D16Y4 Turbo kit ( i understand this has been brought up abit)

**ek lover** · 19-06-2010 02:08 PM

Hey Guys,

im new to the Car Modifing scene and have been out of the car scene for a few years. i currently own a 1996 Honda Civic cxi hatchback which is in unreal condition and low k's. Within the next few weeks ill be looking to modify it with the usual bodykit, rims, suspension, turbo and a few other things; the point of this post is to clarify a few things (older posts are dated to far back) and make sure im going in the right direction.

I understand that alot of people do go with the Peakboost turbo kit as it seems to be realible at 7psi on stock internals. what are the pros and cons with going with peakboost? who supplies this either within brisbane or other states are fine.

With the other posts that i have come across they mainly talk about what they are going to do to the engine and thats about it. with adding this turbo kit on, would i be looking at upgrading the gearbox and clutch to cope with this? would i need to upgrade the CV joints? is there anything else running gear wise which i will need to upgrade?

i know there are some basic questions however i was not able to find answers for these.

i hope someone is able to help me.

the only auth dealer is Akmotorwork and are in Melb but they can post the kit out to u.

the pros is that u would very close to double or a bit over (like my self) ur current power.

cons the the kit is a bit on the expensive side

theres no need to upgrade the gearbox really as im still running stock.

i do suggest changing the clutch and flywheel as u will need the clutch to hold the new power.

CV joints u can leave stock unless urs are rooted otherwise theres no point.

Thanks for your input man i appreciate this.

Yeah i will definately go with peakboost then, ill get in contact with akmotorworks and get this organized.

Okay awesome so i can practically leave the running gear all the same - clutch and flywheel; is there a particular brand you could recommend to me, or should i do some research in that area? oh also i have noticed that some people put in LSD's, for a everyday driver and not seeking massive horsepower would i need to bother going with one?

If you guys are interested im more then happy to put photos up of my progress?

no need to put in an LSD unless thats what you want or you have the extra money. you will need a decent clutch to hold the extra power and an aftermarket computer to control it all, dont skimp out because it will cost you more in the end, you will should also invest into an upgraded fuel pump as well.

i have a brand new excedy cusioned button clutch kit i was going to put in my D16 turbo and i have an 500hp drop in walbro fuel pump that i dont need anymore if your looking at getting somthing just PM me

**ek lover** · 20-06-2010 01:24 PM

okay no worries, if i dont need to then i probably wont; down the track if i want to i will. yeah most definately, i wont skimp out on what i need cause it will bite me in the arse down the track.

ill keep that in mind, ill post here my progress and see what you guys think

**mugen_ctr** · 20-06-2010 02:12 PM

off topic slightly, how much does akmotor warez sell there kits for D-series motors? this includes ecu, wiring harness, fuel pump etc.....

like LFB said no need for LSD, spend it on the EMS and fuel system to get it running good.

yeah throw up some pics of the build

**ek lover** · 20-06-2010 03:45 PM

thanks for your advise - ill look to get a decent ems and fuel system; i want to get it right the first time.

I have sent a email to 999 Automotive just to enquire about a few things. when i get a quote ill post it here to see what you guys think. anyone in brisbane used these guys, are there work decent?

Ill also put up some photo of my ride and its current progress

Appreciate everyones help so far

Thanks quangsuke,

Ive sent a email to AK Motorwork for a quote on some parts - i guess ill wait for tomorrow for a reply; do you work for them? If so what would be the actual part names you have listed there? i gather those amounts are rough pricing?

Unfortunately i dont live in melbourne so i would need to get the parts shipped to me and find someone to install it.

Thanks for your input - ill get some photos of my car tomorrow.
