also to get back on topic a little bit I think you should get a greddy profec b boost controller with the remote switch setup on the steering wheel so then you can adjust boost level from say 5 daily to 10 on race night. Just for the record 10 psi wouldn't be bad but def MAX on a stock d series motor. My friend runs 10 daily and his motor is still fine after 45,000 miles but I wouldn't do it, so yea good luck

If you were really about getting the most of your money, you'd have a nitrous setup to go with your boltons like OC does.
BTW, just wondering if i could ask you how your car does against other hondas. Im sure you have raced a few civic SI's and Ludes now and then. |

i do want to boost, i definately want a turbo BUT i cant do shit to that car until the bank collects all 11,000 and so far i have only paid 233.00 SO you can see where i am getting with this... i will have that car paid off in about 3 years, i just need to start makin more bank so i can increase my payments. 65000 is not a lot of miles to start talkin rebuild for a turbo. BUT it is high enough that i might be doing more damage than good, ESPECIALLY running 10 lbs on race night. should i just upgrade cams, rods and pistons when i am ready to boost?

i'd get nitrous but i want the power all the time. i've only raced one SI and in 1st and 2nd we were pretty much even, then in 3rd he started to pull away. I'm hoping the 4.7FD will take care of most near stock b16civics out there. oh and this was quite some time ago, before the test pipe and i think exhaust.

question, where the hell do you guys get all your money to soupe up your cars. some of the things you people talk about are insane, granted i would do an engine swap in a heart beat if i knew the gains, but between nitrous, turbos, coil overs, skirts, wings, friggin TV monitors in the dash, where does it all come from?? are you guys getting hooked up with parts or something?? teach me the secret... ALL my money just goes to paying off my car, i need extra cash... any suggestions. and yes, i do have a real job.

Not to shabby - USDM b16 im guessing. Honestly though, i wish you could drive my car - its quite different from how it was before. Not to flame, but B16's benefit quite well from i/h/e boltons. I bet with a good launch(provided your LSD is installed) and the new final drive you could lead through 2nd gear. But once third hits i'd say you still might be in trouble only because of your current lack of high end power. Ur gonna turbo right? |

You'll notice that most of us here on the civic board are into performance than looks.

alright real answers for midnight02...first off good luck finding better internals for and 02....i seem to hit a wall when i started looking.. second main difference other then litre size in the d16-d17 is how the manifold is...the d16 uses round and the 17 uses square (or the other way around) running 10 will eventually blow your engine withouth doing any internal work. If your gonna turbo it i reccommed a quafe LSD it goes for $1000 for a 02 ex. Be careful what you do to your car becuase the 02's a ULEV's and if you have to take emmisions for your state your screwed if you turbo.....i got an 02 ex...most of my stuff comes from ebay.....honeslty it's not bad...at the time i bought this stuff i was in the army...now i'm a broke college kid....if you have any questions you can IM at bbguy5 on aol....also my brothers a honda tech so i get answers from him all the time about my honda...oh yea get an ACT clutch and flywhell run you about 500

I doubt it would, and to find out the a/r just simply email the guy and ask. Don't dis ebay h0r you just bought one off ebay for cheap !!! Besides it's still a turbo and a manifold that could handle 7 or 8psi... remember this is a Honda not a high powered car. It's a stock D series motor at that we're talking about so hush up My advice to that kid anyway is " I wouldn't waste my time with hondas just buy a supra and be done with it " |

Damn thats light... Well, youre gonna loose revs a whole lot quicker with the lightened wheel, right? So, boost would drop quicker as well. I personally wouldnt want that on a street car. Just my thoughts |

Not only have I heard of a 2g manifold crack, i have seen it. My buddy was running a greddy turbo in his talon tsi awd and he not only cracked the manifold COMPLETELY in half but he fried the coil pack i was going to buy the car but it would have costed me so much money. the header split in half right down the middle because of his "20 lbs" of boost. he was able to roast all 4 tires so i wouldnt doubt the car, it WAS the fastest car in my city at the time, it was very very popular. Also, what is an LSD and what kind of internals are hard to find for the 02 ex |

i have a factory flywheel that weighs 10lbs and i have no problems with revs dropping to fast in between shifts. anyone who does have such a problem probably needs to learn how to drive. so you get the benefits of the engine reving up faster and as long as you dont shift like a granny there'll be no real side effect. |

Wouldnt that be bad for a turbo setup where you wanna keep the thing spooled up? Not like its gonna be bad for racing, but driving the car normally will suck.

