Okay, i have a stock 2000 honda civic ex, D16Y8 motor (nothong done to it). I really want to turbo it, but i want to know what i need to replace in my engine before i even think about a turbo to get everything up to running condition (113,000 miles on the motor). Can somebody put together a list and the price it would cost for everything? including putting a turbo kit together. i am really interested in turbo'in the d, seeing as how tons of ppl do it and its good.
What do i need in upgrades?

As long as the compression is good for all four cylinders and everything is in good working order (seals / water pump / thermostat), then you can boost the motor on stock internals up to about 7-8psi.
Like I said in my first post, get the motor to pristine running condition (without performance upgrades) - just replace the seals / fix any current problems / replace water pump / thermostat and you should be ready to go (thats more than enough).Lordofdark176 said:well i dont want to put a turbo on an engine thats got weird problems that could become serious lol
Depends on exactly what you need to get your motor to that condition. I cant really tell you as I dont know your motor. But for the listed parts above, anywhere from $100-$200 (assuming you can install the parts yourself).Lordofdark176 said:how much would all this cost? lol
i hope u got ur 100k mile maintenance check up. all the belts replaced, all the seals, new fuel filter, spark plugs, wires. etc etc after that u should be ok
i actually have 113k on my 99 d16y8, i have a greddy kit hittin 5.5 psi (stock wastegate setting) no problems yet. i am tuned on hondata with rc 440's tho..

7-8psi on what turbo?? its not the psi that will f**k your engine, its the volume of air the turbo can movesk8shorty017 said:http://www.beesandgoats.com/boostfaq/g2icturbo.html
