can you turbo a D16Y4

[_Robert_]

hey guys,

i was wondering can you turbo the D16Y4 SOHC 1.6L non ***** has any one done this and i want to run around 10-12psi daily. should i do a engine transfer or just turbo this

[dsrspwr]

you can turbo anything, if you want to run 10-12 daily you would prolly need 8.5:1 c/r pistons and upgraded rods

and its vtec, not v t e c h

you can run 12psi on 10:1 comression as long as you have good fuel managment like standalone with good tuning. You can blow a bullet proof motor without tuning.

How much power are you looking to make?
Pick a hp number not a psi number.
You can run 10psi easily on that engine if you have the rite set-up.

well i want around 150-200hp at the treads

you can leave your motor stock if your goals are only 150-200whp

[dsrspwr]

if youd be satisfied with 150, i think im runnin at least 160 with stock motor and no fuel management or tuning what-so-ever

my motor is the sohc non vtec so i dont think mine is goin to be 150 at the wheels so i need to do something

[dsrspwr]

yea, thats what this whole turbo discussion is about...

Get yourself a t3 (.42/.48) turbo
turbo manifold,intercooler and hondata with some 450cc + injectors.
You should be safe up to about 10psi (or about 175whp)
Don't forget the other stuff like charge pipes,bov,wg,etc etc etc. I just didn't want to make a list.

you wont need a wastegate, t3's are internal wastegate

You still need a wastegate
I know that they are internally gated, but you can still switch to external if you like. I just didn't want to get to indepth with the list so I figured that I'd throw that on there so some smartass didn't hop on and say "you forgot a wg".
While we're at it don't forget oil feed and drain lines, colder spark plugs, patience, time, Blah blah blah

[dsrspwr]

no, actually if he went t3, he would NOT need a wastegate. im doin fine boosting off the wastegate at 4psi

[_Robert_]

So what you are saying i dont need a wg if i only run 4psi but need one runnign10
