ight im getting a d16a6 motor swap but im goin to build it turbo and i need to kno if i have to change out anything big i kno i have to have low compression pistons and turbo cams can some one give me lik a site for cheep turbo kits and pistons an stuff i really need alot of info in what i need to/should do

nah man you dont "have" to change out those parts, how much boost do you want to run, how much power do you want to make? you can make a good 170/180 whp safely on all stock internals and cams

i wouldnt go cheap anything on a turbo setup. you get what you pay for, and with a turbo setup puting stress on all your parts your more likely to blow your motor faster. you dont need to change anything internal. fuel injectors and fuel pump are basically it and even then you dont HAVE to change those, but you should.

FIRST, before anything, you should search.

Everyone's capable of www.yahoo.com and typing in what they're looking for. It's really the only way to learn what your looking for. As far as a build for your motor, a mild build might consist of:

pistons
rods
re-sleeved
camshaft
springs & retainers

Something like that should hold you to ~10psi +/-, but your build really depends on what you want.

As far as your turbo kit, just piece it together. It's much cheaper and can sometimes even put out more power, plus you learn. You might say, but I don't know alot about turboing, I can't put my kit together. I'd put together a list, but I've done it so many times before. When it comes down to forced induction, even if you buy a kit, you need to know what your doing. So..my best advice to you at this point would be to research / learn.

oh and..

the junkyard is your friend

belongs in forced induction tech. moved

yeah talk to biz, he will let you know whats up

might want to invest is gauges to monitor different systems

 

[Steven.]

Boost gauge, oil pressure, EGT, A/F(with wideband ofcorse), water temp. 5 of the most important gauges with turbo.

I guess if you're going to be boosting 24/7 you would NEED those gauges. As for me, I'm fine with only my boost and oil pressure gauge. My car is for daily driving tho and not a full race car. When I do start converting over to full race I will be installing a EGT gauge but untill then I'm fine with what I have

yo thanks alot guys so im jus going to buy prob a full kit then later on buy the internals but that was some good info but im prob going to try an run like 9 psi without changin out internals then after i do prob around 12-15 ima try but thankx alot
