???Everey peice
 

As far as I know of what I need to complete the kit, I have a 1995 civic coupe2dr ex(D16z6) I am not sure all what I need for the setup, as far as I know i think I need:
Manifold
Turbo
oil return lines
charge pipes
down pipe
Turbo timer
boost controller
FMU
Intercooler

if there is anything else or somthing I dont need on this list criticism would be awsome, thanks guys. ;)

Re: ???Everey peice
 

id get a bov, dont get the fmu... but rather 450 injectors/afc hack. turbo timer isnt needed, but u can have that.

Re: ???Everey peice
 

You'll need a few misc things that'll add up and I'm too lazy to type it out but I would personally ditch the fmu and go with uberdata.

There is this web site called www.homemadeturbo.com You should check out.... https://www.homemadeturbo.com/turbo%5Fprojects/ there you will find all kinds of turbo write ups, what works what doesnt. This is how most people start off. I saved you some time and found this... https://www.homemadeturbo.com/turbo_projects/d16z6/
you should check it out to.
also there is a forum on www.homemadeturbo.com which I see you found. From there you can talk to different people who have the same ideas and concerns that you do. With that said...

Yes Im being a smart ass. You should look around and research every last little detail, and thats what you are doing. Good job. Look all around the site, and see what works and what is useless. There is lots of porn on the web site which helps when creating a bad ass turbo set-up, its just a reminder of all of the ----- that you will be getting with a swoosh sound from under your hood...
(good justification)

Re: ???Everey peice
 

Read, Read, Read, Post, Read, Read, Think and then Read some more and then build your kit.

BTW, go with the hack/injectors and you probably don't need a boost controller, turbo timer or FMU. And there's a boatload of nuts and bolts and washers and gaskets...

You will need an oil feed line and decide on a wastegate (internal vs. external) and some gauges would do wonders.

Re: ???Everey peice
 

ty to all,..I was asking because. the projects differ, i summerized what was in the d16z6 projects, but i still wanted to know what is a nesecity and what I need to run a good fast spooling turbo kit, thus the reason for me to post on the forum, which I so convienently found.

Re: ???Everey peice
 

Research my fellow newb. research. people have posts on what they have found works and what doesnt.

Re: ???Everey peice
 

And be patient... I'm starting my install tonight, almost 9 months after I decided to turbo and at least 8 months of research (and being lazy). :P

It's not hard to put a kit together, but you should really take the time to understand what you're doing as well...

Re: ???Everey peice
 

umm, I was under the impression this forum was for help purposes if you don't want to comment about somthing that will help me then I don't see the point in making remarks that slander somone. I am here because this is an acredited site for tech help and enviornment. I did research and yet again as I have stated before the projects differ, therefore Me posting this thread

Re: ???Everey peice
 

Ty to all that have helped with m questions, I understand I am new, and probably not going about this the best way, but thankyou for your patience. I really appreciate your views and info. ty

Re: ???Everey peice
 

Ty man, thanks for the info helps soooo much, can I use the stock oil pan
?

Re: ???Everey peice
 

definelty, i used my stocker on my d16z6,drilled a hole, ran the fitting you get with the stealthmode kit and jb welded that sucker, then painted when dry, looks stock and doenst leak, just watch where you put it, i had to trim a little of the fitting off the back(the part thats actually in the pan) in fear of it hitting something while the motor was running and if youre gonna use a dsm smic ill email you some pics on how to install it without cutting a bunch of stuff apart, that was the only thing i had trouble finding

Re: ???Everey peice
 

Yeah man I hear ya' your just lookin for a little help, but everything that you ask for is already on this post. have you thought of purchasing an already homemade kit. There are lots of kits on this site for around 300-400 bucks. Not bad....and should be considered.
https://www.homemadeturbo.com/turbo%5Fprojects/
there are alot of projects at that site and ALOT of info. Pretty much everything you need to know. And you said you wanna know little things such as fuel managament, thers alot of that info in the forums section. Your thread started as you wanted to know everything that you needed, now, its how do I do it....Man, its all on this site, look around alot more, then ask questions.

I hope I didnt come accross as a dickhead, I didnt mean to be.
research

Re: ???Everey peice
 

heh np man, and I have been researching, it's just lots of these projects differ from what parts they have used to how they decided to install it, see what I'm sayin man =) but thanks for everyones help and if I did come off as it seeming that way, It's just because I dont know enough to just start building mine, I prefer to learn things before I do them so I don't ---- up and waste money =)

Re: ???Everey peice
 

Yeah man I hear ya! In your case, I would buy someone elses old set-up. Buy it, you will probably get a mani, turbo, IC, BOV, check this out...
https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...threadid=21192
not to bad, and a really, really nice start. you can get lines/adapter plates and such from the dealers in the for sale section of HMT. You will have maybe 500 bucks in the system.

I wish I had 500 bucks. :'( :-\ :'(

Re: ???Everey peice
 

lol, Yea I wish I did too =) but thanks man you did come off as a dick head at first, but thanks for understanding =) just hard to be new to a forum and try to meet everyones expectations. and try to not sound so needy =) ty for everything man
