D16Y4 Turbo kit ( i understand this has been brought up abit)

[ek lover]

Hey Guys,

im new to the Car Modifing scene and have been out of the car scene for a few years. i currently own a 1996 Honda Civic cxi hatchback which is in unreal condition and low k's. Within the next few weeks ill be looking to modify it with the usual bodykit, rims, suspension, turbo and a few other things; the point of this post is to clarify a few things (older posts are dated to far back) and make sure im going in the right direction.

I understand that alot of people do go with the Peakboost turbo kit as it seems to be realible at 7psi on stock internals. what are the pros and cons with going with peakboost? who supplies this either within brisbane or other states are fine.

With the other posts that i have come across they mainly talk about what they are going to do to the engine and thats about it. with adding this turbo kit on, would i be looking at upgrading the gearbox and clutch to cope with this? would i need to upgrade the CV joints? is there anything else running gear wise which i will need to upgrade?

i know there are some basic questions however i was not able to find answers for these.

i hope someone is able to help me.

if noone is wanting to put input as its been covered so many times - who are thereputable tuners in brisbane that i could personally go down and talk to? i live in the north side..

Please someone point me in the right direction.

[Riced_Civic]

the only auth dealer is Akmotorwork and are in Melb but they can post the kit out to u.

the pros is that u would very close to double or a bit over (like my self) ur current power.

cons the the kit is a bit on the expensive side

theres no need to upgrade the gearbox really as im still running stock.

i do suggest changing the clutch and flywheel as u will need the clutch to hold the new power.

CV joints u can leave stock unless urs are rooted otherwise theres no point.

[ek lover]

Thanks for your input man i appreciate this.

Yeah i will definately go with peakboost then, ill get in contact with akmotorworks and get this organized.

Okay awesome so i can practically leave the running gear all the same - clutch and flywheel; is there a particular brand you could recommend to me, or should i do some research in that area? oh also i have noticed that some people put in LSD's, for a everyday driver and not seeking massive horsepower would i need to bother going with one?

If you guys are interested im more then happy to put photos up of my progress?

[lookingforboost]

no need to put in an LSD unless thats what you want or you have the extra money. you will need a decent clutch to hold the extra power and an aftermarket computer to control it all, dont skimp out because it will cost you more in the end, you will should also invest into an upgraded fuel pump as well.

i have a brand new excedy cusioned button clutch kit i was going to put in my D16 turbo and i have an 500hp drop in walbro fuel pump that i dont need anymore if your looking at getting somthing just PM me

[ek lover]

okay no worries, if i dont need to then i probably wont; down the track if i want to i will. yeah most definately, i wont skimp out on what i need cause it will bite me in the arse down the track.

ill keep that in mind, ill post here my progress and see what you guys think

[mugen_ctr]

off topic slightly, how much does akmotor warez sell there kits for D-series motors? this includes ecu, wiring harness, fuel pump etc.....

[ek lover]

im not really to sure - when i hear back from them i will let you know :)

like LFB said no need for LSD, spend it on the EMS and fuel system to get it running good.

yeah throw up some pics of the build

[ek lover]

thanks for your advise - ill look to get a decent ems and fuel system; i want to get it right the first time.

I have sent a email to 999 Automotive just to enquire about a few things. when i get a quote ill post it here to see what you guys think. anyone in brisbane used these guys, are there work decent?

Ill also put up some photo of my ride and its current progress :)

Appreciate everyones help so far

peakboost kit for a d-series your looking at this much to reach 130kw atw.

peakboost kit 5850, neptune 1450, injectors 550, fuel pump 220

labour - 1250 normally, 1000 if your purchasing the stuff through us.

[ek lover]

Thanks quangsuke,

Ive sent a email to AK Motorwork for a quote on some parts - i guess ill wait for tomorrow for a reply; do you work for them? If so what would be the actual part names you have listed there? i gather those amounts are rough pricing?

Unfortunately i dont live in melbourne so i would need to get the parts shipped to me and find someone to install it.

Thanks for your input - ill get some photos of my car tomorrow.

[mugen_ctr]

If 5850 is the pricing for the turbo kit, thats very expensive! and with the added cost of ecu, injectors etc, its workin out 2 b closer to 6-7k!!!! with that kinda cost, id expect closer to 180kw, not 130kw, no offence, but i cant justify that amount of cost for that sort of gain

If the pricing i said is incorrect, feel free to correct me

[ek lover]

yeah i agree also - thats why im waiting for akmotorworks to get back to me with an offical quote; i sent them an email this morning.

I am also going to shop around and find other solutions; post them here for second oppinions.

