Hey guys,

i tried using the search tool but couldn't source out the info i needed,
so i'm hoping someone would kindly help me out with the following info...

Im planning to boost my d16y8 and would like to know roughly how much it would cost for an engineering certificate? & is that all i need to make it street legal? Really dont want to pay any unnecessary fines along the way..:(

if you've turbo charged your car before please shed some light on this issue..

thanx!

from about $650

+ any mods the engineer wants u to do to pass.

They usually want a brake upgrade. And ur car will need to pass an emission test and a noise test.

did you want it so u can exempt yourself from getting a defect?

just to let you know in the past i have had 14 yellow stickers on my civic over the 5 yrs ive been driving it. after the 13th sticker i did engine conversion and turbo setup + bunch of other mods...and i brought it over the pits with my normal Permits and had to change suspension setup cos it was to low and they let me pass with turbo and engine conversion and all..even after i asked him and said "you passed me but ive done a conversion and its turbo" and the inspector said to me:

"look i know these engines come in the newer model civic's so its not that big of a deal and he said as long as the turbo setup is clean and nothing to piss us/cop off such as big ass blow of valves u should be ok".

I dont know but WA fekin sucks for defects, the cops here are really harsh... but the inspectors seem to thing this is fine + when ive been pulled over cops dont even know that my cars comes stock without turbo..

hahahha a cop once asked me what the "contraption coming off my manifold was" i had to school him on what a wastegate was...lucky i had my gate plumbed back at the time....

and ive been pulled over for a BOV noise which i also didnt have...i said to the cop if you can find a bov under my hood ill give u $50...had a bit of a laugh and he let me go my way

man... thats pretty cheap.. too bad in bris..
lowest in syd so far that i've found is $375
not sure yet still waiting on confirmation..

my original plan was a H22a, then it changed to a B16b, & then B18cr.. lol
But then i blew all the money i had saved up for my conversion by renovating my gf's room.. $2G's
Really wanted to go N/A but too much $$$$ involved!

so now i just want more power n the simplest n cheapest way is a bolt-on turbo kit... lol.. Will be running stock internals for the time being..
but it should be fun cant wait.

thanx for the info guys.. gives me a heads up on extra cost n stuff..

Bro its still not as cheep as you think...Turbo'in a honda isnt just like walk in the park. Its going to cost more than 2g...you could probably do it under 2g if you went with a used t28, second hand manifold, custom piping u do yourself. Rubber Tubed oil lines, Second hand intercooler. and using a piggy back ECU b like a vafc, bloost bleeding 6psi and maybe tune it yourself but still thats not very safe, and i dont know how long your car would last. Plus thats if you do all the work yourself.

i said i had $2G's, not anymore spent it all like i said...

just bought a complete turbo kit off ebay cost me all up $850 from US (included shipping),
other parts i'll source out as i go..

im not planning on having a big set-up or anything.. just gonna hav some fun with this.
if my engine blows i'll just buy a new one.. D16's are cheap.

oh wells lets see how long this experiment last before i run into some probs.

Yep.. all i want is a taste... mmm psi..
if i had the money to invest in a decent turbo kit, i would've saved that money n do n engine conversion instead (would prefer na)
but since low on $dough$
Turbo is the answer!

this is just the starting ground for me.. dont know much about turbo's so thought i'd start small then see what happens.

i'll keep everyone updated on how this kit goes & total cost to get it up n running well... so newbies like myself can decide whether or not to invest in a quick fix turbo kit!

man first of all, $ money wise turbo is not the answer! u can do an engine conversion (b16a dohc vtec) cheaper than gettin a turbokit up n running. Also having a turbo would cost u lot more in the long run ie. fuel/tuning, maintaining/parts/problems, etc. if money is the issue i suggest save a lil more n stay n/a, its less headaches!

Wrong, Wrong and WRONG

U can turbo a civic CHEAPER than a b16 conversion.

The car will be FASTER than a b16 conversion

I still use <10L/100km fuel in the city.

I agree AIMRE but it just depends on researching skills and knowledge really...I've done the conversion myself and turbo kit install which most people here have but i can say i got raped for my b16a2...if had of done the research i would have got it for half the price...

Just depends on researchin skills and doing the labour yourself either it be the b16 conversion or the turbo kit..

I just got this kit a few weeks ago
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&viewitem=&item=220112872794

$2080 Shipped with insurance + maybe $1000 to install :thumbsup: No tuning needed as the kit come ready tuned for that kit a engine.......

That = $3080 for more power than the mighty B18C7 :wave:

I doubt I'll make huge power but GReddy kits are made to last by the looks of it, very strong build...

Now that I've built and unbuilt the kit in my dinning room about 5 times I have know doubt I could have gone custom lol but I first kits a first kits :)

Yes but you will lose big time on traction lol

D16Y1 + GReddy Turbo kit = 120kw @ the wheels
B16A = 118kw @ the Fly - 25% through the drive Train = 88kw @ the wheels
B18C2 = 124kw @ the Fly - 25% through the drive Train = 93kw @ the wheels
B18C7 = 147kw @ the Fly - 25% through the drive Train = 110.25kw @ the wheels...

Hows that, am I missing something?

Remember all the DOHC VTec's are completely stock on those figures I've listed

wrong? u maybe be able to turbo a civic cheaper than an eng conversion depending on your knowledge but that would also be vice versa. tell me can u maintain a turbo car cheaper than n/a? which one is more liekly to cause problems? fuel wise, yes i still get good fuel consumption, but is it reccomended for a turbod honda to run on 92ron? no. b16a u can. overall which one ends up cheaper?

