Default 1997 Honda Civic LX 1.6 SOHC non Vtec D16y7 Turbo Help

I have a T3/T4 Turbo A/R 50. I am not to sure about the trim. I have the Intercooler,wastegate,BOV. I am needing help where to find the turbo piping from the intake manifold to the turbo itself. This is my first turbo build lol. My goal right now is 200-220 whp. What size injectors do you suggest? What Kind of ECU should I get? I want to push around 8-10 PSI.

For the intake piping you could find it anywhere it depends how you want it to look. They make kits you can order or you can check ebay since I dont think your setup is too serious.. Or you can check tje classifieds for used piping sand it paint it and your good .for tuning get a p28 a jumber harness and tune it on chrome or some other free program or buy hondata and tune woth that but its more expensive. Injectors you could use from a dsm they're 450cc I think they should be good enough for now and room to grow

So I need a conversion harness. Obd2 to obd1 conversion harness. The tuning sounds really confusing. Are there any programs out already tuned when you buy or do you need to take it to a professional? i was told chrome is a good program. later on I want to add Vitara Pistons and eagle rods to make 300-400whp. Right now I am just going to keep the internals stock. I think the stock internals can handle up to 220whp.

Yes you need a jumber from obd2 to obd1. For tuning try and find a local shop to either street tune it or dyno tune..

No I have a y5 comes with v-tec e
Im trying to find a small turbo to spool fast and have a wide power band as opposed to having a big turbo that starts spooling at 4000 rpm I want mine to hit full boost before 3000 rpm. Im gonna use chrome also with dsm injectors and a p28 same as what you want to do.. I went with an hf manifold though cause I want to be able to put a heat shield that looks stock on top and im gonna be using a cut out for my exhaust.