[mugen_ctr]

i would say build ur own kit, thats what one of my buddies is doin 2 his eg civic, d-series motor aswell.... atm his got a T25g off black top Sr20, getting a log manifold, an goin for a greddy emanage ecu, but the problem with that is sourcing everything individually, like oil lines and making sure they fit, if not, you'll be postponing for another week with ur build just to get find the right piece like in a puzzle...

So i guess its really up2 you, I personally prefer a kit, as it says, complete bolt-on, an no needing to worry about out sourcing every part...

[ek lover]

yeah thats another option as well - ive also sent a email to 999 Autoworks enquiring about a few things.

I want something that will be an easy solution and not complicate things - however this may cost a bit more :(

ill keep posting here as i go

[quangsuke]

no i dont work there.
these are the quotes of exact prices that they gave me when i asked for a turbo setup for my d-series to get power figures of around 130 kw atw.

those are the actual parts and prices.

[mugen_ctr]

dangz, so much for turbo being cheaper than b16/b18 conversion, lol
But for that amount, id be more inclined to buy something like the greddy bolt on turbo kit, mite even workout to be cheaper than ak motorwarez turbo kit....

[quangsuke]

please if your looking for boost, please dont go cheap on it.
anything like a t25, your kinda wasting your time as it will run out of puff. you want big gains or reliable power, its up to you.

do it once, do it right

heaps of options out there for you to build and source your own kit or go for something thats been tested etc.

you can always go frank b20/16 =D
goodluck

it is a bit more expensive than other products like greedy because they use different materials, a better flow manifold (ramhorn), a bigger turbo and intercooler.

i was gonna go the cheap way and use 2nd hand parts, but seeing as i didnt want to keep fixing my car all the time i choose to spend more and go peakboost.

about the power that varies on what the customer wants, he can reach 200+ with the peak kit if he wants to but will his motor take it i doubt it. 130 is on about 5-7psi for the d series.

[mugen_ctr]

ah right, so in saying, would you rather get the Greddy turbo kit, or Peaks, providing, they both give the same end results?

Theres nothing wrong in using 2nd parts, providing all the parts in in good condtion, it should last forever, like any parts you put on ur car

B16/20 conversion is tempting.......

greedy or peaks......i would really go any. they are just brands. Peaks is aus known, greddy is popular amongst jap cars etc. if you know what your buying and whats good and not then by all means go by 2nd hand parts. even new parts can break. its basically about the way you look after your car. proper warm up etc.
that goes for everything whether boosted or N/A, service and look after it and you will see the car lasting up to 300xxx etc.

b16/b20 is great for power and high torque, find a good builder and you will be laughing at the power.
goodluck with whichever you decide.

[acurabot]

have u tried asking Ivan at High Power Racing in Slacks Creek? He'd be the one i'll go to for my honda needs.

[ek lover]

thanks everyone for there input so far.

I have gotten incontact with Hi-power racing, 999 automotive and akmotor works for some quotes. Hi-power racing want me to go down and visit them, ill be able to do this within the next 4-5 weeks. i generally just want quotes to know how much cost i am going to face with this conversion.

999 automotive sound a bit dodgy compared to hi power; anyone have experience with these two?

id rather go the peak boost kit cos if u want to go any further in the future theres no need to upgrade the turbo parts just the motor u will need to upgrade. if u dont plan on boosting any higher than 10psi then go greedy as itll save u but the turbo is very small and u would prob get like 110 to 120kw the peak kit will net u close to 140 to 150kw as it has bigger turbo and better flow manifold.

but yeah just think of long tern and short term, if ur gonna swap to a B series but still want to boost for now go greedy, if u want to keep the D for a while pick the Peak kit.

in saying this do you have a D series yourself? im not looking to do any transplants i want boost straight up.

What i want to know, is the money spent worth it; as in someone who has done this and enjoy the gains. im not originally a honda person so i dont know comparisions to different engines. is it possible to keep up with or pass a standard commy or falcon? im not expecting this to be a rocket but i do expect some decent gains with the mone spent.

Im looking at spending 12-15k with install and thats alot of money to play with hehehe. that is peakboost D series turbo kit, injectors, fuel pump, flywheel, clutch, ecu, exhaust.

yes i have a d series im running a peak kit at 135 kw 7 psi on a low reading dyno so its more like 140-143.

im very happy with the resaults as my car originally had 65-70kw and yes u can keep up with a few commos and falcons.

u can get a peak kit installed for under 12k with all the extras like Inj,FP, FW, Clt, Ext, EMS and tune as i did.

[ek lover]

$.$ im sold lol

thats great to know - i just need to get some reasurance that it is a good move.

