Forced Induction D16Y4

All a SOHC Vtec D series needs is a good T28 turbo cheap ramhorn style manifold 2.5" exhaust,I use 550cc injectors and not some cheap arse second EVO 440cc things that you need to run a resistor pack on.The ECU convert the car to OBD1 unit then you have the choice of Hondata/Neptune/Crome the factory map sensor is good to 11psi and the engine will not take anymore than that it will break rods.I road tuned one yesterday at 7psi it rips for what it is only thing in the one I tuned we ran 1000cc injectors just because we can,it makes full boost under 3500rpm and is dream to drive on the freeway and in traffic and gets great mileage because these are the current generation EV14 Bosch style injector.If your tuner knows what they are doing it will boost early as long as it has a real turbo and not a EGAY copied junk pile.

if you only want to run small injectors get some OEM Honda RDX 440cc units from the states they are a very good injector and work well with higher fuel pressure of a boosted engine.

all i know is that i built my own kit, an pieced it my self an it goes a little something like this... zzzutututututt... ahahahaa...

Best advice I can give is spend good money on fuel system/Injectors and ECU get it tuned spot-on with the boost around 9psi or below and the car will be alot of fun.One thing to keep in mind is exhaust manifold design does play a very big part in spool time and for some reason everyone says the exhaust housing is to big which is not true.

The only problem I am seeing is the ECU as it has to be aftermarket but heard nothing but headaches into conversion to OBD1/2.

Is your car an CXI ?

How is it a headache? $100 gets you a conversion loom

Really how many CXI's have you converted to OBD1 with just a conversion harness ?
A CXI is a completely different OBD2 wiring setup it uses a P2K ECU with only 2 plugs you cant just get a conversion harness it has grouped injectors and a 3 or 4 wire IACV OBD1 will not run it.

Here you go because you seem to think you have alot of knowledge about this

Yes it is a CXI.

I haven't converted any but all I have heard are headaches and then a final light on the horizon. I don't mind in a way if I had cash to roll out but if I had cash then I wouldn't have time. Double edged sword and was just asking how others got around this.

dude its been like a week, how havent you finished this yet....
