umm..that ---- is mad complecated

Re: d16 turbo
 

depends on what you want. quick spool? or top-end?

Re: d16 turbo
 

Telling us you have pistons, rods and a built head don't mean ---- to us. You need to tell us your HP goals and if you want a turbo that will spool quickly or one with a little lag. The higher the A/R the slower the turbo spool (make boost).

Some people use a T3 turbo with an A/R .42/.48 because they are common. This turbo spool quickly and depending on your setup, can yield 200 whp or more. Some people like myself use a T3 turbo with A/R .48/.60. This turbo has a good spool time (minimal lag) and can yield up to 300 whp.

Don't be a lazy ass, and do some research if you haven't done so yet. Again, it depends on what you want 8).

i waant to spool up quick and top-end....and my goal is 250-300

Re: d16 turbo
 

.48/.60 Sounds perfect for your application.

Re: d16 turbo
 

i dont know what you mean by having rods and pistons.300 is gonna be pretty tough with a sohc. your gonna need a big turbo, nos to spool it, big injectors, properly built motor, and a really good tune. most people on this site realisticly get 200 to maybe 250 with a good tune out of a sohc. if you want to get bigger power, you need to go dohc. then maybe youll hit 300 hp. and dont forget the other stuff that youll need to get to that goal like a good clutch, fuel pump, good flowing exhaust, good tires make a huge differance, intercooler, colder sparkplugs...etc etc etc

Re: d16 turbo
 

Sounds like you need a good mechanic because you are gonna blow your car up. What kind of manifold do you have right now?

Re: d16 turbo
 

thats a lot of misinformation for one post...maybe you shouldve made two. A built sohc shoulnt have much trouble with 300hp with the right turbo...which wont need NAWZZ necessarily.

Re: d16 turbo
 

example?

Re: d16 turbo
 

youll find a lotof built SOHC's at turbod16.com making more than 300whp without spray.

Re: d16 turbo
 

To make a reliable 250-300 WHP you'll need the following:

1. Forged rods, pistons and a good set of rings.
2. Good flowing manifold.
3. Free flowing exhaust system - 2.5" to 3".
4. T3 turbo - at least A/R .48/.60.
5. Larger injectors - DSM 450cc (because they are cheap and easy to get).
6. Walbro 255 LPH fuel pump - to make sure you have sufficient fuel when needed.
7. A 2.5 or a 3 bar map sensor.
8. Some will suggest reinforcing the block by adding aftermarket sleeves or filling the block or
block posting or a block guard (there are good and bad views about the block guard).
9. Some will suggest porting the head and a getting a 3 or 4 or 5 angle valve job.
10. Colder spark plugs - stick with NGK.

TUNING IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.

Search the forum and you will find most of the items listed above - very good quality and very good prices.

YOU ARE A LAZY ASS NOOB :y. YOUR QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED MANY TIMES BEFORE. SEARCH BEFORE YOU ASK THE NEXT ONE 8).

Re: d16 turbo
 

drunkinmaster needs to watch what he is sayin there are people hitting over 500 hp with the sohc so think before typen plus it easy to hit 250 to 300 hp with a sohc. if money grows on tree for you.. you can do it

Re: d16 turbo
 

You also need to upgrade your clutch and pressure plate, and you need an engine management system (eg Uberdata) to control air/fuel mixture, timing, etc.

Re: d16 turbo
 

i never said that it be impossable to hit 300 hp reliably, like i said you need to do alot to achieve that goal. you cant just slap a turbo on and have 300 hp out of a sohc. there alot involved just like stanB said.
you are talking out of your ass. id like you to show me a 500 reliable hp sohc d motor.http://www.bbc.co.uk/films/2004/12/0...erview_top.jpg

Re: d16 turbo
 

How about 554 hp? Get this, the tuner sounds liked it was his only car and daily driven! Here's the link http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1345861 and you'll see the that car.
Does it cost money yeah but it also costs to switch over to dohc so why not turbo this awesome power
from this great motor. Also, reliability comes from tune and how much abuse will this motor see
daily.