Ill get some photos up shortly of my ride and its progress - just need to give her a wash :)

Just as an idea - could you pm me with the parts that you got? if not i understand.

Big tops to everyone that has helped me through this so far

[Riced_Civic]

PM'd u

[mugen_ctr]

hey, if u do come along the cruise, would u mind if some of us guys get a ride in ur car? lol, stuff "vtec", boost all the way!

12k is hell of a lot of dough! geeee... i wasnt expecting that kinda of money to be involved, and that alone is just the engine, lol, i do intend to do suspension work, hence why at most my budget will be very most 3-4k

[Riced_Civic]

sorry man im not gonna be here, ill be in QLD

[kccord]

PM sent!!!

I just can't believe and stand with that amount of money, achieving low powers. There is no need to go that far where it is not going to be usable at max, quality yes it is assured and so as many other kits and parts but dayum...spend your money in Aus = rip off.

I missed out on clutch in the PM, you'll find that the contact that I recommend to you to buy ecu also stock heavy duty clutches at very competitive price.

[Limbo]

12k i'd expect closer to 200kw atw.
that's an expensive build for a D series.

[mugen_ctr]

yeap, very expensive, and that cost doesnt even involve opening up the engine to drop in forged pistons etc.... jus the turbo kit with everything else to make it run... not worth the dough

[Limbo]

a bolt-on turbo kit is 2k to 6k at most including tuning

[Riced_Civic]

depends on who where and which brand u get. ive seen sum kits go for as low as $2 k like u say with the turbo, manifold, IC , piggyback EMS and pipes and thats it, i wouldnt call that a good kit, u run the risk at that price.

a 6K to 9K ive seen that still dont come with INJ FP and a stand alone EMS

the 9K to 12K was what i paid cos it was a 1 off production that peak boost did for me. as theres only 2 company that make em for my car and they both had shitty manifolds and small turbos.
i got the works done at a drive in and out price inc tuning and GB work and it would have cost less if i went smaller turbo. Aslo my prices build was when the dollar crashed in the US so that also affected my price.

but yeah the more common D series should be alot cheaper by say 2k as a drive in drive out package.

[mugen_ctr]

i still reckon you coulda gotten more power for that amount of money, not having a go at you, but 12 g's, couldev netted you a built D17 and turbo kit and more so, power..... but hey, if ur happy with the car, whos to say ur wrong, and it is ur money, which one day i will have, lol....
Actually most kits do come with EMS, jus not injectors fuel pump etc, jus the necessary to keep the engine and turbo JUST ALIVE...
I think most workshop charge so much is due to very little demand in D-series turbo, hence the price asked, now if more people could float there boats to supporting the d-series, than maybe workshops will stop asking so much....

[Riced_Civic]

nope 12k would have never netted me a build D17, with the $ being at .60c back then it would have been using shit parts and the price of postage would have killed it. if the parts were avaliable in Aus maybe it was the Shipping and Labour that killed me

[Lukezen27]

for the love of god, if someone about to spend 12k on a turbo D shoot yourself in the head....

[quangsuke]

with that kind of budget you can easily do a b-swap and boost it you would see far greater figures.

[ek lover]

hey guys,

ive been doing some further research after i got a PM from a person from these forums. i have found all parts from the usa which have reduced the costs by 6 grand which has made this more appeling. the kit is a turbonetics turbo charger http://www.treadstoneperformance.com/product.phtml?p=23&cat_key=134&prodname=Honda+Civic+SI%2C+B%2C+D%2C+CRX+Series+Tu rbo+Kit when speaking with the guy there he said i should see 100hp increase with this kit out of the box which is awesome considering the price.

i have spoken with a mate of mine and he has told me that turbonetics turbocharges are really poor quality and would die after around 20,000 kilometres of use, which is making me think twice again.

I need some advise on people who have used these turbochargers, is this true?

Yeah ive seen that post. the turbokit 2.8k, ecu (hondata s300 + p28) 1k, clutch and fly wheel (competition clutch gear) 600-800, fuel system (walbro pump 255l) [need to find out injector size and possibly anyhing else - 300-600 ish.

i am just curious on peoples thoughts of Turbonetics and would the power gains be reachable?

Turbonetics are crap

that llink is my trubo D not the turbo B post you've read

[ek lover]

yeah ive had a read of that in my research - greddy is something i would look at but i cant seem to be able to find a kit for my d series (96-00)..

Ive read people saying turbonetics are great - some dont like it - some are in the middle as they state its just like any other turbo thats going to fail.

