d16y8 turbo

AVO kit is good but abit more expensive.
The AVo uses a T28 (have a few different ones depending on kit).
Luke's got the Greddy and i have to say i was quite impressed with the kit and certainly value for money.

I've seen in the past the AVO kits makes some decent power, why not have them build it all for you, the last d-series I remember seeing from them punched out a healthy 130kW atw, not too bad

i wouldnt expect anything less then that on a y8 motor

my y4 made 117kw atw on a very safe tune but with a custom kit with room for improvement... but i didnt wanna spend anymore money lol

I can make 131Kw at 11-12psi right now with only 2" exhaust..

My guess is I should make 130KW at 10psi once my 2.5" exhaust is installed..

There's a reason why the GReddy kits sucks at higher psi.. It’s the crap actuator as WEQ found out a long time ago when trying to up the boost..

New GCG 8 pound actuator installed now and they made a massive difference.. and an Elec boost controller will help even more

So just add $150 bucks on top of the kit or buy a very good elec boost controller..

avo is something like double the price. im only looking for 8psi so i think the greddy would be ideal for what i am after..

Its also a small turbo, it maxes out too early.
But for small boost its perfect. You will get virtually no lag also

Yeah lag is for sure a big plus

Also the Y8 GReddy kits have a slighly bigger turbo than mine

avo kit is quality though... it uses garret turbo charger and u can even choose to have a black anodized intercooler...
super stealth

black anodized intercooler...
super stealth

Good idea turbo-charging the dseries. It presents excellent value for money. I used to own a y8 turbo, in brisbane too. Not much power as tuners were few and far between. I used a guy at kp performance in salisbury but don't go there. He doesn't know anything about hondas. Maybe a bolt on kit is just what you need. But the best gains would be to tune it to your engine. There's not too much difference between the greddy and avo turbo kit. There will be a huge difference in tune though.

definently having troubles searching for a tuner. might end up having to take it somewhere else for that (sydney) if i dont find anyone worthy...

ppl have said some mixed stuff bout dynodave so i dunno,

"Ivan" from some place in brisbane said something on boost how he dosnt want ppl like me coming to his shop and blamin us for blowing up my engine so yer sounds like there is a background story that needs checking there.

No tune needed to begin with at stock boost as the GReddy kit e-manage comes pre-tuned for your motor with safe base line maps

I drove my car for months without a tune

Adrian (TODA) dynoed it for me just to be sure and yup perfect safe tune...

Thats what i mean. It's pre-tuned so it's a universal map for most fuel types. Not every engine will be in the same condition, some may have more compression than others and so forth. That's why if your engine is in better condition, why not make full use of the turbo kit? It will handle a more agressive tune safely than an engine that has been used and abused.