I just thought of this a little while after i last posted my reply:
the turbo being spooled isnt really directly related to RPMs, if the engine is spinning at 5k due to momentum of the rotating parts the engine itself isnt creating very much exhaust energy since your off the gas. i'm not sure how much air is getting pulled in the pushed out, but i'm guessing it aint much. who knows maybe i'm wrong. either way if it does cause somekinda problem(which i highly doubt), factory flywheels are like $50 and i could probably sell the prolite for at least 100$. |

First off, let me reittierate not to get that ss-autochrome turbo manifold. I frequent many turbo boards. That manifold is a POS. I agree that it is pretty but trust me on this one. I know many people online who were very disapointed about that product. My buddy has it and it cracked on him within 2 weeks. He added another brace to it, but it cracked again in less than a month. Stay away from the manifolds made by these company:
-SS-autochrome -OBX -Stone racing -Spark Go to www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/ and ask or do a search.... you'll see. About that turbo, watch out! The same buddy of mine who bought that deal (manifold+turbo) ended up sending the turbo somewhere to get it rebuild. Again, this is within a 2 month time frame. You choice, your money..... |

the increased reving capabi;ities, and throttle response more than makes up for the disadvantages a lightened flywheel has. trust me. |

the only time you lose revs quicker with a lightened flywheel is when you're engine braking or when you put in the clutch... in either situation the bov would vent the boost anyway... Also the turbo's don't really make power when they're not under load So it's almost better for the turbo to not have the extra momentum keeping it spinning when there's no reason for it... Also the lightened flywheel will allow the car to get up to boost rpms a LOT faster... By losing a percentage of weight on the flywheel you gain a percentage of power that's going to the wheels... with a turbo this is only amplified... Be careful though my buddy put a too light flywheel in his VW and now it stalls at stops pretty regularly unless he keeps the revs up.

Well I'm sorry if I missed many reply 's I'm tired of reading 3 pages of them
I have a d17a2 engine as I serch for tune for it you can run a stage3 turbo kit will cost around 3000-3999 $ not sure cabable of doing 450 shoot on stock motor and tuned fule system you will get from 75-100 shoot on (( stock )) with 6 PSI which means going above the 200 barrire will run within the 200 hp range carswith stock engine Take in mind a D egines will not live if you run more than 6 psi 6 psi is you Green Line above this 1 psi only is your red line so don't plan to go above the 6 psi as most of the turbo kits co's will tell you to run on 6 psi if you are planning to run on stock you can find the best trubos's at this web site , I'm planning to buy a turbo kit fro my K20A3 Honda Stream ( not solid within the us ) at this moment http://www.turbo-kits.com all engines on planet can be tuned , don't listen to these noobs Who think sawp is the way to go , I know a someone Who Done a 600 Shoot from a D16 he beats alomst all cars in a drag race onces made before he beats a tuned mostange 1992 Old Comoro 70's Corvette 1998 SX240 Galant VR turbo the only thing he didn't be able to beat Dodage Viper GTS-R it was really damn fast shit good luck |

Man.... this thread is old..... anyway, I would like to see that 600hp D16.
Tuning is everything. I have been boosting my D16Y8 for 4 years now and was only below 6 psi for 6 months within that time frame. D16's are stronger than what people think. I have been running 10 psi daily for 2 years now with no problem. D16turbo vs B-series swap on this forum has been a beat up subject already. |