I am not sure - its my first car ill be modifing and i cant justify spending big dollars on my civic; anyone elses advise?

greddy 92-95 will fit 96-00 but you get biggger injectors in the 96 kit

I'll find the kit this weekend and post

[ek lover]

that would be great - i appreciate your help.

im hoping it will be around the 2-3 grand mark

[mugen_ctr]

thats not true about turbonetics, any turbo will fail if not tuned correct and tuned within its base flow map, all depends how its setup.... Does anyone know where to buy the greddy turbo kit in aus, or do we gotta buy overseas?

[ek lover]

greddy 92-95 will fit 96-00 but you get biggger injectors in the 96 kit

I should hopefully find out by this weekend mugen_ctr, should be interesting to see how much it will cost otherwise ill go with turbonetics

[Lukezen27]

GReddy kit 92-95 cost me $2080 delviered from the US

As stated, I'll took for the kits this weekend when I have a bit of time to spare

[Lukezen27]

92-95 they fit 96-00 just the same 100% feed back

There's no 96-00 listed right now but would be a better buy if you can find it..

Slightly bigger turbo and includes intectors

[ek lover]

ah okay ill look into it.

im a bit hesitant with purchasing a turbokit of ebay from all the reviews ive read - ill continue to research. injectors wont be an issue cause ill be upgrading them and the ecu as well.

why did you d-series blow up?

hahahah fair enough - what were your thoughts on the greddy kit? well worth it?

If I had to do it over again I would have put a B16 in then saved up for a turbo kit down the track

My own, done all work beside exhaust fab, engine machining and tune. It sits ok where it's at 216kW and ready to push more power next week.

The fact that I'm using turbonetics turbo/items and has been fine since last year (12000km travelled). It's bullocks to say they're shit, only negative with turbonetics is their exhaust manifold and yes they're just log style and flows terrible but highly susceptible from cracking.

We're not here to rant on this and that is shit but rather extrapolate on what's worth their price. There are cheap and nasty but also something called rip-off. If you think you have the best item since you paid top dollar for it then who's the idiot?

He's going to buy a kit so why buy one with known problems?

My current setup cost me less than 3K all top stuff but doing my own work safes heaps.

[kccord]

Need to read properly or possibly open up your dictionary nor you opened up my built thread but let me comprehend it for you:


The fact that I'm using turbonetics turbo/items and has been fine since last year (12000km travelled). It's bullocks to say they're shit.

I have a turbonetics turbo and wastegate in my vehicle right now and had travelled 12000km since I installed it with no problems. It is not acceptable to say in general they are poor in quality. = My own experience coming from my two hands and mouth.


only negative with turbonetics is their exhaust manifold and yes they're just log style and flows terrible but highly susceptible from cracking.

Turbonetics came with log style cast manifold. It flows not-as-good-as ramhorm, sidewider, custom fab. But they resist to crack especially for daily driving purpose. Balancing reliability, performance, purpose and price.


not here to rant on this and that is shit but rather extrapolate on what's worth their price

I have not mentioned "on what to buy not this bits good bit this bits bad" but rather judge on what's worth for their price, so we should.

In summary, there are no mention of problems with turbonetics items. First two quotes reflects on turbonetics. Third quote reflects on "This guys wants advise on what to buy not this bits good bit this bits bad."

Says who?? says me who have experience with their products.

Sorry I misread your post and that’s great you’ve has such good luck with Turbonetics.
Your right I don’t have first hand experience with Turbonetics but that’s the name that kept popping up during my research in relation to problems!
Still, I researched for years before going with the GReddy Kit as my first turbo project and still think it’s the best option for a first timer.

[kccord]

It's great we came to somewhere in this. From your sig, $3K and 161kw is bang for buck in B-series. Extra note on my $0.02 - One thing I was advised in turbonetics forum was to always connect the coolant port which was most failures to blown seal etc etc, oil gallery in the turbo is smaller then most turbo in the market since it has to accommodate the coolant cooling jacket thus oil is primarily for lubrication of bearing where the coolant does the majority of cooling. Tune is important as well, dump it rich and egt will rocket to space.

guys i appreciate your input.

what i have come to as a conclusion, i have run into a idiling issue which is electronic and not mechanically as ive just had a full service completed.

if worst case i need to replace the ECU i will be going all out with my project, if and when i do i will post pictures however i wont be doing the work myself due to resource and time constrants.

Mine happened because the throttle cable was to tight and the plate was opened a tad during idle. I'd clean the throttle body and all the bits and pieces to while your checking. Just tighten the cable enough that u get this tiny tiny bit of freeplay tat you can feel when pushing the 'go go' pedal with your fingers.
