From Integra to Civic:)

[locote]

Ive purchased a EG5 today with a d16y vtec.
Ive been driving a GSi teg for a year now, i will be putting most of my parts that fit from my integra to the civic.

But as far as making more power out of this little vtec motor with a turbo (t3/4) what is the reliability like???

Has many ppl done it and what issues they have??
Or would i be better of dumping a B18c or B16a in it??
Does the d16y gear box bolt up to a B series???

congrats on the purchase
reliability all comes down to how you build your turbo setup and how you tuned and maintain it.
Alot of ppl in the states boost their D Series.. go to www.turbod16.com, or www.d-series.org for more info.
Droping in a B series depends on your budget and whether you want to stay NA or go the boost.
And a D16 gearbox wont fit a B series.

Congrats on the purchase.. sweet lookin ride.
I've been searching all over for the same. Do you mind PMing me how much you got it for ?

[euphoric]

is that the car on drive.com.au or carsales.com.au ? it looked nice, but exp!

[[[d a n n y]]]

doing a quick search will find u all the answers.
first question
turboing a SOHC VTEC ask Weq on the forums he's the man the talk to..
as for the D serise G box bolting up No! it's not possible
and i recon turboing a B serise is more fun then D serise

[jimmeh]

if you low on cash then turbo charge the D.
youll be so much faster than a civic with a b series in it

i got a B series turbo kit for a civic at the moment so if turbo the D ill have to buy a new manifold, so i might just wait till i find a descently priced B18c or buy a B16a, the B18c will surely make more power but it cost over 2x as much.

Im pretty sure a D series gearbox is compatible with a b series motor...
My mate was using a his CXi gearbox with his transplanted b18c7.
Can someone confirm?

PM "chi" on the forums. he recently sold his EG and he did a B18C transplant. twas a very nice EG and went like stink too

[locote]

Ill go to honbits on friday and find out they have done a few transplants before...
i havent realy gave it to it yet but it the d16y feels pretty grunty:)
The car weights next to nothing aswell:)

most defiantly not sir.
i'm quite sure of it.

Hey would bolting a 60mm throttle body to the manifold and a SRI make much difference, as ive got a spare 1 lying around from a teg.

congrats on purchase man...so which car do u rekon feels better integra or the vic ?

No point in a bigger TB.

Will cause a slight lag in reposnse.

Only need TB if internals have been done and require more air flow.

[locote]

Haha too early to tell, as ive only driven the civic from dealer to my house and didnt realy give it to it.
I handles a lot better than the teg.
Ill go put some ultimate 98 tonight and drive it and ill c what the difference is then.
