IHI Turbo Civic
 

Hey I have a 97 civic ex with a d16y8. I bought an IHI turbo and and intercooler from a friend. I don't really know what all I need to do as in upgrades for my car before I put it on to handle the boost? And where do I buy a map censor? And how much should it cost? I want more than just 6 or 7 lbs of boost. I have a few mods but not much. Thanks. ::)

you dont need to buy a map sensor, unless your stock one is bad.. you can get a "missing link bypass valve" that fits under your map sensor, which hides positve pressure from the map sensor.

That turbo will run 8psi, so I recommend some larger injectors and a controller to pulse them slower (AFC/450cc dsm injector hack)

Unless you modify the wastegate actuator to lower the boost somehow.

if its the subaru ihi from like the older turbo models be super careful. mine keeps creeping boost till 13-14 psi and thats automatic death on a sohc civic.
