, so I'm in no rush to attain light speed.

Although better than a stock DOHC setup, the cost was too much when compared to a B16 swap.

I have to say though, when someone w/a coffee can runs up my backside on the highway & I downshift. It's priceless when they take the very next exit.

Just realize that a proper Turbo setup costs alot of time & money.

 

You only made 135whp at 8psi? That's not a very good number no matter what turbo you are using. I made 126WHP naturally aspirated on my D16 with basic bolt ons and a Hondata. At 8psi even on a small 15g, for example, a D16 should make 170-180whp.

 

My DelSolSi was an auto when the original tuning was done. IT's now a 5 speed. My definition of WHP is @ the wheel. Did U interpret it to mean FlyWheel ?

 

HAHAHAHAHA, sorry, that was just funny.

 

No, I meant at the wheel. My Y8 made 126 at the wheels with just bolt ons and Hondata, but it is a 5 spd.

 

Dohc swap then add spray.
