will this work?
ive got a turbo manifold that will fit my d16y4, my turbo parts are a r34 stock turbo a stock r34 cooler, and some exhaust pieces. now will this bolt up? and will it blow the stock engine if i run relativly stock boost. hopefully 4 to 5 pounds boost before i upgrade internally?

any help from pros will be great.

i think minimum boost from that turbo would be 7psi.

most of the stock ones are 6 or 7PSI. Its pretty hard to get a actuator lower than 6PSI. If you run 6PSI it will be fine on your stock motor.

Bolt up will depend on your manifold. It its a t25 manifold it should fit no worries. All the rest most prob will need to be customised to make it fit

the turbo and manifold will fit no worries,
but the issues i have are wether the internals will be strong enough
and how the oil and water lines are run from the engine to the turbo.

internals will survive up to 10PSI without issue so long as it is tuned properly.
Oil lines and water lines are easy to find on a D an b series motor, no worries, anyone who has turboed one can easily tell you where to find them

ok cool,
do you know what ecu should i use, how much and tuning costs?

Hondata or PFC, tuning depends on how much work is needed.
I rem from [ricer] that the y4 is a pain to get running properly. I think you need the y8 throttle body. You should PM him I believe he is selling that and you will need it to turbo your y4.

ALso his y4 made pretty good power at 6PSI.

PM Toda, i know [ricer] had previous problems with other tuners before toda fixed it.

to create more space for the turbo, is it wise to take out all the aircon unit and condenser? cause i dont use it anyway?

its a choice. SOme people don't need/want the a/c & P/S

I myself can't live with them so i have them still in the car

i had a turbo y4 and now im back to a standard y4... i miss the boost so much.. its such a difference on the y4 and i know u'll love it!
i had my whole turbo kit custom made by Performance Exhaust in Northmead so everything fit nice and air cond and power steering remained and all water lines and oil lines were done there. im sure they will be able to make you oil lines, dump pipe, cooler piping and what not to suit your car.

ecu wise, probably best to run a piggy back ecu rather then a full standalone. the y4 is the black sheep of the honda family so there isnt a hondata or pfc which would just be plug and play... if you want to see just some of what is involved in the conversion click on my signature for the parts needed...

contact who ever you want to tune your car and ask them what they think... you want someone who is confident with the unit and the car.
toda tuned mine with hondata and i've heard of other y4s running piggybacks from other tuners too

if u need more info PM me

You already have a manifold. See if it all fits together. You may 'need' to remove that gear. If you don't use it, no problems. :thumbsup:

for ecu, we can make u a loom that converts the ek1 2 plug to an obd1 3 plug.

alternatively, run an emanage with someone who knows how to install it and its alot cheaper and will run correctly.

That's great to know!
I thought Dyno dave was the only one and he's been MIA :zip:

Emanage is dead simple to install and there are ALOT of tuners who can use it. Oh and Dave is MIA because people want his drunken head.

yeh man jus get some long hoses for ur water lines
get fittings to take oil from the back of the block to ur turbo
tap ur sump and run a down slope oil drain
make sure the manifold flange fits the turbo, eg T3 is the turbo u got which comes off RB25, RB20 etc regardless if its black or redtop. so make sure ur manifold is a T3 flange. if its a T2 flange then ur gona have to find a T25 or T28 turbo.
i've seen the r34 intercooler, seems pretty thick and chunkyy, u can use it if u want but as for fitting it somewhere thats gona be abit hard ~ maybe if u got rid of aircon?
other than that the harddest things is making ur own custom pipes fit
best of luck bro.
also run some kinda e-management. 12:1 FPR, apexi (vafc,safc,neo), greddy, or any chip, chrome,neptune hondata etc ~
T3 actuator are 7psi, thats not too bad =) get a cheap manual boost controller and wind that thing down to 5psi if ur scared but 7psi is average, not much to worry there.

The only drawback to emanage is often the morons who try installing them without knowing what they are doing. They generally work quite well and we haven't had any problems.

The plug and play loom that we make, can make converting your harness from ek1 2 plugs to 3 plug obd1 a breeze and allows other tuning options.

An EK1 to OBD1 plug & play loom sounds great Andy,:thumbsup:

I have to say ricer asked the same question I was thinking...
What's the fix for the iacv, dissy & batch fire injectors?
If it works, great... It solves a lot of issues for a lot of people...
What's the price too? (PM me if you don't want to post it here)
