HELP! looking to turbo a d16y8

[nickb1570]

Im new to the honda game. and im looking to get a d16y8 for my 98 hatch and build it for turbo. Im looking to push 12-15 psi daily. (i know not an easy task) Im just in need of a parts list. Im going to get rods and pistons and obviously a manifold (prob ramhorn) and a turbo. im just unsure of everything else ill need. and where to get it. I was going to but a kit but iv hears its cheaper and you can get better quality from piecing one together. just need help on what to get and wheres a good place to get it.

You can buy a kit and not have to worry about taking so long to piece it together. Your main thing that will need to be done is tune. Pick some engine management. Also boost wise all psi is not the same. My 10psi may be your 20 psi

Look at go-autoworks-store.com they have a decently priced turbo setup for I think 2200

speedfactory also makes complete turbo kits that are a/c compatable.

also should i do amy headwork other than a port and polish

for 200-250whp a 100% stock head is fine

Save your money on other things before work on your head.
