I want to build my stock 96 civic ex

[Grace274]

I have a 1996 civic ex coupe all stock I want to turbo it what do I need to do to get it ready.

its not as easy as dropping a turbo in and it makes all kinds of power u gotta do a good bit of research

 

[Grace274]

I've done some research is this a good build-tuner toys rods, vitaria piston, Orm bearings, shimmed and ported oil pump, arp head studs,3 layer head gasket then turbo kit said it should put out 300whp what do you think.

those sound like mods that the "wanna-be-fast" people say when someone asks what motor parts they have and they know its a stock motor..

Whats a good way to build the D16

first things first.. how many hp do you want to make? after that search what will be the best parts to get ur botton ready ( always build it for more than your going for) you will need a good cam, ecu, maybe valves and springs + retainers.
vitaras are good but you will also need rods....
im sure ppl can help just be a little more specifit

btw how many miles does your engines have, i hope is a 5 sp, what kind of kit are you getting?

you forgot injectors and if its a kit then it should come with the turbo and mani fold and oil lines but then you also need the intercooler and hardpipes and hondata or some form of it. theres a lot more to it then some think.
