25psi in a ek1?

[02ZZI]

Hey all,
Just trying to weigh up options, I got a 99 ek1. I am going to be doing either engine conversion or turbo mine. I am just wondering what would need to be done to my car to run high boost(internals wise). I want to run as much boost as possible. I know the turbo will play a big factor to that aswell. Just wanna hear your guys thoughts are worked internals for d series engines (non vtec d series) cheaper then b series?
Thank you all

if i were you il forget about the d series and go for a b series like b16a you will get much more for what you pay for from it,i hardly see any d series mods around maybe if you can import them from the US

yeah but then i got put up for a conversion! telling me to go vtec isnt what i am after. Other wise i wouldnt be asking the question! Can you please tell me what sort of internal work i will need for high boost 20+

preety much everything changed in your engine

my old engine was a B16A turbo. it only had pistons and rods, minor head work and was putting out around 550 Fw Hp at 30 psi. i NEVER blew the motor in 3 years of racing, just everything else, g'boxes, shafts (plenty) etc. etc

doesnt anyone have faith in the d-series????? i feel so lonely

Yeah what Omar said :D

Weq is hopping for 200WKW on his D16Y1 turboed

[Weq]

americans have done hi-boost d-series. ud have to do sleeves for that kind of boost level though, so its alot of money... part for part though, d-series will always be cheaper.

in the end, 30psi means no traction, in any gear, on street tyres. get a realistic goal.

[BLKCRX]

Honestly anything can be done, but if you build a engine for 25psi, there’s no reason you can’t run 45psi !

Research ;) and set a budget

I love turbo d's... so underrated and so much more capable than people think

at least out here in the states, you can build up a d16 capable of 25psi for the cost of swapping in a stock b18c5


that's a no brainer to me


for a street car, I wouldn't try for more than 250ish whp though... going to have too many traction problems otherwise

yeah i realise 30 psi is a lil un achievable but i honestly hope for around 160kw if i can achieve this in my d i wont really need to do a conversion. So how ever much boost i need to run to get to that.

I read last night that people have put sohc vtec heads ontop of the d series to increase power with a turbo. Can i do this with mine (d16y4)? or am i retarded first i didnt think it was possible but i read of at least 2 people doing it?

running a good turbo setup wouldnt need you to run high boost to hit 160fwkw, possibly 12psi.

[Weq]

yeh at 12psi woth a vtec head u will hit 160kw no worries. without it, u might be pushing it ;) all in the tune.

[02ZZI]

can some one explain how i can put a a vtec head on mine? is it legal will the head need to be the same and or of a newer age then my car? is it a simple modification?

[Weq]

google "mini-me". its defaintly legal.
