D series turbo, what do you think????
I have a 96 DX civic hatch with the stock D 16 non v tehc with 130xxx miles
Im going turbo, this what im planning to do before i throw on the turbo:
stage 1 ACT clutch
2000 EX manifold
AEM fuel rail and regulator with RC injectors (3?? dont know which ones)
Cometic head gasket
JE rings
and im shot peening(dont think i spelled it right) the rods
(im doubful if i should wait and get JE pistons but i dont have much money)
MSD ignition distributor cap and already have MSD conductor 8.5mm wires
a Skunk2 camgear
This is the turbo that im piecing 2gether
I already have a T3/T4 turbo mint no shaft play or nothing,
a custom turbo manifold, downpipe.
What im planning to get is custom piping and a $250 FMIC from Ebay, Greddy Type S bov, Greddy turbo timer and boost controler,
tial wastegate and all the other things.
Let me know what you guys think. Any comments,suggestions, are welcome. I plan to boost 7-8 psi at daily driving, I dont race that much but when I do i was thinking boostin 10 psi at the most. Do you guys think thats safe? Im not a mechanic or have a lot of knowledge about forced induction or engines, This my first project and my friends that knows a whole lot more than me are going to help me and ill try to learn more. Do you guys think its safe because of the engines age and milage?
