Hello.
 

Hi guys. I got referred here from customcivics.com

Im a daily driver of a 96 civic sedan with d16y7. i'm looking for a little more power, and like everyone here I love boost. I'll be hopefully getting it done this summer (I'm in school right now) and hope to find this site a helpful resource.

I was first looking at getting an Edelbrock kit althought they are built for the Y8, I'd have to make some adjustments and i wouldnt be able to use the intake
manifold they provide. but isntead i'm hopefully gonna try to build a DIY b/c that edelbrock costs one lucky penny. I was just curious, do u think its possible to run around 15's with a sedan under 8-10psi with a t3/t4 turbo? thats what i'm thinking of getting. Im not too woried about having the fastest car, i just crave a litle more than 106bhp. surely u know what i mean, i would just like a reference time that people typically can expect with a boosted sedan (dont worry i'm not the type of guy to floor it at every light, i'm just curious)

thx,

Ahmed.

Re: Hello.
 

15's, wow. Talk about your low goals.

You'll be getting much faster than 15's with 8 psi on basically any turbo on that engine :P

Re: Hello.
 

yea set your goals so they are unatainable than spend $$$$$ and make it hapen >:D >:D to bad im poor right now.

any who welcome to the site.

Re: Hello.
 

lol. well, i dont really need a fast car nor do i have the money right now to build one. plus i just want this car to last me thro uni and maybe a year or 2 after. then i'll prolly go shopping for something different than a civic.

Re: Hello.
 

You can build a kit for well under a grand and get you into the 15's. If your not a stupid ----, you could probably go faster. Read up on BBKA's motor, stock internaled. ;)

Re: Hello.
 

Yeah, if you spend ur money right and can fab some ---- urself you coulf easily have a kit for $600-$700 maybee less that would be capable of faster than 15sec.

Re: Hello.
 

the edelbrock manifold for the y8 will fit your y7

Re: Hello.
 

Hell just buy one of the ------ed kits from the FS section :S

Re: Hello.
 

HI :P

Re: Hello.
 

well i'm willing to spend about 1500. less would be nicer, however. O0

i'm pretty sure i can get everything done myself. i might need some help with the fuel management though.
