hey i have been haning around this board for a long time and just havn't made many posts. but i figured that i would post up my build. what i have so far.

del sol with a D16

i/c piping
jrc f/m intercooler
dsm bov and greddy type rs bov (havn't welded the flang on the i/c piping yet)
dsm 450cc injectors w/ resistor box
a/c compatible manifold
down pipe
wrx td04l turbo
6 puck clutch
i think its a 2an oil line i have, i bought it from someone a while ago. do i need a restrictor for it? some poeple have said no and some people have said yes, sommething about like a sorta built in restrictor? well for this paticular turbo anyway.

this is all going on a D16z6 block with 60k on it. here are some pics of the engine, turbo, and mani











so i guess i should get a new map sensor so i can run over 11.5 lbs of boost or whatever honda maps read to. my goal is 200whp and over. do you guys think i can make a solid 200 whp running 10-14 psi? what head gasket should i use? or will the oem replacement be alright. and i am pretty sure the stock internals will hold up alright, what do you guys think? and also what boost controler do you guys recomend for minimal spikes? i have seen that a few people on here are running setups similar to mine. any help or tips would be great.

Hum... I don't think you'll go fast without a car with that setup.

What do you expect by posting this?

Try at least to make the thread interesting!

Such a wonderful manifold deserves something more than a mere tdo4l. Step up to the plate nog.

Post **** too, ok.

That's better :P

Your manifold is cool, where did you get it? Built it yourself?

yeah i really wanted a t3, but the flang was already welded to the mani. also i think this turbo should be good for 200 whp (i am running stock internals on this motor) so i dono if i will need something to much bigger until i start building my other engine . but if someone wants to send a good deal on a t3 this way i might change my mind. i can't the computer i am on has a bunch of blocker crap on it. no i didn't build it i got it form damien at omen speed works. he's got a web site (omenspeedworks.com) it was a pretty good deal to. the only thing is it took a friggen looooooong time to get it as in like a year, long story. he is a little over run.

youre gonna need a 4" exhaust dumping out the hood to make that turbo fun

if i were you i would replace that water pump while its out of the car

ds0440

yeah i was planning on doing a water pump and timing belt change. the oil pump should be good for a while right? i havn't dropped the pan yet to check for any crap down there but it should be good. the owner took good care of this motor.
