wtf is flamming? is that kinda like jamming? :l

Anywho bro, do your setup correctly, tune it correctly, dont get cocky and up the boost past a reasonable amount and you should be okay.. make sure your engine is in good working order first though. :6

I bet he is a domestic loving, mullet wearing, traillerpark living, cracker....lol

Kidding asside, if you do it right, and tune it right, it will be fine. Look around, almost everymember, well almost every Old school member has done and currently drives an HMT setup.

With good tuning, you will be fine. Check your engine's compression, make sure it is running strong. You can't use the DSM manifold on your D16. I don't think you can use the injectors either, maybe someone else can verify this.

Everything else is good. Read some more on Engine Management to determined what you want to do on your budget.

The most important thing is for you to read and do your research first. Once you understand how everything works and you need some clarification ask questions.

HA ha... You should see some of the looks I get when I tell people I have a turbo off a Mustang. They just can't figure it out. The concept just confounds their tiny brains...

"How in the heck do you bolt up a Mustang turbo to a Honda Civic!"

(Read that and add a little drawl to it) :S
