D16y8 turbo or n/a
 

I have been thinking about going two routes with my car....Either too find me some Viatara pistons with ls rods, and lower the compression somehow and go with a custom turbo setup, or wire vtec, get a vafc unit and build the motor and roll around N/A. If I were to go custom turbo setup I would use a te04h turbo from the old LeBaron 2.2t. I already have the turbo, and I have a y8 oil pan with a welded in t bracket. The car is a 4 door sedan, swapped in a d16y8 with 120,000 miles...Very clean motor, arp head studs, and a brand new oem honda head gasket. I figured I would ask your guys' opinion because you know your stuff about the kind of power "junkyard" turbo setups can produce.

---- it I wont even flame... just think www.homemadenonturbo.com sounds gay, theres an faq sticked to this forum take some time to read noob

Re: D16y8 turbo or n/a
 

okay let me rephrase the question. is the te04h turbo worth the time? or should I find myself a dsm turbo? the only reason I said n/a is cause I haven't heard of many people using the te04h turbo so I figured it was poo.

by the way I admit being a noob as far as "junkyard" turbo setups.

yes you are a nube.. but you dont have to be one just take good advice..

get a hf mani weld that shitty turbo to it get you self some fuel management crome+bigger injectors or some ---- and boost it will be fun cuz you get instant low end power that hondas never have..
my first turbo set up was a ihi vj11 off a old ass subaru GL welded to a hf manifold wiht a stick welder..
side mount ic home depo connector and volvo charge pipes and silicon connectors management was a injector in the charge pipe before the tb and and a $5 pressure switch from hsc electronics activated it....
it was my first set up it was fun but too bad it only lasted a 2 weeks it blew my head gasket from detonation cuz first i didnt even have any fuel management ( i had a windshield washer fluid injected into the inlet of the turbo.. lol.. water injection)then i got that injector in there ------ rigged it into the pipe wiht some jb weld and then the turbo shaft got all wobbly and ----(not to mention how bad it was when i bought it) and took a dump but just get the management taken care off and you should be good and if the turbo takes a ---- oh well it was only 45$ get a better on little bit bigger, newer less wobble in the -----.. and your good

Any turbo is better that N/A. O0

Re: D16y8 turbo or n/a
 

I just worded the question wrong. my bad. but like I said before is the turbo worth my time or should I find a t25 or t28?

Re: D16y8 turbo or n/a
 

just puts it the best

learn to weld too kneegrow thats one of the best things you can do/ invest in

Re: D16y8 turbo or n/a
 

honestly don't waste your time N/A with d-series. Any half-assed junkyard turbo setup will generally make more than even a well build N/A D16 can.

Re: D16y8 turbo or n/a
 

Why, n/a of course! :y :l

Re: D16y8 turbo or n/a
 

yes any day!! WORD this is home made turbo btw :S why is n/a a queston no torque no power no ---- just bull ---- waht the hell just alot of :S and $$$ spend and waht good dose it do a good 500$ junk yard turbo well actually 500 will get u a good used turbo just if you put taht money in work wiht good knowledg so start looking for parts nube
get a t25 + hf mani or a dirty d top mouint to your stock header

btw just goo and look at the NOOBS IF YOU WANT TO BUILD A TURBO KIT tread in forced induction catagory

and then ask smart questions not stupid ones..

Re: D16y8 turbo or n/a
 

ok turbo4life I read that ----. not once does it say anything about the te04h turbo which is what I asked about! if you guys would read before you flamed that might help this whole process. the turbo has no shaft play, but it is 24 years old, and a small turbo at that, what I have been asking is should I use this turbo or find a dsm turbo?????

Re: D16y8 turbo or n/a
 

well if you already own that te04h turbo in your possession and it has little to no shaft play then use what you gut :1

Re: D16y8 turbo or n/a
 

i got 450's if you want them

Re: D16y8 turbo or n/a
 

toss that hoe on there and boost your should be good.. where are u located..

Re: D16y8 turbo or n/a
 

okay little update. I was taking the turbo apart to clean the turbo out and the head of the impeller bolt broke off.

Re: D16y8 turbo or n/a
 

I may want those 450's, not sure yet. I live in Colorado. why?

Re: D16y8 turbo or n/a
 

why the hell did you take it apart now go get the t25 i told you about :P
or just go bigger for the firs time 45 trim t3 .42/.48 off a volvo or diesel mercades.. or some ----..

Re: D16y8 turbo or n/a
 

do the math man...it had been sitting on a chrysler motor in a junkyard in a car that had no hood. I took the turbo off and it was in desperate need of a cleaning so I started taking it apart to clean everything out. which worked fine until I got the housing and snapped the impeller bolt. oh well it cost me like $20. whoopdy doo. I wanted a t25 or t28 anyways. I wouldn't wanna mess with a t3 off of a saab or volvo. personal preference.
