im thinking about turbo-ing my d16y. however i cant find any good turbokits for it at all and ebay sell ****n hopeless cheap china shit, another friend said its not a good idea cause the d16 engine might blow up rofl. any advice guys? blehhhhhh might just have to do conversion :(
buy my car and my kit hehe or transfer it to ur hatch :)
otherwise look at greddy or avo kits not much else unless u go custom
Unless you modify the engine internals to handle a tough turbo setup then you'll have to keep it the PSI low, maybe 5-8 PSI. Would be a nice little boost but won't wreak havoc.
I have the EH Civic VTi (sedan model) with the same engine and to be honest I'd rather keep it N/A with maybe some bolt-on mods or a nice tune.
Otherwise, HERE is the link to an ad I found on FireSport lately. This guy is selling a Greddy Turbo setup out of an EG Civic VTi for the D16Y1. It's done 25, 000 KMs and he wants $1, 000. He's on the Sunshine Coast.
You could either look into buying the setup from him or maybe just try calling him to see if he can give you any advice.
Good luck! :)
Andy.
thanks andy. yeah ive tried to contact him however his not picking up his phone or replying to my messages :( bummer. i g reddy turbokit would be sick and i dont mind keeping it at 5 psi. as long as i get some powerrrrrr and su tu tu tu tu lmfao.
I SMS'd him earlier for you. It's still for sale and I told him that I'd put you onto his ad, so keep trying and you'll get onto him sooner or later.
He said he was running 8 psi and made 100kw atw. I'm not sure what we make atw standard but I reckon that's a good effort.
What do we make atw stock? like 75-80kw?
hey mate i have a full custom kit i am selling from my car if your interested full bolt on PM me or call me if your keen 0408491953 :)
i have everything for the D for the turbo setup cheers
lmao im not sure but complete stock civic vti is 99 kw. if the turbo will make it 100 atw how many kw is it then? as in normal?
The stock D16Y1 makes 96KW @ 6600 RPM and 145NM @ 5200 RPM. At least that's what the redbook and other sources say.
Take a look at this thread here. One of the blokes claims that his D16Y1 made 66KW stock, but after the car has been driven for ten years you would assume that you'd lose some degree of power. But from what he says you could assume it's about 65-70KW atw in a stock engine I think.
This bloke with the turbo setup said he made 100KW on 8psi with some good tuning. He also said he had done his basic I/H/E but had not lightened the flywheel so he would have lost considerably more power between the fly and the wheels than he could have. Otherwise he hadn't modified any of the engine internals so he could have spanked up the psi more.
So you would think that with bolt-ons, some engine internals, flywheel work and a well tuned turbo you could make 110KW atw easily...
lightening the flywheel doesnt give you more power, it just allows your engine to rev more freely.
Guys
Read my thread and learn!! I've been through it all including blowing my D16Y1 as many others have...

Weq setup from back in the day and where I learned a lot of necessary info needed before attempting anything

Feel free to ask me any questions :thumbsup:
Should shoot lookingforboost (Ryan) a PM and see what he's got, might save yourself the hassle of Over Seas shipping
There ya have it. 97.5KW on a hot day with flat tyres and on 5psi. So with better weather, more air in the tyres and 8psi you could surely make 110KW+ atw :)
the d16y1 is tough for wat it is, with certain mods itll take a turbo go on honda tech u'll get more serious answers , also talk to vtc-boy he had a turbo'd eg ... or Lyle as his ride is turbo'd also... good luck
Yeah :)Quote:

Me personally I'm just going to do the I/H/E on my EH VTi, but I'm gonna do some heavier work on my CRX SiR :D
I read that thread and somebody said that using the stock TB and IM from the D16Y8 would add a bit of grunt to the D16Y1. Can anybody confirm this? I thought they were pretty much the same engine lol. What car has the D16Y8 standard?
hey mate as far as i know the TB and manifold flow the best of all the D series and are like the Type R of the bunch :P
i thought that the Y1 were the same i have a Y8 and a Y1 motor in the garage and both have the same manifold and TB
Cheers
You kinda confused me lol.Quote:

From what you said I gathered that the Y8 flows best of all D's.
Y8 has better flow but not enough to make a difference unless your running big boostQuote:

I have a 3" short ram that I'm going to extend into my bumper for my intake and I'm thinking either a 2" or 2.25" full exhaust would be nice (probably 4-2-1 headers).
So any ideas other than that?
Thanks.
Andy.
Nothing really makes any difference on the SOHC VTec but boost man..Quote:

Xforce 2" custom exhaust
Xforce 4-2-1 header
Xforce S12 twin Loop
Simoto cool air intake
After all the cost the car felt maybe 2% down low and no difference up high..
Save your money

But from what you've said I might just put the cash into the CRX and stick to the short ram & strut brace on my civic coz it sounds nicer and handles stiffer :)
Good chose :thumbsup:Quote:

Was punchier then I expected NA :p
Yeah the B16A pulls real hard. 118kw @ like 7800 RPM. I was thinking if one day I have loads of money I'd do a K or B18C into my CRX and then just whack the B16A into my civic, but then I realised the B16A is too old to put into my civic :(
I've got the 126kw version :pQuote:

But yeah sounds like a plan with the swaps :thumbsup:
hmm swaps :P
Yeah well the B18C is a bit too heavy for the CRX chassis I think. I'll just mod my B16A and have fun with that, it's my weekend car after all. The EH VTi is my daily :)
turbo it ..... buy my turbo kit he he :PQuote:

If i had the chance i'd get a b18 bottom.
Then i need to flare the front guards LOL
just wack a turbo on the CRX.... Dont worry about the daily. Thats what dailys are for, to spend no money on them and for them to get you from A to B with no problems and Cheep on fuel. I just got myself a 3cyl 1.0l 1995 Dihatsu charade 3 n half weeks ago for $2000. Im only just filling it up for the second time. i get 600-650 on $37. Lol Anyways
As i was saying just turbo the CRX if u want some power. I got 168kw on 10psi with my b16a2 which is the same as lukes. Great bang for buck.
btw Are CRX lighter than EG hatch?
Yes. ;)
depending on the CRX, normally they are heavier than the eg.
Yeah i got 163kwatw with 10psi on a b16a also.
Just depends how much u want
No way man, the EG has like 150kg on the CRX.
And yeah I've considered turbo charging the EF8 but I like being NA :(
thats caz you have never had boost ... once you have it you cant go back :P
Haha, yeah that's how I feel about Hondas in general. I'll look into it when I'm off my P Plates mate, but it's an expensive avenue :(

Still, if I could have afforded and K I would have
If there was a K conversion around when i did my B series conversion i would have done it. But i did my conversion a while ago.
Im not going to change my car now but if i was to start a EG project now i would do a K turbo :)
Wooooooooo i got the g reddy turbo kit. Sutututu soooon :d
