what do you guys recomend i need that isnt included in the kitt???

1. 440cc injects
2. clutch
3. intercooler kit.
4.exhaust 2.5inch at least, but go 3 inch for future upgrades
5. best to go stand alone ecu but will cost u arm and leg and left nut
6. get it tuned by hi experince tuner that knows their honda's.

thats about it to get u boosting unless u want xtreme more power go and forged ur engine.

It has a FMIC kit, but would you recommend buying a different IC anyway due to size/quality?

Also, would 60mm be an alright size for SOHC D-series running 6-10 PSI do you think?

What's the minimum injector size useable in your opinion, anything 440+ or is something like 390 or 275 manageable?

And clutch...make sure it can handle say...150nm torque at least?


genuine questions, not questioning your competence...
thanks!

Never knew that it was this much job to get the d-series turbo going.

Clutch and flywheel like that, around 1.5k? ORC would handle it wouldnt it? or maybe 6puk

It has a FMIC kit, but would you recommend buying a different IC anyway due to size/quality? i was talking about greddy kit, but wat are u talkin about greddy kit or ebay kit? greddy doesnt have a cooler. it has a loop pipe.

Also, would 60mm be an alright size for SOHC D-series running 6-10 PSI do you think? yes good enuf if ur talking about exhaust size.

i would go 440cc but 390 and 275 is manageable. always leave room for upgrades.

And clutch...make sure it can handle say...150nm torque at least?
stage 1 clutch will do. boost will make more than 150nm.

also get a boost/vac gauge, it will tell u if u have leaks and stuff.
and oil pressure gauge, it will tell u wats going on,like exceeding oil press or loss of it
so u dont blow the seals.

it is when everything adds up. i spent nearly closed to my market value of my car already. lol
and its not even completed also thats me doing all the labor n shit, so imagine workshop labor prices. btw i still need like 6-7k to finish it off.

[mugen_ctr]

Ebay and d series.org is ur friend, dont spend 1.5k for a clutch like orc, this isnt a mega power build, an orc dont do d series, and plz dont single out d series bein to hard to boost, every na to turbz is

60mm is fine, all tuners ive spoken to say 310cc smallest than 440cc recommended

wtf.

Could've went K-series

[cihanvtec]

thanks for all the help and advice guys!! if i culd, id rep u all!!!
im very close to getting an ebay kit!! ill see far its gna get me haha
from what i know, the install is pretty much diy.. if i was to install everything, would it be drivable with the standard ecu for a week or so until i can get some more cash or is that a big no no?? ive got a mate who says he can do the install for me, apparently its pretty straight forward.. from what i gather, the hardest part is going to be the cpu, and guage wiring?? what should i be prepared for? thanks guys

[honda_zivic]

lol, i know but fully built turbo d will get me 10s easy. i saw in the trading section k24 full swap for 5k , fuk me wud of bought it if i didn't already boosted this.

u can drive it on stock ecu as long as u stay in vacuum and not hit boost. well ( go very easy on throttle) but highly recomend u get base map chip tuned to ur specific setup so u can drive around safely.

installation is piss easy man, if u can use a screw driver u can do it.
with gauges there easy straight forward.
also depends wat ecu u use just get a hondata tbh plugs n play.
if u need help just pm me i still have pics of all my setup progress.

gather up sum tools/misc, u will need:
hack saw/grinder
socket set
screw drivers set
elctrical tape
soldering
anti seize rust penetration and wd-40
good quality metal clamps
gaskets
and many various stuffs.

i was talking about greddy kit, but wat are u talkin about greddy kit or ebay kit? greddy doesnt have a cooler. it has a loop pipe.
I was talking Ebay kit because I thought OP was referring to that when he said "what should I buy that isn't in THE kit" but yeah doesn't matter

yes good enuf if ur talking about exhaust size.
Sweet thanks

i would go 440cc but 390 and 275 is manageable. always leave room for upgrades.
I was just reading in Hot4's some bloke wrote an article on how to choose the flow rate of your injectors. I'll try to scan it later and post it up. Essentially according to the article a 275 setup would easily suffice provided you don't want to upgrade further. Open to opinion of course but I'll show you later - just food for thought.

stage 1 clutch will do. boost will make more than 150nm.
That's a relief, none of those mega-expensive ones lol

also get a boost/vac gauge, it will tell u if u have leaks and stuff.
and oil pressure gauge, it will tell u wats going on,like exceeding oil press or loss of it
so u dont blow the seals.
Again thanks

Never knew that it was this much job to get the d-series turbo going.

The good part is that it will go better than converting to a B-series. When I look at how much my B16A head build cost (full cams/valvetrain/intake etc) it's not worth it compared to going boost, nor is it worth converting to B-series rather than boosting a D.

Getting N/A power has proven to be quite expensive to me.
