1994 Honda Civic D16Z6. Below is a list of my mods. The block is stock.

1. Mild ported head - done by me
2. BBK 62mm throttle body
3. Zex 59300 cam shaft
4. Garrett T3 turbo from 740 Volvo - rebuilt by me
5. Honda Civic CX manifold welded to turbo flange
6. DSM 450cc injectors
7. Resistor pack
8. DSM side mount intercooler
9. DSM BOV - crushed top
10. Hydrolic 300psi rubber hose oil feed line
11. Bosal Brospeed 21/4 inch cat-back
12. Catco free flow catalytic converter
13. Down pipe is 21/4 inch
14. Apexi VAFC fuel computer

I installed the turbo about a month ago. I got it dynoed and the best result was 191WHP and 172FTP Torque . No turbo lag. The turbo spools quickly and pulls hard to redline. When the turbo is spooling it sound like a turbo trailer but a bit louder .

I plan to remove the catalytic converter and the resonator soon. I will be switching to a front mount IC and a 3 inch down-pipe also. Hopefully, I will be able to bump the WHP to 200 and Torque to 180 . I will post pictures as soon as I take some and figure out how to do it.

Sounds like a nice setup. How do you like the dsm bov? and where are the pics?

StanB

The BOV is sweet. It has a nice swooosh sound. I had to crush the top because it wasn't holding the boost. It would release pressure at very low boost before I even change gear or backoff the gas. I will take some pictures tomorrow (Saturday) and post them.

!80 WHP, sounds very very nice, espicially for a CX mani, with 2 1/4 DP, lol, it's hard to believe actually, how much boost are you running and what are you using for fuel management? that zex cam shaft most add alot eh?

djfob

hmm that's weird....I've heard dsm bov's are good uncrushed till about 15 psi. Oh by the way did you use the stock injector seals for the 450's. Gonna be using the same injectors and i think I heard i don't need napa seals for the z6.Thanks

StanB

Spenser, it is actually 191WHP I am not sure how much boost I am running. I have a boost guage and at one time it showed me 10psi. It's an auto meter guage...paid $28 from Summit Racing. I honsetly don't think it is accurate. I am using an Apexi VAFC meter to control fuel.

StanB

I used the stock injector seal. You will have to use a dremel tool and gently widen the seal. Just remove a little at a time and test fit an injector. You want a nice close fit.

^^^ awesome saved some coin thanks

THRESHOLD

no you dont need napa injector seals i set my 450cc. on the and found out before going to work that you can put the stock ones back in there after the modify,

I finally got to post some pictures. I will be removing the cat and resonator and replace them with a straight pipe. I will be upgrading the turbo to a Garrett A.R 60/48. With some tuning I hope to reach about 200WHP and 190+ FT-LB torque to the wheels
