guys(and girls) just wondering if anyone has experience with the D16Y8 engines and whether one with 125,***km on the clock is too many to turbo it. just trying to keep the budget down and its looking like i may have to consider engine internals which i know cost money...
my setup would be a low 8psi boost using a t3/to4B as i have noticed this to be fairly popular choice with the d16..
comments?
cheers
do it
do wat? the internals or the turbo???
just turbo it
d series motors are cheap
if i had a B i might build it... but i cant justify spending so much money on a D when on 8psi u'll be fine and if worst does happen, it will be just a fraction of the cost of building to replace the motor
i think your turbo is too big for your setup especially on only 8PSI, i'm assuming your going for a small power increase?
yer exactly. i want to keep the budget down as much as possible (without buying shit parts though).
im looking at something like 4 grand. without install/tune. but am considering buying one of those pre-made pacs off the net and upgrading the turbo..
wat u recomend limbo? im honestly unsure in the world of turbos..
rocket industries makes a terrific kit for the d16y8....

my mate has it installed in his coupe in the USA, it's not half bad

D16Y's are recognized as having weak conrods, which above 200Hp are recommended to be replaced with aftermarket units.
At 8psi you're about borderline, but that's a big turbo which will pump lots of cool air, relative to smaller units, so you should probably use a higher safety margin.
YCP Vitara pistons are very popular (and cheap) for turbo d16's. Visit www.d-series.org or turbod16.com.
Search for user 'FJT'. I think he sells component packages for d16's which you might be interetested in.
The Vitara pistons will drop your compression ratio down to high 7's low 8's. With a big turbo, it's something you will realy want to consider.
D16y's have a marginal oilling system. Search for spun bearings and there'll be no shortage of matches.
Either get a d16z6 oil pump (OEM high flow pump, will lose dip stick hole, not 100% sure about fit), relieve the oil pressure relief valve, or get a Toga aftermarket.
Morosso Accumulator II's are cheap and may help.
If you go the budget route, ARP head studs and a metal gasket with attention to deck and head surface finish will go a long way.
Then you'll need bigger injectors and have to deal with ignition timing.
Search on my login name, I've written about same topic previously.

PS> IMHO that's a BIG turbo. 5000rpm spool. Great for strip, not so for street.
That sounds reasonable, you should be able to get quite a good system for that money
