ProjectAlpha Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 i recently purchased a '97 civic over the winter, and me and my buddy have begun it's transformation from a stock beater, to a sup'd up model. - and i've already gotten to work on the body - i recently just slapped on an R34 bodykit, with aftermarket mirrors, headlights, tail lights, fenders, and hood. but now that i'm getting into the engine work, i need a little bit of help... i've elected to just stick with the stock d16 motor and rebuild it.. a i recently bought a turbo off of a friend of mine - and i know the engine wouldn't be able to handle the turbo right now (stock) - so what do i need to replace/add to it, to make it be able to support it... i am in the process of buying the intercooler and turbo manifold - what should be my next step? thanks a lot. -DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex37211 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 the size of the turbo is important. Find out the specs on the turbo to see if it is even usable. You will need injectors, blow off valve, possibly a wastegate depending on your turbo, tuning software, maybe fuel pump, wideband o2 sensor, intake piping, etc. Plus you wont need a rebuild unless you're looking for over 200-220 hp. Keep in mind that if you currently only make 100-110 hp to the wheels so 200 is a HUGE step and probably more than you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