Yes but you will lose big time on traction lol

D16Y1 = GReddy stock kit = 120kw @ the wheels
B16A = 118kw @ the Fly - 25% through the drive Train = 88kw @ the wheels
B18C2 = 124kw @ the Fly - 25% through the drive Train = 93kw @ the wheels
B18C7 = 147kw @ the Fly - 25% through the drive Train = 110.25kw @ the wheels...

Hows that?

Sorry man but u will not beat a Type R on a Bolt on kit.. unless you got few other good mods done then maybe.. D16 Greddy kits are overated. i honestly would rather have saved the money from turboing my d16 and done a b16conversion instead then invest on putting a turbo kit then later, thats wer the power and fun really is. Put it this way my car lost to a 180sx sr20det, and that same 180 got raped by a stock dc2r

Maybe you can't drive? just jokes

but I can keep up with most B16A with my stock D16Y1 so you work that out? (maybe coze I'm not scared of blowing my motor up and they are heheh)

Anyway I never said I could ever beat a ITR but my math is sound..

sorry drifting off the topic still but....i got love for any honda...+ with a turbo i give alot of respect...dont see many in perth so feels good to see one.

the reason i give alot of respect is, because Turboin a honda aint easy. cant just chuck the shit on and expect it to go. Honda's were designed for high comp. any dick and larry can have a turbo cars these days but to have a NA car be turbo'd i give respect hands down.

Plus D series turbo's still pack alot of punch i meen sheeet its a honda :)

14-09-2007, 10:41 PM

Daym man! is that johns setup? if so its bloody clean simple, strong and performs really well! deffinately up there with some of the B16 turbos!

But seriously guys need to be very carefully with what you say on ozhonda, especially when compareing turboDs to Bs. This could very easily turn into a shitfight with alot of flameing and hateing going around.

I believe if dont correctly with quality parts + some research the Turbo D can be great. but you should leave the stuff like why it is better then this or this (although i see you logic) all it will do is cause fights. Just go out there and do it, dont need to proove anything here, just do it and go enjoy it :)

regards Lyle

ps need to be carfully putting claims to TurboD power stats and time figures... basically its meaningless unless you have some paperwork or proof to back it up..... just a heads up guys

Both aimre and Weq's D16Y1 did 120+wkt @ 7psi and with that as a base line my math is still good... No hate'n hear..... just the way it is plus aimre has paper :wave:

If I had the cash I would have gone a B18C7 but it was just out of my price range...

Thing is you can only go so far with a SOHC VTec before you reach the limit..

If you want a lot more power you should start with a DOHC VTec if that's your end goal, but if your like me and you just want'a have some fun and still get a bit of power to play with then turbo D16 rock IMO...

hey man..
hondata would be more expensive... ecu harness???
piggy back ecu can be tuned cheaper n faster i think..?

Nope you can get Hondata new boost ready for $280 but the catch is you need to pay for turning at the same time as the Hondata reps are not aloud to let you drive out without being tuned

e-manage but only coze it came with my kit and pre-turned for my D16Y1

But if my kits didn't come with a ECU I would have gone Hondata

emanage, if all you want is your car to run...
Hondata if you want your car to run well, and much more healthier....

Personally, spending money on an emanage is a complete waste. Youll need to re-buy some proper engine managment when the time comes when you realise that semi tuning with a piggyback just isnt gunna cut it for a decent setup.

IMO, save money and buy propper engine managment once only, it the single most important thing on a turbo setup.
Just get hondata s100, and tuning.
If your not obd1, youll also need the harness adaptor.

Think of it in how many extra weeks of work to afford somthing propper. I know for me, it would only be 1 week of saving difference between a piggy back, and hondata, if i was careful with spending.

DEFINATLY worth savin a tiny tiny little bit longer, and finishing your project a week or 2 later, then finishing a week or 2 earlier but stuck running crappy engine management, for the next few years.

He's right dude...trust me the tune is the most important part and i was just like you craving the PSI....and i put it all on and got it tuned and even still i blew the stock internals on 6 psi...and my engine had on 30,000kms. Trust me dude its not worth the hassle...make sure u get a good ECU and a really good tune if you sticking with the stock internals. Coming from experience its just not worth it.

lol.. no worries.. just kidding..

turbo kit just arrived today from US.. very excited.. fells like xmas. lol

anyways im thinking about getting power fc over hondata...
what u guys think?
power fc i might be able to get for around $600 which is cheap n tuning for around $400>
if i decide hondata-
which hondata should i go with? s100 $285 , s200 $470, s300 $800 (+ wiring harness $250>)?

my credit cards getting a pounding... so think cheap n effective if possible..
thanks guys

Um i aint to sure but if yours is a 98 coupe ive been told from james our ecus arent bolt on with hondata. We need to get a replacement one then get hondata so your looking at 900 for replacement ecu and HONDATA.

This doesnt make sense to me...
I would imagine you have to get a new ecu then hondata?

Hmmm, i certainly wouldnt pay $900
$150 - p28 ecu or simular 0bd1 ecu
$285 - hondata s100
$250 - edgeauto d16y4 harness adaptor

=$685:thumbsup:
Thats all the hardware needed for his car to run hondata.

Correct.
Hondata works in conjunction with the stock ecu, however its only compatable with obd1 ecu's, the car in question uses an obd2 ecu, hense why he will also need an obd1 ecu, and an adaptor harness to plug it into his car.:thumbsup:

Yeah right sorry

Stupid obd2 lol

You can use P28 or P30 from memory

PM Dyno Dave NOW!!! He's got a P30 already socketed and I'm sure he'll do you a good deal :thumbsup: and he's a Hondata Rep
