Questions on Turboing my D16Z6
Ok I have decided to turbo my car, a 93 Honda Civic Ex with the D16Z6 motor in it. It has about 160k on it. What should I do to make sure my engine dosent blow? I can get a newer block and crank with p2p internals pretty cheap.
p2p = d16y8 d16z6 = crank and block with d16y8 pistons and rods. Is that a good set up? Then I could just rebuild the head and put on a new headgasket set and I would be good to go right? Any tips or trick here? I have axcess to a machine shop, my Dad builds racing engines for a living but he hast done many turbo honda engines. Thanks. |
Re:Questions on Turboing my D16Z6
If your dad builds engines and you can get all the machine work for free. than I wouldn't ---- around with stock parts, spend the money now and just get Eagle rods and forged pistons. It may be a little more expensive now but you'll make some nice power without worrying about blowing your motor.
Just my advice read this https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...threadid=27914 these SOHC humpers know a little more about D-series imbreeding than I've ever cared to know. |
