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

**ek lover** · 21-06-2010 03:10 PM

thanks everyone for there input so far.

I have gotten incontact with Hi-power racing, 999 automotive and akmotor works for some quotes. Hi-power racing want me to go down and visit them, ill be able to do this within the next 4-5 weeks. i generally just want quotes to know how much cost i am going to face with this conversion.

999 automotive sound a bit dodgy compared to hi power; anyone have experience with these two?

Theres nothing wrong in using 2nd parts, providing all the parts in in good condtion, it should last forever, like any parts you put on ur car

B16/20 conversion is tempting.......

id rather go the peak boost kit cos if u want to go any further in the future theres no need to upgrade the turbo parts just the motor u will need to upgrade. if u dont plan on boosting any higher than 10psi then go greedy as itll save u but the turbo is very small and u would prob get like 110 to 120kw the peak kit will net u close to 140 to 150kw as it has bigger turbo and better flow manifold.

but yeah just think of long tern and short term, if ur gonna swap to a B series but still want to boost for now go greedy, if u want to keep the D for a while pick the Peak kit.

in saying this do you have a D series yourself? im not looking to do any transplants i want boost straight up.

What i want to know, is the money spent worth it; as in someone who has done this and enjoy the gains. im not originally a honda person so i dont know comparisions to different engines. is it possible to keep up with or pass a standard commy or falcon? im not expecting this to be a rocket but i do expect some decent gains with the mone spent.

Im looking at spending 12-15k with install and thats alot of money to play with hehehe. that is peakboost D series turbo kit, injectors, fuel pump, flywheel, clutch, ecu, exhaust.

yes i have a d series im running a peak kit at 135 kw 7 psi on a low reading dyno so its more like 140-143.

im very happy with the resaults as my car originally had 65-70kw and yes u can keep up with a few commos and falcons.

u can get a peak kit installed for under 12k with all the extras like Inj,FP, FW, Clt, Ext, EMS and tune as i did.

PM'd u

**mugen_ctr** · 22-06-2010 02:05 AM

hey, if u do come along the cruise, would u mind if some of us guys get a ride in ur car? lol, stuff "vtec", boost all the way!

12k is hell of a lot of dough! geeee... i wasnt expecting that kinda of money to be involved, and that alone is just the engine, lol, i do intend to do suspension work, hence why at most my budget will be very most 3-4k

sorry man im not gonna be here, ill be in QLD

**kccord** · 22-06-2010 10:07 PM

PM sent!!!

I just can't believe and stand with that amount of money, achieving low powers. There is no need to go that far where it is not going to be usable at max, quality yes it is assured and so as many other kits and parts but dayum...spend your money in Aus = rip off.

I missed out on clutch in the PM, you'll find that the contact that I recommend to you to buy ecu also stock heavy duty clutches at very competitive price.

12k i'd expect closer to 200kw atw.
that's an expensive build for a D series.

**mugen_ctr** · 24-06-2010 10:36 AM

yeap, very expensive, and that cost doesnt even involve opening up the engine to drop in forged pistons etc.... jus the turbo kit with everything else to make it run... not worth the dough
