wow yall are really good at flaming huh? ya my teacher is one of those mullett wearing
muscle car loving "rednecks" but hes got a turbo'd 2.3ltr ranger that runs at 20+ psi of boost his truck is banned at the strip around here for having a rear wheel drive import?
they just basically got pissed that they couldnt beat a truck with a engine a third there size, and he fab'd the whole thing his self too. hehe revised and just said "good luck" he knows it can be done (ex his truck). so where can i get a mani for this app.?
i have been reading on this subject for a while and knew it can be done. i just believed my teacher cuz he hasnt steered<--(sp) me wrong too much. oh and also i couldnt get the damn turbo off i have only two more bolts left on the mani. i got this black guy to flip the car over with a tractor... seemed to make it easier but its still provin to be a bitch anyone know any tricks?

p.s. i was gonna show my teacher yall's post but would prolly make him cry

oh ya and so the turbo on the 89? 300zx single turbo only runs at 5psi of boost max?
so i wouldn't even need the wastegate huh? also does anyone on here live in ky?
meeting someone that can help me with this in person sounds appealing.cuz i got infinite many questions and limited amount of research.
also if i want more psi of boost all that's needed is forged pistons,cams, and lifters rigth? and would sleeving help incase i ---- a piston? also i heard the stock gearbox only holds up to 230whp in my 95 civic ex, should i be looking for a gsr gearbox?
i know that turbo should only put me around 175 whp but im shoot in for around 210.
and i def. want a lot more tq. im also im gettin this engine of a 95 del sol it's vtec is it also the d16z6, and if i'm gettin a free port and polish sooo will that help turbo wise?
and help is much appreciated.

actually im not sure what year it is i researched on ebay motors but and they dont look
exactly like it it has t-tops and a hood that opens the opposite from most cars
the hood also has vents, and that's pretty much all i know about it does any one know what turbo this has or even what year it is?

lol, no that 300zx turbo runs 5psi because its wastegate is set at that. you already should have a WG. its the round thing with the rod sticking out of it. best way to describe it. should also be on the back of the turbo.

and if you research this site, you could very easily make a nice homemade set-up out of those parts you have. there are a few people around the site who sell nice manifolds for decent prices and from the way i see it...since you really havent had to put much $$ into the set-up, you could spend the $$ on a decent manifold.

for those injectors, its not the injector of choice. You could get the tuner toys injectors and pretty much plug and play with them. alot of HMT set ups use mitsubishi "blue top" 450cc injectors. Your wire harness will need to be modified a little if you want to go this route.

I highly suggest you read all of the stickies and get real confused (because you will) then research everything you are confused on. From there, you could easily create a nicely boosted honda. Its not something you can just wake up and do on a weekend though if you have no previous experience with it all.

Trust me when I tell you - RESEARCH. This board is jam packed full to the gills of all the answers you could possibly have questions for. Spend a few weeks. YES WEEKS looking at other peoples setups and reading posts. After that, you'll have no problem creating a shopping list and a plan of action. If you play your cards right, you can easily do it for <$1000

1) The turbo runs at 5psi because it has an Internal Wastegate that sets it at that point, so you do need that wastegate that is connected to the turbo, just like Junyard said. Without that wastegate the turbo will probably run an infinate amount of boost, well as much as the engine can give it before blowing up. There's more into this but that's a basic run down.

2) For more boost you basically have to build your block, pistons, rods and bolts with a nice headgasket, is a basic build. Sleeving is optional. It all depends in your HP goals. If you want around 200 Whp, that's probably 230 or so to the crank, you don't need to build your engine.

3) The stock transmission can hold more than 230. Your axles will break first. But llifetime warranty axles, and $50 transmissions are not bad. Now the stock gearbox will hold more than that. Clutch will need to be replaced.

4) GSR gearbox, tranny and axles, will not fit your engine, d16z6. They are out of a B18 engine. Read some more.

5) With good tuning and 10-12 psi you will reach your goal of around 200whp. Torque qill be close to the HP number also.

6) DelSols came with both the same d16z6, and a B16 DOHC Vtec engine. Check which one it is. If it is the same as your and you can get it cheap, keep it just incase you have a little "accident" on your first setup and blow it up. If it is the B16 sell it to me

7) A good Port will increase air/gas flow, so it will help, it's no like you will get an extra 50hp boost, but it will help.

That motor was blown up in what? ------- 1998 turbo'd imports have come a long way since then


Ok im going to throw you a little bone here and make a rough parts list for you:

Turbo with internal Wastgate
Turbo manifold
Turbo gaskets
Bolts for turbo to manifold
Down pipe flange
Exhaust Flexpipe
Intercooler
2.5" pre bent piping for intercooler and down pipe
DSM 450cc injectors
Bosch style injector clips
Resister box
Blow off valve
Blow off valve flange
Oil line kit
Weld in O2 Bung
Silicone couplers
Hose clamps for couplers
Boost gauge
Vacume line for gauge
Vacume "T" fitting

If im leaving any thing out feel free to correct me

Now research these items one at a time and figure out where to get them at the best price and you should have most of the stuff to turbo your car except fuel management.
