Ive boosted my D and its so much fun.
Hey, I'm sorry in advance if this advice has already been posted some where and I missed it.
I am running a stock D16Y4 (so no vtec :( ) in my EK. I am at uni, but I have a job that's giving me a bit of cash. I wont be coming into a big amount of money for a few years, so for now an engine swap or another car are out of the question. Bearing this in mind, do you think the bang for my buck would be worth it for me to get a second hand turbo set-up for my D16? and how much would I be looking at?
u guys, just curious does the turbo d pull u bak into ur seats like rexc/gtr (geforce)?
Kinda depends on the setup doesn't it? I see some SOHC D16's running 8-10 PSI and making around 100kw ATW so IMO that wouldn't necessarily throw you back in your seat but then I've also seen turbo D's making 200-245kw ATW which is another story. Depends on how it's done I guess :)
yea what i thought was u need at least 300nm of torque to throw sum mad geforce. like 34 gtr's, sti, evo's they throw u back in the seat.
which is awsome imo.
Not really man. Torque is great, but there's no replacement for horsepower. If you have lots of HP you'll get thrown back...
so u rekon 200-250 atw will do it?lol
thats what im aiming for with my turbo d16 new engine rebuild.
I suppose you're going forged internals on the block haha. Even on a budget build if your engine is rebuilt and you're running 8-10 PSI you should get some very decent power out of it :)
yea of corz forged internals. not expecting miracles just something that hammers for daily drive.
and make me smile.hahaha
mione 167kw at the wheels, broke my first driveshaft but had the setup for 3yrs now...
setup will up for sale soon...P.M me if you interested
