Integra turbo

[Integra89]

hey guys, just ndering if anyone knows about a turbo kit for a 87 integra D16A engine? iv had a quick look on the forum but couldnt see anything about it? also would u need to change the gearbox or would the stock one hold up?

[Fo55il]

ill jump in before sum1 else before says that.

search first

but ill try not to be a k*nt n drop sum basics hea

depends wat u want to achieve,

stock boost -> ur engine n everythin will hold depending on current conditions.

theres a few ppl on d forums sellin a d16 kit. ill see if i can find em for u.

at the end of the day its just wat u wanna achieve.

[A-man]

yeh if u get the basic civic kit u can adjust it to fit the integra but i dont think its a great deal different

It's good now esp with exchange rate atm. Check with Jason at Treadstone if he knows anything about the intercooler piping and the downpipe fab for the 89teg.

yea but its the car that my d is in, there arnt many of these cars getting around as it is, let alone turbo, what u mean u recommend boost over b16?

[Fo55il]

i rather drive a d turbo
than a b16
or a b18

get me ?

but then again i rather drive a b18 turbo than
a b16 turbo or a d16 turbo

[Integra89]

yea i get that, but the engine is fine and like i said, im not going for mass amounts of speed, just for somthing diffrent

[Fo55il]

ye just boost it man.

[Integra89]

yea well my "fast" car is a fairmont, sp yea iv found a joint in melbourne that can make a full turbo kit including intercooler and all for about $600, sound ok?

[Fo55il]

thats pretty fukin cheap

ur boosting ur integra right?

600 is awesome price

any warranty ?

[Integra89]

yea the integra, yea thats wot i thought, mind u not installed and the parts arnt like massively known ones, then you get a bit more but they say they can make a good turbo kit for $600, yea its got like a year or 2 warranty on it i think, and if they use second hand parts E.G the turbo they check and play in the rotor shaft and all that and rekit if needed

[Fo55il]

where is dis shop ?

[Integra89]

where is dis shop ?

ringwood, i can get the for you if u like? i cant remember the name of the joint though

[Lukezen27]

I call shenanigans!

$600 is only $100 more than just buying RC 440CC injectors...........

What could possibly be included in this kit?

[Fo55il]

thats waht uim curious about

[Integra89]

I call shenanigans!

$600 is only $100 more than just buying RC 440CC injectors...........

What could possibly be included in this kit?

like i said everythng, manifold, intercooler and piping, turbo, oil lines, bov, dump pipe, oil catch can ect. ect. ect...the catch is its no all well known stuff like garret or anything, but for what im looking for i really dont mind about brands

[Q_ball]

What ecu do u plan on running with this 600 buck gear?

600 bucks for an entire "kit"... you can afford to take the risk and still have money left over to repair any mess LOLLL

Jst so you know, an average figure for a low-mid range turbo kit is about 5k ;)

Honestly, mate!

You’re asking for trouble you don’t want.

There is no way in hell this kit will be any good and more than likely do damage to your motor…

I mean that’s even cheaper than those eBay kits that fall apart just weeks after install.

If you do decide to take the risk make sure you start a thread with the outcome for other to learn what not to do.

Do a search on this site… there are threads of where people who have said “”I’ll take the risk and buy a eBay kit what’s the worst that can happen””

Both ended badly even though everyone tried to warn them not to buy crap…

They ended up changing close to everything before they were happy with there new projects.

Save your cash and buy a known brand kit

i do understand what you guys are saying, and im not one to say "whats the worst that could happen" im a mechanic, i know what can happen, but this is just a mess around car, i picked it up for $100, if it blows up then it blows up, then i have somthing to rebuild for a few years in my spare time, and if it doesnt then i got lucky

[Fo55il]

ok thsi is gettin wierd now

so ur a mech ?

n 5k is a bit too much for a mid range kit. luke n i both did it for way less than that.

suss out wat brands they r using, but 600 isnt too bad even if its not that well known. worsse comes to worse. new engine .

y is me being a mechanic weird? yea 5k for mid? i wouldnt spend that much on a mid range turbo kit, thats getting to the high end stuff

[destrukshn]

because it doesn't seem like you know what even a cheap turbo conversion would cost.
IF you got everything for $600.
it won't even work.
hahaha.
okay for the bare essentials for it to work.
you will need a
turbo
manifold
different dump pipe
air filter
piping from turbo to intake
oil lines
ecu
injectors
vacuum lines, and t pieces.

i'm not adding a intercooler, becuase you can run without one, but it would run like shit.
i'm not adding a exhaust, becuase you don't have to upgrade, but it would run like shit.
if you can get all that for $600, and actually make it work.
by jebus you've yourself a bargain.

[Fo55il]

u dont need injectors, but still

600 is cheap

wen r u gettin this ? i wouldnt mind meeting up n checkin it out

[Lukezen27]

That's the go Fo55il :thumbsup:

Check it out for us and tell us know whats deal :p

[lookingforboost]

the turbo will probally fall appart first... you can do it cheaper if you do all the labour your self and honestly if you get the high end gear for a turbo kit there will be over 5k in parts before you get it installed even at trade prices..... trust me i know

let me know if you want to buy some real turbo gear caz i have some garrett turbos here turbosmart bovs boost controllers etc.....:P

[A-man]

i wouldnt b the quickest to burn people...

im using a ebay kit was similar for 750 and i spent 5k doin mine with no labour....


mine works really well touch wood no problems except tune... i think theres 2 types of chinese gear some stuff l8ly seems to b coming from taiwan and its thicker steel with the manifolds and a few other diffs but the chinese stuff is really thin and easily cracks u all know this....

i think it depends how u install it and what procautions u take when ur instaling it. however quality does make a diff

but for that price i rekon u would b spending that much gettin pipes and clamps and silicon joiners for that much and even a catch can a cheap one is 60 bucks and a off the shelf one is over 100 bucks.... so keep all that in mind when ur buying these kits its bang for buck

how much is all this stuff worth if u buy it in a shop compared to off the net even intercoolers if the kit comes with it and u change the turbo ur already ahead

ok let me explain here, im a truck mechanic, i know what goes into installing a turbo...does anyone really know why the turbo was invented? it was around the 40's to produce better fuel ecconamy, and someone realized if you cool the air it will produce more power, i know you can run it without an intercooler, now, what im saying is not that i can get the best parts for this price, this is what I have been quoted by joint that is a honda sepecilast, they are the ones saying they can make me this kit and that it will not have a problem, i never said it wouldnt, infact i said if it doesnt have problems im lucky

the best i could do was a custom kit from a workshop in airport west for $5000.

but they wernt a honda performance shop, just a random performance shop....

good luck with it, it was alwaysd a dream of mine to boost the old d16a

yea man, like iv said before help is always better, so yea if u wanna help for sure, but it is a little far away lol

$600, you'll be lucky to pick up a decent second hand garrett (might be able to pickup a cheap bush bearing one for $300) & a decent manifold will set you back at least about $300 for a cast iron one.
And a tune will set you back at least $600.
Those are at least the main things i would look at

yea well like i said this is what they said they could do, so maybe it isnt right but yea

[Fo55il]

600 for a tune?

[VTi_b0i]

yeahh man...

[Fo55il]

thats pretty steep.

i got mine done for way less from a very reputable shop

[VTi_b0i]

maybe u were lucky :p most places i know of are all around that price... and lets face it, u dont want to go to a place simply because its cheap, as it could be the difference between your motor lasting 2months or 2 years...

[Fo55il]

nah mang, reputable

ART in heidleberg.
