Turbo the SOHC

[turbowhat_n_dat]

I can tell you I have an F-Max kit on my car pushing 197whp @ 12psi for 2 years on all stock internals. This kit came with everything you need for the first timer if thats what you are. It has extra injectors for you fuel problems, a thicker headgasket, a fuel management piggyback, a t3/t4 turbonetics snail, Tial wastegate (open loop), HKS blow off valve, and a decent intercooler. I have had no problems with this kit from day one, just my .02

I also agree that building a kit is the way to go to save money, you can piece together a great kit for about $1500.00, then use the other $1500.00 you would have used for a bottom end. www.homemadeturbo.com

The edlebrock kit would be great along with 1/2 these kits that the others have listed, however the majority of them use closed loop gates. Have fun with that...................the edlebrock kit comes with everything you need and dont need, it comes with a intake manifold which is great since everyone wants to open up there stock manifold anyway to breath better. It also comes with your basic boost gauge and pod which most ppl forget to factor in when piecing a kit together.

Anyway hope that helped some, come join us at
www.d-series.org in the forced induction forum

a read on turbod16 where a guy had only a few internal mods and had the edelbrock 1500 kit.. he was running 10lbs of boost and pulling out like 286hp

1500 bucks is alot of money??? you can put 1500 worth of parts on a civic and have it be just as quick as a v8...just need to know what you are doing.

and oh yeah, youve said that civics are slow as f**k in almost every post you ahve made. we all know this, obviously, becuase we own em!! so lets stop being redundant.

maybe with a built block and more boost or on a b18c/b20

 

[ChErRyLiCiOuS]

my bad ''SeanMc300''
i guess there is no need to always point out how slow they are.. i didnt think i did it that much but obviously if other people are noticing i guess i am

 

[SeanMc300]

well its not like im yelling at you, it just gets old. we allllll know it....everytime we drive our civics. but ofcourse a camaro v8 is gonna be faster than a civic i4...DUH!

 

[Smij008]

on a stock d16y8 motor in 97 civic ex.... which is a overall better buy, the MaxRev turbo kit for $2750 or the Edelbrock #1500 kit for $3100.... or there are any better buys out there for stock d16y8, suggestions would be great

 

[child_racer]

here are some of the dyno runs from turbo D16. it also shows what they used to build the block (if they did) they still pulled some impressive numbers. espically the stock internal ones. i was surprised

child_racer, thanx man I've been looking for that damn post since Createadilema called me out on the BS meter when I posted that I had seen stock D's go over 300whp. Now he can BS himself to death with his B...................

yeah you are right, gee im lying, im just trying to be cool...you f**ktard. ive witnessed it happen. but if you dont belive me, fine. there is a video on www.turbod16.com with (i think) pollitos turbo d16 beating a mustang.....yup im lying huh.

 

[edhgreatone]

ouch.... turbo d16's are under rated.... just because it SOHC people think, well the majority of people think you can't pull our with big HP numbers but when i started looking into i was not only surprised but it changed my mind on doing the swap

what the f**k are you talking about crack ass.

Youre a f**king dumb tool. First you PM me saying your sorry for starting drama with me, and then you start s**t again? f**k you. At first I didn't like you, but your message to me created a clean slate. Now, Im afraid youre on my s**t list.

First off... "I had seen stock D's go over 300whp". Thats wrong just to start with. Stock D's make 126 to the crank. I know you're talking about turbo with a stock block, but thats bullshit too. Maybe it *can* happen, for like 5 minutes on the dyno before it grenades.

The rods can't support that much pressure. YES, you CAN make 300 whp out of a D, but it takes new rods/pistons, imho sleeves (although, yes you can push a tad over 300 hp on the stock sleeves), a good turbo (gt28r or a t3/t4 hybrid), a s**t ton of tuning, and of course the rest of the turbo system (which Ill choose not to say, because Im getting tired of putting no0b b***h asses like you in their f**king place).

Im still calling until I see a dyno sheet and at least a list of what he has in his engine. Saying the dude "only a few internal mods and had the edelbrock 1500 kit.. he was running 10lbs of boost and pulling out like 286hp" is too vague. 10 psi on a t3/04 on a d series WILL NOT bring you up to 286. Thats 16.6 hp gain per psi, which doesn't happen on a 1.6 SOHC.

I wanna turbo my car. But I don't wanna go all out. I just wanna get a kit that puts out the most power for the buck. If I'm not into tuning, would supercharger be a better way to go? And how does the supercharger sound on a civic?

Turbo is the way to go. Superchargers are weak in civics.

The more HP/PSI you push, the more tuning you will need to do. So just get a conservative, run of the mill kit and don't mess with it other than a BOV and an FMIC and you'll be coo.

custom applications are better because you build it to your specs. plus you can get some good deals. as far as the d series is concerned though dont bother. by the time your done you couldve dropped a b18 in for only a little more and be making the same power. just a thought.

i disagree. for 2000 grand you can get the GReddy kit and intercooler and be pushing ~200whp and a little less torque. b18's are at least 3 grand just for the motor. Then you have to buy the mounts and install it.

I do agree with custom kits though. Just not for newbs/ricers.

all very good points. and you are right about the price difference. but if you dont want to blow your motor your gonna want a new ECU and a professional dyno tune. it would be a little more expensive but when you get done turboing that d series what are you gonna do next to add power. when you finish the swap youll make almost the same power as the turbo d but be NA. leaving the potential for a turbo in the future and being much faster than you will ever be in a d series. if your happy at 200hp and below though then go for it. this is only my advice.
